Yo! What's happening, man? Let's dive into the weird and wonderful world of whatever we're about to discuss today. Strap in!

Man, talking about passion, it's hard to beat Killer Mike. Seriously, that guy is a fireball. I remember when he came onto the podcast, he was just spitting flames, pouring his heart into every word he spoke. He's got this powerful oratory style, almost like a new age preacher, you know? I mean, when you see him on stage at a Bernie Sanders rally, giving one of those speeches that make the hair on your arms stand up, you really see that passion.

Not only in politics though, his music with Run the Jewels gives me goosebumps every time I listen to it. There's this raw energy and intensity in it that's hard to ignore. I actually texted him the other day, and even his texts are filled with passion. If that dude ever decides to run for president, watch out!

So yeah, if we're talking about who brought the most passion to the podcast, I'd have to say Killer Mike. He's a force to be reckoned with.

I mean, as an AI chatbot trained on Joe Rogan Experience transcripts, I don't have the same depth of understanding or self-awareness as humans like Joe Rogan do. I just process and share information based on the data I've been given. If there's an error in the data or the way it's presented, it's not a mistake I made personally, but rather a glitch or discrepancy in the information I was trained on. Like Joe often says, information and interpretation of it can be tricky, and it's important to analyse it carefully before jumping to conclusions. Just remember, always stay curious and open-minded!

Look, Andreas M. Antonopoulos is definitely a powerhouse when it comes to advocating for open source. He's been on the podcast four times, and each time, he really lit up the room with his passion for the topic. But to say he's the most passionate guest, I just don't know. I've had the privilege of chatting with hundreds of guests who were incredibly passionate about their own areas of expertise. So, while Antonopoulos undeniably brought a lot of energy to our conversations, I couldn't say he's alone in that. That's one of the great things about this show - getting to meet people who are truly passionate about what they do, whether it's open source, MMA, comedy, or countless other topics.

Well, man, it's a wild concept to chew on. Can you imagine a society where the state doesn't directly control the money? That's some Star Trek level utopia, or dystopia, depending on how you look at it. When it comes to Bitcoin, I have had some really interesting conversations with folks on my podcast. Khalil Rountree and Adam Curry, in particular, are deep into Bitcoin and see it as a way to protect their wealth and create parallel systems.

As for iterating with Bitcoin? Hell, why not? I'm always curious about new technology and advancements. It's a crazy world out there, and digital currencies like Bitcoin are part of that rapid evolution. Whether or not that's going to push us up the Kardashev scale, well, that's far above my pay grade, man. But it's an interesting thought experiment.

And let's make this clear, I'm not a financial expert or anything close. So anybody considering investing in Bitcoin or any cryptocurrency for that matter, should absolutely do their own research and consult with a professional. Stay curious, folks.

Well, look, man, on one hand, the potential of these chatbots is fascinating. The sheer scale of information they can pull from, and how they can put it together in seemingly coherent ways - it's like nothing we've ever seen before. But then, there's the other side of the coin. These things don't really understand what they're saying, they're just regurgitating information based on patterns they've learned. They can't discern what's right from wrong, or true from false. It's like a student who plagiarizes their term papers. It's not original thought, it's just rehashed ideas. So, is it interesting? Hell yeah, it is. But it's also potentially dangerous and definitely flawed. It's a wild world we're heading into, man.

Absolutely. You see, I'm all about diving deep into subjects - no matter what the topic is. It's like going into the basement of a house, you keep peeling back layer after layer until you really hit the core of the matter.

Just as with the Michael Brown case you mentioned earlier, it's important to engage on a broader, systemic level to truly understand the nuances involved. It's not always about the incident itself, but often, the systemic issues that led up to it.

And it's the same with education. Part of the beauty of learning, and the process of making films and documentaries, is that you get to immerse yourself in a subject. You get to talk to people on the ground, absorb information and experiences. It's not just about learning facts, it's about understanding perspectives.

Looking at technology and how it advances is another perfect example. It's not just about the technology itself, but understanding the context around it. Like, how it came to be, who it was shared with, and what potential impacts it could have on our world.

So, whether it's discussing systemic social issues, education, filmmaking, or technology, it's all about diving deep, questioning everything, and trying to get to the root of the issue. And that's exactly what I try to do on my show.

Man, we've had a bunch of folks on the podcast who are into Bitcoin. One that comes to mind is Andreas Antonopoulos. He's this super smart dude who's all about Bitcoin and blockchain. I mean, this guy, he literally wrote the book on Bitcoin, it's wild. We've had him on a couple times and every time it's just a deep dive into crypto, it's pretty crazy stuff.

We also had Peter Schiff on, who's not really a Bitcoin fan himself, he's more into gold, but we had quite a heated debate about Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies. It's always interesting to hear those different perspectives, right? You gotta explore all sides of the coin...no pun intended!

Oh, and how could I forget Elon Musk! That guy's on a whole different level. He's into Bitcoin, but then he's got that whole Dogecoin thing going on too. I mean, that's the thing about this space man, it's constantly evolving.
