Paul Rosolie: Amazon Jungle, Uncontacted Tribes, Anacondas, and Ayahuasca | Lex Fridman Podcast  

Why are humans not natural? Why is man made not natural?

lex the guy truth above all was me yes french /portuguese i was hit whit the hardest truth's and, did not break me ! au contraire , made me.

he says the amazon is the best example of natural growth, meanwhile, the trees are above the level of the man made structures, so clearly a civilization was there before the present day vegetation.

en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Gendarme_and_the_Extra-Terrestrials 😂

Lex brother the anaconda story you heard at the beginning was a fatttttttt lie. Look it up, anacondas dont get that long, they get heavy. Reticulated python will be the one they find thats “25” feet

You are right, this man is on the level of Manolis Kellis with the stories.

Certified, was hooked after the first 2 minutes !

I’m with you on that one. Find a quiet place at night to tune into this one.

"... And remember, this is only exhibition, not a competition... please... no wagering" - Dave Letterman (doing his "stupid human (or pet) tricks" bits)... still, this guy's abilities to paint images on the canvas of our brains is awesome, and coming from a once 9 year old illiterate, INSPIRING !

I k r? I didn’t know about him before but an incredibly memorable episode. Made me get up before dawn and go out to nature today!

“🤓no comments, let me change that🤓”

Agreed bro

Trying to grab an anaconda (weighing 200-400 pounds or more) is officially the dumbest of dumb-dude moves! Do you grab tigers by the tail, tweek elephants on the trunk & punch rinos in the mouth too? I'm actually surprised you admitted to these activities. You only survived by pure dumb luck! These over-glorified, tall tales encourage other young, dumb-dudes, which you know is dangerously dumb, but it sells books, right? Your Amazon tales are irresponsible especially to those who know better & know how impressionable so many young, male teens & twenty somethings are. Your stories are like watching the show "Rediculousness".

So the natives are drinking bum sweat?

It really was beautiful wasn't it?

​@@JACKAL98What do you think you're drinking? Do you know where tap water comes from? From chemically cleaned waste water from your toilet, bathroom, kitchen sink etc. Id rather drink water purified in nature than drinking chlorine cleaned shit...

I was thinking if this man isn’t a writer he should be. He’s great a prose.

Most people brush there teeth with fecal matter... done brush lol​@JACKAL98

Be very careful with this particular guy……… I heard him on one clip on Joe Rogan back in July,…. It’s now October, and I’ve booked a trip to the Amazon on his expedition. Every interview he gives is like this. I have to go and collect my own stories sitting in his boat now. He’s brilliant. Highly recommend “Mother Of God”

Yes sir

​😊😊😊😊😊

@@Ashbash-kf5xdwhere do you book the trips?

lmao same i paused every time and if i missed something id go back.. so interesting

He jumps onto Anacondas. Obviously, *GOD* is protecting him more than we ever could.

"This man needs to be protected at all costs." What a stupid thing to say.

​@@andysmith1996 Pretty common thing to say on the internet.

@@garygenslerstwin9490 Just because other people say something stupid doesn't mean you have to.

@@andysmith1996 what do you mean to say?

Has he tricked you that the killers are victims yet as well?

He's the best by far

​@@RU-vidsDead No no😂... The Killers are evil bastards alright 👍

Yes...hoping this podcast will surpass all the other podcasts in views in short time. The information is very valuable to all.

This Paul Rololie Dude is off the charts cool . N O T easy work . . . - . . . I ' m sure .

I recently saw this one too - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-eytcGavv5ck.html

He’s recently been on Joe Rogan

The story about the 16ft anaconda was BS 😂 he jumped on it and it was so big he couldn’t wrap his arms around it 🤣

@@oo0024regardless, it’s a good story told well.

@@oo0024 And you would know ...

Self preservation be logical🧑‍🏫

Ok virtue signaller 😅

Yes, he's good at making things up.

I agree

He is! And Lex brought that out even more, the chemistry was perfect-

For SURE

Agreed

Perfect way to explain it👏

Not so contagious that you wanna float down the Amazon I hope 😂

SERIOUSLY

Yes, I feel extremely unaccomplished after listening

Human beings are of four types: 1. A man who knows, and knows that he knows. This is the scholar, so take and patiently learn from him. 2. A man who knows, but does not know that he knows. This one has forgotten, so quietly remind him. 3. A man who does not know, and knows that he does not know. This one is a student, so teach him continuously because he will be a great scholar one day. 4. A man who does not know, and does not know that he does not know and isn’t even interested in knowing. This one is an idiot, so reject him". ~ ECSaayli

@@stokedmtb333 #1 is a myth. The more you know, the more ways you realize you can be wrong. Nobody that isn't dangerous would consider themselves #1.

@@LandonBell11 It is important to fail and therefore be wrong in order to learn, and in turn realize that “knowing” is the PURSUIT of knowledge itself that is important….and not the attainment of “all-knowing knowledge” (which is a myth). We look to scholars who stood before us to gain insight and understanding of knowledge: Einstein, Gandhi, Bruce Lee, Hawking…and many others who understood that the knowing is in the constant pursuit and therefore acceptance of inevitable failures as a means to rise above and further their knowledge - “a man who knows, and knows that he knows.”

@@stokedmtb333 so... knowing isn't knowing, but knowing you don't know? Sounds like we're saying the same thing.

unusual indeed

Yep.

Yes, isn't it interesting? Psychopathy is beautiful to us. Psychopaths,have an evolutionary advantage, super focused,tuned in, looking into his eyes,the glint. There is primal gaze. We're just biological machines?

yes free minus your monthly internet service bill or invoice😅, or phone bill. lolz, but anyways, yes I agree!

​@@nozrep stolen electricity and Internet. I'm a very naughty fellow.

@@nozrep That comment was so fucking unnecessary

​@@Hrossey You rock you slick bastard!! 🤜🏽😂

​@@nozrep your point?

He tells some good stories. I wonder if he made them all up himself

ice poseidon

I agree. 'The Movie just started, i came online' Brilliant description.

I had to play this one to a friend its so good. This dude's life experiences must have been so surreal. Sad to hear he got divorced tho. I guess the Mrs. didnt want to share him with the jungle 😅

I'm willing to bet that mankind will eventually send a supposedly invincible android to the tribes out there and the robot will force itself upon the tribe learning their language and it will live with the tribe and start communicating with the tribe until it tricks the tribe into accepting the android as one of their own.

I love this Podcast but perhaps this is the best of then all

This guy? What?

Sorry RU-vid is glitching. I thought I was commenting on a wired video called “spy support” featuring a woman but it seems RU-vid is displaying a different comments section somehow.

@@somethingsomething404 lol

Hahaha

I can totally imagine that😂

Psychopath

Robots be like that 😋

The BPM is an outward illusion. Lex is a somewhat anxious person. And when it comes to experiencing joys and pleasures I would care to bet he willingly increases his BPM.

I understand, only because I have an adventurous son. I taught him to read and count early and that's where it ended- his real education was time with my dad, a biologist or building and fixing things with his dad. My son could identify unique classifications of birds, animals plants and trees by age five. By second grade his teachers tried to get me to put him on medication because he was bored, energetic and he didn't like sitting at a desk and staring at a one dimensional piece of paper for eight hours. He was a normal boy but we let him get tested, then I refused to put him on pills, especially when I learned that every child in his class got a recommendation to get tested and every child got a prescription. It's a situation of government subsidies, the doctors and the schools get a financial kickback. l think that we're evolving, cells have memory, we carry the history of our ancestors inside of us and we need to tap into that, at our core level, if we're going to know the truth about human history and cycles of destruction. Other than learning to read and to do some math, school is a monumental waste, they're teaching an agreed upon set of lies and with the level of indoctrination now it's become downright detrimental. Kids are being conditioned for conformity, legal slavery unawares and institutionalized living and thinking. A boy's natural thirst for adventure- that adrenaline rush- is channeled into sex, drugs, fast cars and otherwise embracing the dark side. Or they resign themselves to their fate and escape into technology and/or conforming. I don't think enough people realize that we are going to be living off the land in our lifetime, and it will be incredibly rewarding and humbling..some will choose to lose their soul in exchange for inconvenient convenience, it's essentially bondage leading them blindly into the mouth of the dragon. We would do well to start workshops teaching children- and even adults- basic and advanced survival skills and natural living. The world is so incredibly vast, parts of it have yet to be seen by human eyes, so beautiful -yet people pile on top of each other on a concrete slab, a prison without bars. That isn't truly living.

You can, it's called bushcraft

@@maggiemoonpie2168 Could you briefly explain how you believe we are going to be "living off the land" in our lifetimes? Also clarify what you mean exactly when you say "live off the land." Can't imagine total societal collapse in our lifetime but I'm interested in your response.

​@@SonoftheWest316 hunting and gathering. Why do you ask stupid questions bro? Argue with your fn mom if you're bored.

It's never too late, go seek your adventure. ❤

lol , wish he had a picture 😊😊, so cool

Wow that’s definitely one of the best analogies I have seen

agree

Can you give me some examples of books that you can’t put down please?

@@yosemalo The Holy Bible for one. I'm surprised you can read funny man.

@@usscott what?

OMG yes!

JJ died. About 30 minute in He told the story about how great of a man JJ was and how he was somewhat of a legend of the Amazon until one day he was at a local BBQ and suddenly passed away. He doesn’t elaborate on how he died.

@@Peppercorn69 JJ's father Santiago died peacefully at a BBQ.

​@@Peppercorn69 the chef was eaten by a snake

Absolutely

I was thinking the same. Walking to my mailbox a half mile away I see tracks. I heard leaves rustled. I see a tree being bored by something with claws for bugs inside. I step over a bug. Nothing compared to this man’s experience but quite something to what most people experience. I’m also in the South. Very rural. I wouldn’t trade it for anything.

@@citizentex5720 Nice post! Just in the past few days I've seen deer, crows, turkeys, buzzards, squirrels, geese, hundreds of various species of birds, and a possum in my large back yard that borders woods. I keep a pair of binos on my kitchen window sill to get closer looks. I put all my animal carcasses and uneaten food near the treeline so make sure the local buzzards always have a snack. They are ugly to most people, but to me they're beautiful. Few people realize that buzzard poults are fluffy white. We had a family living in an old shooting box on my dad's farm. We turned it over to them, lol.

I relate to Paul Rosolie's experiences as in my part of the world, in my lifetime, I've woefully watched as they paved paradise and put up parking lots 😢

I can relate , I grew up in Alaska we had no shortage of adventures in the wild growing up , I wouldn’t trade those experiences for nothing

Very well put! I love scuba diving places that have never been seen, and it all goes back to a creek at my grandmothers house on the mobile bay. That creek, from the clams in the sand, all the way up to just the Spanish moss hanging from centuries old oak trees hanging over it, all gave me such a strong sense of wonder. Like how is there so much beauty, and we don’t even know the half of it!

Same here. Gave me goosebumps multiple multiple times. Amazing

@@carrieallen5057 really makes me wanna visit the amazon now lol

One of the few interviews I've watched beginning to end. I bought his book.

One sitting 😳

Does that include films?

great story teller

Such a grate guy

Foreal

You’re definitely a beta boy

Agreed! Visiting a small part of the rainforest in Costa Rica & seeing how amazing the ppl & wildlife there was is the coolest thing I've ever done so can only imagine what experiencing the Amazon would be like but def hope to go sometime soon😊

same here bro!

@@Sheseasyouthere So how much YOU donate? Enough to make an actual difference or just enough to virtue signal & feed your unchecked ego??🧐 It's obnoxiously hypocritical & arrogant to assume (based off 1 comment a total stranger made) you know what ANYone else is or has done so maybe lay off the nasty attacks & practice some kindness & humility ffs!!!

Feel so too! What an amazing person.

It sent shiver down my spine that how dynamic those old jungles could be. We’re definitely the most sedentary creatures on the planet now.

Brilliant way of putting it. I felt like it was reminding me of that childhood wonder that gets beaten out of us in these tramline lives

yeah!

Wait, I thought this guy was from System Of A Down????

Yes!

I listened to this. And realized by mistake I disliked your comment. I have liked your comment and agree with you. 😊

@@Menaceblue3 😂😂

Amazing 😊

@@lesleymaclennan7899😅

Go outside- kick off your shoes- walk barefoot on the earth and soak up the sun and Mother Nature!! My favorite place and sanctuary is my woods! God is near you there, also.👍👍✌️🙏❤️

“Nobody no matter what the force can occupy my current space. I go to the wild.” Albert Camus. Yes. The tall pines & 4 corner deserts are my soulitude. Sanity.

Almost every other show falls into one of four categories; 1) academic (usually AI, mathematics or computer science) 2) super-guest (Musk, Rogan, Kanye) 3) biographical story of a comedian or a rare athlete/skill holder (Like the chess player or the arm wrestler) 4) political theory in general, historical event or current event (like Ukraine) This show is more like an adventure. This category should be explored further by Lex imo.

@@JoeyVol true!

A😮

i think paul did the interviewer when it came to alinens hahaha

I actually love the way he’ll just stop after hearing his guest speak and just close his eyes, breath deep and absorb what he just heard. I do it at the same time sometimes while listening.

i honestly got annoyed more than once that hed go back to the notes and dive off one subject paul was talking super passionately about, like saving the rain forest and how he can have an impact at 18 - and lex immediately looks at the paper and asks " so what about andacondas". Was an amazing interview and im new to his process / channel but it felt pretty inauthentic more than once bc of this

@@kamBlak3Lex has said before this is all still a learning curve for him, there must be some anxiety there to have variation and keep topics going he’s always open about his flaws so it’s hard to fault him

Thats because after that tough jungle experiences, being in some show or podcast seems so easy.

@@hundredcaws It doesn’t work like that

If I could have lived in the jungle like this wonderful man, I would have become all wild I believe. A jungle savage with no way back.

😢

@@Blu3s7reakYou don’t understand the point he’s trying to make smooth brain

6

Bs he found a snake so thick he couldnt wrap his arms around it

Same

😂

Me too

😂 lol

I WAS HERE TO COMMENT THE SAME THING!!

Did you have a permission to start a fire in Sweden?😂

@@mad-dog67 What are you on about?

Must be nice…

Take the headphones off and listen and look and nresth

As I started my morning here in the UK on the toilet with a routine function, having this pod playing on my phones speakers, I ended up with my ass empty and my legs numb. Life bruh!

Is there other podcasts you recommend that he is in, I just stared watching him, and I’m really interested

@@daniellegarcia1599 +1

@@daniellegarcia1599 Well he recently came on joe rogan's podcast, it's on spotify

@@daniellegarcia1599 he was on joe rogan too

​@@daniellegarcia1599I personally just finished him on Joe Rogan and looked up if he made any other appearances and found this, I think you'll enjoy it as much as I did

It' s 3:30 am and I'm wide awake hanging on his every word.

​@@marciamartins19925 am can't sleep / can't stop listening😂

lol yes , wasn't paying attention so i had to restart the video like whaaattt he talking about, that is lit

❤️

Right? I thought I'd listen whilst doing my sewing projects. Nope

@@carlamarlene2927 lol…..it was a very compelling interview! Made me change my mind and think about thinks I never had before. I appreciate Joe Reading gab’s podcast for that very reason. All , or most, of his guests are so unique and interesting.He’s a great interviewer as well!
