I have been watching this for 49 minutes and 23 seconds and I have never seen Joe Rogan be this silent before. What a phenomenal guest. A great NPC indeed.
This sucks. Yea yea yea, we are living in a computer program. Who gives AF. We need Trump on this podcast. America is crumbling and all we get is horrible comedians, some fake CIA operative that never answers a single question, 5 people that tell us that destroying innocent people in Palestine is justified, or some 40 year old virgin Dibble Dibble.
This has to be the best episode in my opinion. So many relatable stories with each going back to backing his previous statements. His view of every lesson in life is very wise. Very smart man.
@@Roger-il8iw neil is smart in making money what a sell out that guy is lmao mr science believes in the LBGTQwhatever+ ideoligy forive me for me Englisch third language
I don't think Joe Rogan gets enough credit man, he is such a great interviewer and always asks great questions or at least tries to. He does a great job at trying his hardest to understand everyone on his pod and genuinely tries to give them the time of day. Joe, you are the greatest podcaster in the world right now. Thank you
Rizwan "The simulation is just the tip of the spear" Joe "Have you seen an orangutan fishing with a spear?" Rizwan "What? No. I just meant..." Joe "Jamie, pull up the spearfishing orangutan for Rizwan, please."
Incredible interview. As a Yoga teacher, I was so excited to hear Rizwan Virk refer to Yogananada, Autobiography of a Yogi, Karma, Reincarnation and NDEs. Juxtaposing ancient wisdom with modern technology and science, made this interview riveting. Thank you JRE. More of this!
@@HeavyDuty608 the way he talks is so easy to understand he’s not being over complicated like some of the guests using crazy words he’s talking like a normal person
I'm dead 💀 (biologically speaking I am, in fact, alive. However, to emphasize how hilarious I found the comment just made, I made a hyperbolic statement saying that I was dead because it implies that I found the joke so funny I ceased to live. However, I am indeed alive and well so there is no need for you all to worry. I was simply employing the tactic of figurative language in order to better and more effectively communicate my message. Additionally, using slang and sayings commonly employed by the youth has made my message more understandable and reachable by the younger generation, many of whom are in this chat. For example, I could have said "that joke was a real knee slapper". This would have made sense to some of the older people in this chat as knee slapping used to be a sign of hilarity. However, in this digital age in which we now live, knee slapping is not as common and many of today's youth may not understand the reference. I therefore made my message more understandable to younger people through my use of simple, easily understood slang. I hope this clears everything up, and I appreciate any concern that I was actually dead. I can assure you I am alive and well.)
1.24.49 into the video he nails it. The future is communicating with us in the past and they use our dreams to show possibilities which we then must decipher and chose from. This would explain why I dream the way I do and have my entire life. The way I talk about my dreams is, “one of me did this and then this happened” I never dream fantasies. Ever.
ah graham and flint dibble having a boxing match with virk as a ref and joe commentating would be gold. graham using the gobekli tepe suplex which was unearthed in a freak accident. dibble is dribbling theories from the 19th century as graham puts him to sleep XD
Somehow RU-vid accessible rogan is the best rogan. He's had some great ones again since coming back to the platform. This is peak potential rogan material
One of the best podcasts Joe Rogan had. Joe if you reading this you need to bring this guy back in the future or even new people involved in this area, this topic is addicting.
I love reading a phrase that is said in the podcast a few seconds before or after i hear it LOL It’s happened a handful times in the of years since I’ve been watching but it’s always satisfying haha
@@bigben42 yeah, prbly.madness....but maybe also the useful variety of madness.... I think Joe should start a series of "sequels"..... I would love to see Eric weinstein and Sean carrol come on JUST to "react" to Terrence Howard.....would be a 7 hour podcast
Same here, that was a wild ride. Funnily enough Terrence's point about gravity being a by-product (he contends of the electromagnetic force) has foundation, but from very different points of view: in the holographic theory proposed by Erik Verlinde, gravity is suggested to be an entropic force, a by product of the rise of entropy on the boundary of the universe. It's like a statistical side effect of whatever is happening out there on the boundary, in much the same way an elastic band attached to the inside of a closed box tends to pull back and end up in a curled up position. The PBS space-time show, episode, "what if gravity is not a fundamental force- entropic gravity" has a good if mind boggling breakdown. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-qYSKEbd956M.htmlsi=BnW9uTGUI9Dyup_I
He just used the idea of a game as a metaphor cos he’s worked on video games. He even said in the episode that it’s a metaphor to explain complex topics easier.
Idk why Joe is so tuned out or what, but this dude is fucking fascinating to me and he's speaking my language, tell me ALL the ends and outs of the various simulation theories. Dude had a BUNCH of interesting anecdotes, stories, and ways of framing the problem, I liked it a lot.
Damn, out of nowhere this one easily falls in my top 10 JRE episodes. This was interesting the whole time. Whether you subscribe to any of this shit or not, its hard to stop listening.
I came into this podcast not ever listening to Rizwan Virk, so I was skeptical. Now, I ve just sat through the entirety of one of the best, most enjoyable, Joe Rogan Experiences ever! You are the man, Riz. Thank you.
@@jordanalexander1592 Is that your mature mentality? Someone must be a child if they dont agree with you? LMAO After a quick analysis, your account is about 8 years newer than his, so if anything youre younger or just had no idea RU-vid existed for almost a decade. Welcome. I remember my first time. Try using your words next time if you disagree with someone so you dont look like someone with sensitivity issues that cant cope with someone not feeling the exact same way about Mike Baker as you do.
@DrummerJacob What are you, an internet private investigator? Get off your computer bro. Yes, this is my second youtube acct. And the Mike Baker / conspiracy stuff is just so played out. Why don't you mature a bit and stop making assumptions based off my youtube channel? What are you, 14?
Dude....taking a snack break on the world's top podcast is gangster.....its like when Spiccoli orders the pizza to be delivered to class..... (that reference may be before your generation)
We are all living in a simulation Where you’re born, is not chosen. Your physical features, we’re not chosen. The generation you’re born into, was not chosen. Your genetic predispositions, were not chosen. Your parents, were not chosen. The culture you’re born into, was not chosen. Your name, was not chosen. Your economic background, is not chosen. Your childhood experiences, were not chosen. Are you really doing anything other than following incentives and carrying out your culture? Yet all these variables determine exactly what & who you are. Knowledge of this doesn’t change anything, you must run the simulation until the very end as it’s meant to play out
It was painful to watch him try to explain the quantum slit experiment, circling the point with silly analogies about schroedingers cat and then quantum computing without actually talking about how light is both a particle and a wave depending on measurement, the whole basis for the experiment and what he was talking about.
Yeah that was my problem too, he's not a qualified scientist from what I can tell. Not that that is necessarily an issue, but it can be with regard to the point he was trying to make (his analogy of light splitting in two a million light years away not being 'decided' until it is observed).
This Convo was actually really interesting but you could tell Joe had nothing for him. He just sat silent. Joe's like, "so did you know they're putting kitty litter boxes in middle schools?" Sad to see that joe doesn't love these conversations anymore.
@@radicalleftovers1016 Joe was high and soaking it all in, I know because I was in the same state, yal don't know Joe if you think he would let a podcast go for 3 hours if he was bored
So glad someone mentioned this.. Jaime probably edited it out because we can’t hear anything.. seems pretty rude. But weird that Jamie’s mic wouldn’t be push to talk by default
It could be random like chat gpt makes images, some alien could have put a prompt into their simulation creator gpt and the supercomputer created our fucked up world
why make the same comment as someone else lol? coincidence? or are you a copy of another version of the other guy who made the same comment? wait who made it first? are there two of you? is this a simulation?
A chess player can burn 6000 calories a day in a chess tournament. So if the dude is thinking really hard he might be using a lot of energy. That or he has a carb based diet and gets hungry often.
Rizwan, I wish you all the best with your health moving forward ❤🙏🏾. I'm sure these long discussions aren't easy with the level of heart complications you've had. Thank you for sharing your passion with us. Love from Canada.
I’m an idiot, no wait I’m simulating as an idiot, wait maybe there’s two realties I’m smart or an idiot until it’s measured. Ok we measured. I’m an idiot
Discovering Rizwan Virk here this week has been an incredible blessing! Thank you for having him on the show! I'm a Kriyaban yogi, disciple of Paramhansa Yogananda and a PKD fan, and I have been dreaming of hearing a conversation like this that beautifully merges modern science, VR technology metaphors and the wisdom of Autobiography of a Yogi in such a profound, yet practical way that benefits our daily life. Plunging deeply into this rabbit hole!
My Mother asks Questions she already knows the Answers to. I don't see the difficulty in writing your own exam. If you think this is Legendary, you have never done anything difficult in your life. Ever.
I was listening to the episode on Spotify and I paused it and had to come youtube just for the comment section and you guys didnt let me down, thank you😂
LOLOL Joe has NEVER understoood this theory at all, and is only kind of comfortable admitting it. Got a feeling there's going to be a lot of Riiiiight's and hopefully Joe will come clean about not getting it. I hope he doesnt go back to getting stuck on "but how do we know this isnt the ORIGINAL series of events as opposed to the simulation" lol.
The more you understand about programming the more this really just makes sense. If you just take it and and apply it as a lense, it really does explain a lot.
Adults have always been talking about this, now we have a credible scientist talking with an open minded person who isn't mentally or totally full of shit.
@@okeyokey578lol no it’s not a psyop. Have you ever experienced Mandela effects? Maybe start paying attention and you’ll see things change all the time
As a eighties baby I vividly remember sinbad in Kazzam in the early mid nineties before her did a few other mid grade movies such as the president's kid where he played a secret service agent protecting the president's kid. No one will change my mind nor memory.
Thus why I drink fresh fruit juices straight from the fruit and having a well for my coffee and tea is a plus . Make my own deodorant and toothpaste and oral rinse. Live our best lifes.
I watched The Elephant man 3 times prior and the ending changed for me. It’s one of my favorite movies and the gap between the change was only 4 years. For the ppl it changed for we all remember the exact same ending. I posted about it on Reddit years ago. Nurse finds John dead. Anthony Hopkins walks in and gives a short soliloquy on whether Merrick chose to end his pathetic existence. Using the word “pathetic” to describe John’s life really hit me and I have a specific memory of thinking that. Mm in the first viewing. “Being systematically gawked at like an animal.” He later says “That death is the great equalizer. “We’re all equal in death but men like Merrick are more.” I remember this fucking ending. There has never been an alternative cut of The Elephant Man ever released to the public. But Mandela Effects don’t affect everyone. I spoke to ppl that saw the esoteric mother ending in the movie theaters when it first released
I think he's trying to see the relevance. The guy just has a good grasp of some subjects and has overlayed a video game universe development model on everything. He's 6 layers deep into his own theory, and I'm not sure it's really all that compelling...
@@Xbox_qt the problem is that it's just not a good theory, not that it's hard to understand. These open-ended "glitches" in our reality are better evidence of our lack of full understanding than a technology like one we've created in our reality hosting our reality. Literally as sophisticated a theory as using a word in its own definition. The guy starts talking overly-wrought tech and theory details to make it seem like an intelligent theory. There's nothing about it that makes it more than an overly academic thought experiment. ... OMG I've figured out REALITY. We're in a video game!!! Cause like, it's just so similar. But who made the video game? How'd we get here? Well, that's the real question isn't it. ... Yes, asshole. That's the real question.
This may be the most awesome insightful guest ever. As a lifelong Atheist, I began to get interested in UAP/UFO/NHI and NDE in the last few years. I began to notice this bizarre similarities between religions, NDE, and the UFO phenomenon. There's a very odd correlation I never expected. Everything this gentleman said really reinforces some new feelings and thoughts I've been having lately. I'm also a Computer Scientist and had found "the plank length", quantum mechanics to be oddly similar to rendering video games. I don't necessarily believe we're playing a "video game" but I'm beginning to think that Conciousness extends past our physical life. Which has been a very hard pill to swallow. I just got interested into NDE after my uncle had 1. My uncle is the furthest thing from a religious believer. I was shocked when he told us what he "experienced" after being pronounced dead for 7 minutes. His story is bizarrely similar to most others. No way my Uncle made that up. I had asked him if it felt like a dream, thinking that NDE'ers are really in some dream state. He said what every other NDE'er says, "The NDE actually felt MORE real, than me talking to you right now." He described having more than the 5 senses we know. This man is right. There's a very common claim amongst NDE'ers, a "life review." And experiencing your actions to all others you've affected. What an awesome guest. 👌
Same here. I'm not just going to willy nilly believe a specific religion but common patterns across them and common experiences across people, now that's worth looking into
Same thing with my Uncle. Never knew him to be religious or spiritual but he saw his family and loved ones who passed on. They said it wasn't his time yet and he came back.
@@travishopper5133 "fact" is impossible when it comes to subjective experience of our consciousness. Facts can only be established by that which appears in our objective physical reality. All we have to go on when trying to figure out these subjective experiences of consciousness is the commonalities between what people report.
This dude is actually confirming every wild tangent my brain has wandered on psilocybin. I genuinely don't believe the majority of people can even begin to comprehend what a simulation theory could entail. And if you believe that a simulation is possible, the odds of us, or you, currently existing in the "base" reality is virtually 0
Same. But I hadn’t connected it to simulation theory. It’s unsettling how closely this aligns with where my thoughts where on a heroic dose. *I was completely unfamiliar the details of simulation theory before this ep.
I like NDTs reasoning that it is more like 50/50: because we don't have simulation capabilities, so either we are reality as we are the first to start to consider developing the capability, but are yet to do so... or we are at the far end as the final simulation, which has not yet developed it.😊
We are organic avatars and our brains are transmitters to receive information from our "higher self." My psilocybin experience I felt like I was in an experiment, my parents weren't my real parents, like I knew that's what I had thought of them as for my entire life, but I no longer recognized them as that. I kept throwing up, would drink water, taste the water, would immediately think it was the poison/medicine that was keeping me in the experiment, so for a long time I would just drink water and throw it back up, but what came out was more than just water. I kept asking my wife where this stuff was coming from because I've only had water for the past hour or so and she was sober herself and I remember her saying she didn't know and it makes no sense to her either. I've reflected back on that experience numerous times and haven't had a heroic dose like that since, but my entire reality shifted after that experience. I remember looking at the time being 5:55 and it seemed like that minute lasted forever at that time. Needless to say, I don't drink tap water anymore LOL
I Swear it was Bernstein Bears as well i use to have all the books, dug them out of my parents attic and it is changed, makes your mind go crazy and the sinbad genie movie i know i seen it back in the day we use to laugh cause kazam with shaq came out after and we would call it the knock off version. Makes you wonder what causes this but that rabbit hole is too deep!
This guy's good no doubt. But 'The Simulation Podcast' is even better! It gave the first answer to base reality that I've ever heard, gave me so much peace.
