Joe Rogan: Twitter is Going to Be Like Blockbuster Video

You're not better than other people because you think a certain way. There's so many people that are like, I'm right obviously and you're wrong obviously and it's like that's not how things work. And with all the canceling, all the Twitter stuff, they're going like down this line of which now we've given them with Twitter. You're just giving people a transcript of like all the shit you've said over the years. But it's like you're expected to have this perfect record. Like you're never supposed to. We're flood humans. That's how we learn. That's how we learn. That's how we grow. We learn, we fuck up, we fail, we get back up and there's no room for that anymore. But it's also, here's the thing, like why are you spending so much time complaining about other people all day? I'll tell you why because you're not healthy. That's right. Like you're not doing smart things. If I look at your Twitter timeline and I'm seeing tweets 12 hours a day, you're a crazy person. You might not realize you're a crazy person. Do you think there'll be a day where we will look back and go, remember when anyone could get on Twitter at any time? You think there's going to be like smoking? There's going to be like restrictions. I think Twitter is going to be like Blockbuster video. I think we're going to look back. Remember when we used to communicate through Twitter? Like oh my God, it was so toxic. Everybody was so mean. We're going to hit some new thing next that's going to allow people to read each other's minds or Elon Musk's Neuralink, which he's talking about communicating with no words. We're going to hit that and it's going to make this seem like nonsense. Because what we're lacking in, this is one of the things in that book, Irresistible, there's no empathy in these conversations. And that's the big part of the problem. It's like you don't see the people. You don't feel their pain. So you can say horrible shit to them. It's the vast majority of the way people are communicating. Like a lot of people. It's the vast majority of their communication is text messages and tweets. And none of it is person to person. These kids are arguing with each other through texts because they don't want to look at each other and talk like human beings. Ironically. That's the only way you develop and grow as a person. That's the only way you develop and grow as a person.
