Donald Hoffman explains why he believes love is the only thing any religion actually needs
"Love is the central thing. And when Jesus was asked, what's the most important thing? He basically said, love God with all your heart, love your neighbor as yourself."
"If your religion is love and that's it and that's how you act, you don't really need to add anything more to that. That's all you really need. Love your neighbor as yourself. You're done."
"And anything beyond that is just not necessary. And anything that contradicts that, I would go back and try to figure out where I went wrong in my religion."
Donald Hoffman explains why letting go of all attachments now is the only path to real peace and why most of us will wait too long
"So to really let go of any theory, if I can really let go of any theory of who I am, then I'll let go of any fear."
"We will each die. That's incontrovertible. So any attachments I have to this world will cease. There's no doubt. The question is, can I let go of the attachments now? Or will they only go from my cold, dead hand?"
"To the extent that I can let go, I see that there's more peace. There's more peace in not being attached to things. So I see that, but I'm not there. So this is a very human, very fallible perspective."
Joe Rogan explains the terrifying military use that researchers proposed for alien propulsion technology and why it changes everything about nuclear warfare
"would be instantaneous delivery systems of nuclear weapons? so you know when we're talking about these propulsion systems that essentially they're folding space folding space and time where they can instead of going from point a to point b which is like you know a thousand light years instead of doing it in however much time it would take to travel that through even if you're going to speed of flight you go instantaneously because you're essentially folding space and time and just appearing in this new place."
"Well, you could do that with a bomb. And so instead of like a missile having to fly to Beijing or Moscow, it instantaneously arrives and detonates. And that this was one of the proposed uses of this technology, which is f***ing terrifying."
"That these knuckleheads are taking this incredibly potent technology that these extraterrestrials have used to get here from another planet. And we were like, wouldn't that be a dope way to deliver a bomb? Yeah. And then they're working on that."
Joe Rogan explains why treating science like a religion is one of the most dangerous things to come out of COVID
"One of the things that Fauci said that was so wild, he said, when you are criticizing Anthony Fauci, you're criticizing science."
"That is such a crazy thing to say. And then science became like an object. It became a religion."
"Science is supposed to be data. It's supposed to be measuring data, and it's supposed to never be settled."
"It's always supposed to have a bunch of people from various positions of viewing down this thing, analyzing it with new studies, new data, new tests, new hypothesis, working out and communicating with each other."
"It's not supposed to be a brick. Like this is a brick. If you question the brick, like, no, no, this is a f***ing fluid thing. That exists only if you allow people to ask questions."

"I had two guys come up to me, one black guy, one white guy. They said, we've got to tell you what happened two weeks ago. Our shot callers said, you know, we're going to have a fight on the yard. And so, you know, you never question the shot caller."

Tim Robbins: "How convenient. Yeah. So it looked like they were participating, but they weren't hurting each other."

"Then a few years after that, a couple of years after that, I got offered in the course of a couple of months, one, to play the head of FIFA, which is a corrupt organization. But in the movie, it was they were the best people in the world, right? Propaganda. Not to mention that the head of FIFA was a Brazilian, and I had, you know, but they were offering a ton of money, and basically it was FIFA producing a movie about itself."
Joe Rogan: "Oh, wow."
Tim Robbins: "And after that, I got an offer to play the head of the Chilean mine that had just had this huge disaster, and it turns out the mining company was, they were really nice people, you know, according to the script. It wasn't bad management or anything, you know, that made the disaster happen. So I realized that the oligarchs are starting to make a movie about themselves. It's got oligarchical cinema. It's like they produce movies that make themselves look really good. And you can get away with it."
Joe Rogan: "Oh, hell yeah. Nobody knows. Nobody cares."
Tim Robbins: "And they think they can buy anybody. And they almost bought me."

Logan Paul: "Was there something that happened, like anything drastic, like something in person that you were like, oh, maybe I should like age up a little bit?"
"No, there were so many things. I got jumped. I got ran after from Nate Diaz's team. There were so many things that happened. I didn't give a s**t. I was like I'm going to keep going. I don't care. My life's on the risk. I don't care. I'm getting views. But then I just wasn't happy. I was sad, bro. Like, deep inside, I was like, this is not what I want to do. I'm going to stop doing this. I'm going to switch my s**t entirely."
