Joe Rogan - Social Media is Accelerating Society's Evolution

Right like and people are realizing there's certain things that you can do and certain things you can't do certain things We accept certain things we can't accept anymore and we're figuring it out and we're figuring it out in real time in a radical pace That's never existed before in human history where something that was acceptable just 10 15 years ago. It's completely unacceptable Now that's there's never been a time like that before never been a time in the entire world Since people started talking there's never been a time where change is taking place It's such a radical pace and you're a part of it and I'm a part of it and everyone is listening to this as a part Of it. We're all together in this and no one knows where the fuck it's going. I Love that you're you're saying that the reason all this is happening right now is because we are now We're just communicating at a more rapid pace. That's all it boils down to you're absolutely right It's a communication revolution. Yeah. Yeah, and if so if someone says, you know, hey you you what you said It doesn't make sense. Yeah. Yeah for sure. Well because I was gonna get it right No one's gonna get it right all the time. Like no one does know I'm not an Oracle. I'm a fucking human I was born in New Jersey But you are being held to that standard we all are now sure something in what's good there's good to that too Okay, the good is you realize like when you're responsible if you make a mistake and or you say something incorrect Or you say something mean you were just trying to be funny. It came out bad The the blowback lets you know, this is how people feel about that and it's Disproportionate because your signals disproportionate your ability to express yourself is disproportionate Yeah, so the blowback is gonna be disproportionate as well. So it feels awful, but that's just of an affirmation Just letting you know. Okay, this is not what and then sometimes people are completely wrong about like, you know White girls can't wear hoop earrings. It's cultural appropriation. There's not there's bad signals out there There's a lot of bad signals, you know where you're racist if you wear a kimono I just thought I'd wreck really dumb bad signals, but there's also a lot of Exchange and and it'll all work itself out. We just have to be really careful We don't lynch a lot of people along the way like that would that we don't get convinced that our ideas are 100% the way things should be and that we listen to all these various ideas Whether it's ideas about trans people or gay people or women or men or anybody You know, like it's it's like it's super important now that people think before they act and that they think before they cast judgment that we have to communicate because There's things are fucking flying at us like fish coming down a river and you're trying to catch them with your hands And there's just too many of them. Do you I mean you're broadcasting every single day for hours Do you say things sometimes that come back? I mean, I know you say things that come back to haunt you or you said this and that was wrong that you said that And this is why you're wrong. Do you do you ever catch yourself and go? Oh, yeah, I shouldn't have said that Yeah, all time. What do you do with that? Like that's like, whoops. I made a mistake. I misspoke right? But I'm not this I'm was yeah, good Not an oracle if you keep talking people go. Oh, I get it. Nikki's just a person that says dumb things sometimes Yeah, well, you don't mean to say dumb things but you're like being a human being it's just a flawed exercise Like we're super flawed and we're working with Language, which is like a really awkward way to express intent You know, it's awkward this just you sometimes the right is yeah Sometimes the right words not there for you and you use a lot of likes and um, so it's like um, like uh, like uh And people like like what? People are listening. They're on the fucking stair climber and they go you shut the fuck up You talk too much you complain too much and you know their signal like they're mad that they don't have a signal So they're fucking screaming at you for your flawed signal. You have a responsibility, you know, there's a there's a lot going on
