@@Quickturealeyes From what I've seen most scholars believe it is the Rubus sanctus plant indeed, but not the variant that "burns" which is the vapour, called "Dictamnus albus".

A rough quote ish in the constitution reads like if men were governed by angles we would have no need of these regulations but as we are governed by men so- Bad quote. Good idea.
@alikzandergreata2115 it's not just the angels as messengers but the central figure and it's avatar constructing divine influence but those in charge of the rules are prone to abuse of power through corruption of negative influences of repressed thoughts
i have mad respect for how they can have an ACTUAL DISCUSSION on completely contrasting viewpoints... if only this type of mutual respect was more commonplace between two parties... you can't even disagree with someone nowadays without going into extreme territories
The fact that our children and even us where fed their whole lives fluoride ( which is a by product of making aluminum) that turns our pineal gland in our brain into scar tissue says something cuz it's also believed that our imagination and such stems from the pineal glad but we are fed shit all the time to kill it...
The more I listen to Brett the more I realize that Eric is the smart one in the family. Joe's 100% right about this. Brent didn't even consider the cognitive dissonance that comes into play when a society gets brainwashed for generations.
The notion that society as a whole has been brainwashed because of a belief system that they adhere to, because that belief system has stood the test of time due to its utility, is a rather myopic opinion. To right off all of religion to "brainwashing" seems to me, is far more of a stretch to believe, rather than believing or understanding that religions, regardless of whether or not they were truly "divine", had profound utility. And if you have to resort to an ad hominem attack (basically calling Brett Weinstein, of all people, dumb) in an attempt to discredit them (and ipso facto their opinion(s)), then you must not be very confident in your opposition. Which begs the question... Why not? Talk about cognitive dissonance...
Of course its only brainwashing when its ideas you don't approve of, right? You don't think atheists exhibit cognitive dissonance? They're all just perfectly rational people? Don't assume that you have all the answers and if everyone just followed your morals, ethics and ideas, the world would be a perfect place. Most people, even atheists, appear to be predisposed to some sort of spirituality, and if that's the case, then they will fill that void with something.
joe is absolutely and clearly in the wrong here. "i think all ideology's are cults" is a hilariously ignorant we're all, always, all the time, subject to ideology. there are fundamental and absurd assumptions underlying all of our thought processess and actions. im not a theoretical physicist or scientist, but i do understand that our entire basis of science and knowledge is based on fundamental assumptions (i think its stuff like we assume passage of time or motion idk). at the end of the road we're all subject to ideology wether its heavens gate, catholicism, mormonism, capitalism, communism. he's stuck in semantics there is a purpose to differentiating religions and cults im an atheist too i think a great deal of catholic practices are much more reflective of a cult than a religion, but regardless its a significant and important distinction.
Ahhh Joe, born and raised Mormon, and I'm right there with you about all religions being cults. I looked up cult and it's a group of people with similar belief or behavior. Like the " Red Hat Ladies or the girl scouts". Mostly harmless, as Douglas Addams liked to say. I would like the reference for -Mormons get a planet- 70 years around the Mormon church and I've never heard that one anywhere except GoogleGossip. Along with a lot of equally funny ideas that other lifelong Mormons never heard of either. I love your podcast. Live long and keep the conversations growing.
@@joshua.snyder I grew up lds as well. Yes it’s a cult, but I think it wears that label to an unfair degree compared to all the other crazy Christian sects.
I think the planet is more assumed because you can become like God. I'm sure a general authority or apostle mentioned it some time in history but that doesn't make it doctrine necessarily, although most members would see it that way. But it is annoying how he always says that. Mormons probably technically believe it but he makes it sound like they're preaching it every Sunday or something.
@@Horsethief666do you know that this person wasn’t preached that on a near constant basis? Genuine question. Not sure how sects of LDS work. (Also why did we have LDS commercials constantly as kids? I was born in the 1980s) anyone? Bueler?
Ok tell me where is the line drawn between a cult and an organization..where please tell me..I respect joes mind hes highly intelligent but hes off on this one...David coresh of the branch davidians in Waco was a cult , marshal aplewhite of heavens gate that was a cult .. Catholicism , and the girl scouts are not cults..faith and religion is a touchy subject for joe so I expect his statements on this .
i think they’re the same thing. by definition a religion is a cult but just because it’s a cult doesn’t mean it’s a bad thing. there’s a stigma to that word that if you call something a cult it automatically means people gathering around in black robes and sacrificing babies to the dark lord. a cult just means a group of people who worship something/someone it doesn’t always have to be malicious.
This is a perfect example of 2 adults, having a discussion on something they have different views on, but are able to discuss them, be open minded, and actually listen to each other.
It's kind of interesting, I have noticed I can have a very strong disagreement with another Republican / conservative / libertarian and we can very civilly articulate our arguments back and forth. On the other hand, trying to have a similar argument / discussion with a leftist is usually impossible. They will usually not argue facts and specific cases, but will argue only generalities and emotions. When they do use facts or figures it's very Cherry picked and misleading. A good example of this was yesterday a discussion on equal pay for women. The leftist kept arguing the statistics that annual salaries for women are less than men, but would totally ignore how this statistic does a not reflect the amount of hours of worked or the type of work being done. So the statistic they want to use compares annual pay for a part-time McDonald's worker with a 60 hour a week oilfield worker.
I have narcolepsy which I didn't develop which is most common but have had it my whole life. As a narcoleptic we fall straight into REM and may be in REM sleep for (unmedicated which I was until 24) anything between 16-20 odd hours a day. I find it so interesting what you are saying about the production of DMT in REM 🤯 With this new info in mind, it could explain the hypnogogic hallucinations that occurs daily ( unmedicated ) along with other strange sleep phenomenon which accompanies the condition.
Yeah....unless he actually cares about it and it has something to do with him....then he’s VERY emotional and won’t listen and argues to death....just listen to the Steven Crowder podcast when Joe brought up weed....he wouldn’t listen to any point Steven had and resorted to raising his voice to the point of yelling over him and not listening, and started calling him a bitch and a pussy.
Daniel Ortega I’m just saying. I absolutely freaking love Joe and his podcasts, I listen to at LEAST one of his podcasts or a clip once a day, but this is the truth. When it comes to his weed, there are many many podcasts where as soon as his weed is brought up most if not all of his ability to listen or have a discussion goes out the window. He just seems to lock down and plug his ears and goes on his same spiel he does in every single podcast when it’s brought up. I’m just saying this is his one weakness in his podcasts. But I still love Joe and love his podcasts and discussions.
@@aj200415 yeah that's an unfortunate consequence, i wouldn't assume but it's very similar to the way an addict will defend their behaviour to the bitter end, i'm big into weed and i believe its a very positive drug, less dangerous than smoking cigarettes or drinking alcohol, but it definitely has an addictive effect just like any behaviour, you can go through heavy withdrawal's which are not fun, so i think he feels attacked when people criticise weed because it's basically his "medication", it's also reflective of his passion for the topic, just like if i said your favourite movie or band sucks ass, you'd most likely jump straight to defending it with emotion because it has that emotional connection in your brain, obviously no one knows but Joe himself but he could do better to try and remain calm and centred. Edit: Joe is also high as fuck in the Crowder interview so that would definitely affect his inhibitions.
When I had DMT, i definitely wasn't in a familiar place or a place I'd been in any dreams prior to the experience and haven't seen anything close since having DMT. It was probably the most astonishing or surprising thing I've ever experienced. I didn't know our brains had the capacity to create such experiences. I'm still debatable whether i created the illusions and conversations with these entities or whether some other force implanted them in my brain. There was definitely some type of element of leaving my physical body vulnerable, as i broke on to the other side, which would seem the only way of infiltrating my thought process. I've done skydiving, Bungy jumping, scuba diving etc and this experience is right up there with the best of them. We fear what we don't know or understand...i was scared shitless, as i was in a place i didn't know or understand, despite preparing myself to be entering another realm and potentially visiting little people and having conversations with them, nothing can prepare you for this experience, because when it happens...i was like "no f@#ing way, i simply can't believe it" I don't recommend asking what's this week's tatts lotto are going to be, didn't end well with me😢
Can you clarify what you mean in the last sentence? What didn’t end well? I love reading about ppls experience with DMT. Fascinating that we naturally produce this chemical, dubbed the “God molecule”-I mean? That’s no accident. I know the stories are so vulnerable, terrifying, but expansive: “arrive without traveling” ❤
@@Kate82261 I felt like they we're saying "here we are showing you the wonders of the universe, and your asking for lottery numbers?"

@@Kate82261 I was told prior to trying it that I might see little elves, so my brains like "okay cool, noted" So whilst in this realm with what reminded me of the little Oompa Loompa's from Charlie and the chocolate factory, all wearing little white gloves and acting childish, I'm wondering where are these coming from? Me? Or something else?
@@Kate82261 The weirdest thing I felt was their jealousy, they were extremely jealous, and I think they were jealous of my curiosity, the fact that I didn't understand the whole universe.

@@Kate82261 When the "trip/experience" was coming to an end, they waved hysterically saying "come back soon, don't forget about us, make sure you come and visit us again" all in a childish manner. So I thought it was weird that they knew it was coming to an end my trip somewhere.
See, this is why I like Joe. He can disagree with me and give good evidence on why he could be right and do it without insulting me. And, at the same time, if I were to drop evidence on him to help prove my side of the debate, he takes it in without assuming I'm insulting him. And considers my debating points and applies them going forward. It's that last part that really sets him apart. He actually considers the debating points of the people that disagree with him and sometimes forms a new opinion based on things he's learned. And this causes me to respect his opinion whether I agree or not. For that, I applaud you, Mr Joe Rogan. Keep doing what you do
What I find most amazing about Joe Rogan is his constant interest and respect of the guest’s opinions even when he obviously does not agree at all. He stays calm and wants to hear more of an opposing opinion. His skills are probably under appreciated by most of the public.
@@ResidentRaccoon the good one where the interviewer is better than most in the world and not worried about some people’s sensitivities about a broken religion that to many sheep follow and support blindly.
The only problem i have with any organized way of thinking is because it so easily slips into the realm of "I'm right, you're wrong and thats that." Society as whole would better if we were more willing to learn from those with opposing views
He says religions that have stood the test of time must have had a significant meaning to people to do so...I imagine fear of being burnt or imprisoned for life for believing in anything else might have had something to do with it's staying power as well.
he didnt have a point, he said cults are supernatural beliefs used to exploit people, yet doesnt acknowledge either scientology or catholicism are cults, yet they both are unproven supernatural beliefs, and are used to exploit people for resources
@@steampunk_cat5592 he did have a point though, he said that those institutions havent negativity impacted their massive amounts of followers so the word "cult" isnt a correct term. I understand where you're coming from but I agree that cult isnt the right terminology.
Mitchell Mahurin that depends on what your goals are. Ofcourse if your book says what your doing is good, you’ll think your doing good. This is where joes question comes up again. “Is it for the good of the people who are apart of the plan or is it for the plan itself.” And no matter how much Christianity touts its humanity card so much, ultimately your nothing if you don’t put god above all else. As soon as you introduce god and the need to adore him you immediately become a cult. You can disagree, but why would you want to willingly be incorrect?
Catholicism is a perversion of Christianity. It was a way for the government at the time to gain control of people. A true Christian can see the fallacies of the catholic religion. God/the bible has clear messages that never change. Under the catholic religion, it's whatever suits the powers that be. That's why people get divisive about the pope because some argue that he should stick to what the bible says, and others are ok with him changing the rules to appease the masses. Under Christianity, the rules are the rules, set by God/Jesus, and there's no deviating from them. Under Catholicism, the pope can change them in order to keep people going to church (for revenue). I've talked to priests whom purposely withhold information from their followers because they're afraid they'll stop going to church. Effectively giving them feel good-misinformation for the sake of continuing to get offerings from them. When for Christians, the truth is far more important than money/fame/status or even control. Christianity is about self control and having fellowship with Christ/God for our salvation, where as Catholicism is about following the church with pseudo-Christian messages. I used to be catholic until I read the bible and realized how far off Catholicism went from the original messages. Which is one of redemption and salvation rather than condemnation.
@@jackburton3212 your so correct altough i think its more nefarious than that. I believe the popes to be agent of evil and their cults to be synagogues of Satan. One thing well agree on is their definetley NOT Christian. Christians believe in indiviuals connection the Christ. Catholics believe that the pope connects them and without his approval they cannot be saved. A literal quote from 2013 "you cannot have an individual connection to jesus christ, only i can forgive your sins" pope benedict xvi and he goes on to say more satanic and anti christian things.
according to his line of thinking, there is no religion, that They are all cults. I think biggest difference is that in Cults, they try to control your life, make you behave with negative reinforcement, try to manipulate you into buying into their bs. With religion it is usually texts that has stories that has parallels with life and they just resonate with your own experiences and the priests of those religions want to share you their story so you'd know more than you did yesterday, so you can articulate what you've been experiencing and make those choises consciously, but otherwise leave everything up to you. There is no hell, no punishment, nothing except things we all universally agree to obey. This ofc does not change the fact that human aspect of all belief systems is as stable as the humans that are in it. It does not mean religion itself is not real, or bs, its just their human representitives have failed them.

Watching this- because I'm tripping. And I can confirm that I'm experiencing something my conscience calls God and that moses may have as well as an explanation of him truthfully thinking the 10 commandments were from God.
@@aguspuig6615 That or lying about the source of his rules to make them more authoritative. Could have been either, but there were traditions with psychedelics and them showing you God back then. Either way, from the success of the religion, I'd say those rules created a fair bit of social stability, so the lying option could be viewed as a white lie.
Firstly, a conspiracy is a crime. A real crime you can be charged with. To call something a conspiracy is to call it real. The crime of conspiracy is when 2 or more people secretly plan/plot an illegal/harmful act. Moses was one person, therefore could not have been a conspiracy so it's just a theory/speculation/conjecture.
And Christians believe that people who leave their religion will burn in hell. That may not be as harsh as killing someone like they do in Islam, but it is still a problem and makes Christianity look like a cult.
@@temporarymomentary I agree. But it is a free country. Also, the creator is dead. You have the right to beliefs. Just don't chop off heads. lol. It is legal to believe whatever you want. Just don't hurt people.
When I did DMT I saw Ganesha staring at me behind palm leaves. I never even thought about Ganesha like that before this experience and it was crazy how this Energy manifested itself in my trip
Really interesting chat :) Remember that Moses, if he is in fact a historic figure - would have spent several years as "the Pharoah's son". Geting educated by the best of the best Egyption priests ( and a variety of artists / artisans etc). Not too far fetched to believe that he knew which bushes / barks / roots / cacti to chew for "inspiration".
I think had Moses had a DMT experience on the mountain, then came down to find people worshipping a golden calf, he would not have reacted in anger. It would have just seemed to be a continuation of the DMT experience.
@@classicrocklover5615 Joe's explanation of Moses experience was the worst I've ever heard. I'd have to be really high to find it insightful or believable.

This is why I like him. He doesn't admit it but he's a smart guy. If he a single passion for one thing and stuck to that only he couldve easily been a great researcher. I see him like. He knows a little about a bunch of things and kind of find ways to intertwine them.
You just blew my mind joe 😮 if you had my genetics, my life, my body, everything my experiences etc you’ll be right where I’m at because we’re all the same and separation is an illusion…That makes sense! I think intuitively I knew that, but what a great way of explaining it.
@Boricua 787 its Catholicism. If you believe in the teachings then you are a Catholic. You took an L with your comment but who cares, we learn something new everyday.
It was only a hard conversation for one guy .. the one who was very inconsistent on his interpretation of facts and had to constantly figure out mid conversation why his logic did apply to one religion or cult but not another. That's why he had a hard time ! Joe was very clear and had facts to back up everything he said ready to go with no bullshit backtracking like the other guy
Of course he's either right or wrong.. He's making a statement claiming that the religious institutions in place are there because they work, and only made it because they make society better, stronger, and less corrupt, including the need to keep itself from becoming corrupt. Anyone that has studied the history of the Catholic Church especially should be able to provide enough examples from a period of 19 centuries on why that is complete bullshit. He also talks about priests passing down their genetics through their influence over their flock and how they effect the outcome of their lives, which doesn't make any sense. Genes aren't an intellectual concept, its a part of us physically, its why we have the characteristics we have like eye and hair color, and even if we are more susceptible to various diseases and are passed down from our parents, the reason why people often look like their parents. The reason why Christianity is so widespread and ingrained, especially in the Western world is due to the fact that for around 1000 years or so, if you were a pagan and lived within marching distance of a Christian population large enough to put together an army there was a good chance you would be invaded, and if you didn't convert you would be executed in some of the most cruel, horrifying, and disgusting methods I've ever heard of, and I've studied war for years.. Claiming that there have been rules and structure put in place to stop corruption, to keep priests celibate, and prevent them from getting rich are just ignorant and how he claims they have been so insightful, otherwise other groups that think the same as they do without the mistake would gain influence.. He must not ever fact check his own thoughts, or do any research. There are thousands of denominations of Christianity now, Catholics and Protestants have been warring and killing each other up until just a few decades ago and now they have to put up walls to keep each other separate. Meanwhile there ARE Catholic priests that are married, priests in Africa are disgustingly corrupt and do great harm to their own flock while the Vatican seems that they couldn't care less, Bishops are living in million dollar apartments with their art alone worth tens of millions using the church bank to hide their wealth and they don't seem to do any good for society. When they do implement change, its often long after others have done so and they join the procession at the tail end and as Mark Twain pointed out, never forget to take credit for the change in the first place. They, like the Bible were pro-slavery, until most of the world had outlawed it, they were very anti-gay and responsible for the UK especially keeping homosexuality illegal until the 1950s, but of course now like to act as if they are tolerant, and that even gays are God's children. I could probably fill a book just explaining how wrong this guy is when it comes to the Catholic Church, and several others with the other cults out there. The definition, being "a group of people having religious beliefs or practices regarded by others as strange or sinister." easily meets the definition that most would probably agree with. The main reason why the cult of Christianity survived till now is because its always been about power over belief, if they stuck to their beliefs and tried to preach and practice the religion as its supposed to be practiced as the Bible commands, and what was far closer to being actual Christianity until the enlightenment civilized it a bit there would either be far less Catholics, or the world would be a far more horrible place to live in. Society isn't doing good because of these institutions, they are thriving despite them.
That's why I love Bret Weinstein. He's not afraid to engage, and he doesn't back down when he believes something is wrong. Weinstein for President 2020!
Joe ...Isn't wanting everyone to do DMT the start of a cult/religion?. DMT isn't for everyone..Joe's church of DMT. I was raised in the Catholic Church people changed because they were terrified they were going to go burn in hell.
@@gaylewatkins6781 I think he’s specifically said it’s not for everyone and there’s some people that should stay away from drugs completely but some people that could benefit. He’s definitely made jokes. But.. that’s his job.
When defending what they like, people love to resource to fallacies like "oh, if it wasn't great it wouldn't have existed for so long" or "the dictionary definition of that word doesn't apply to what I like, because...reasons." Congrats to Joe for not rolling his eyes, because the urge must've been unbearable.
Audrey Mota oh for sure, but the way he structured his argument, this was the correct response even though he does clarify that he finds Scientology troublesome
Any cult that you could leave, can be left quite easily as well. It's in the eye of the beholder at that point, or on to the sole purpose, of what the individual really needs to do.
I’ve learned more from Joe Rogans podcast then I did in 18 years of being in the public school system and one semester of community college God bless you Joe Keep preaching the truth
It's only rough if you're trying to come to some type of logical peaceful understanding. It's easy if you don't give a fuck about logic truth and understanding then you can just throw out labels and hateful rhetoric at anyone who disagrees with you.
I've been involved in a number of cults, both as a leader and a follower. You have more fun as a follower, but you make more money as a leader. -Creed Bratton
@CALEB EPPLEY Yes, I was getting annoyed at that. Wished he would just shut up an let hom finnish a sentence. I would have been getting frustrated if I was him but to his credit he just went with the flow
There was no brilliant defense of his argument. "It's old" doesn't address the question of whether it is a cult. Catholicism does meet the definition. And he makes multiple assertions backed by logical fallacies. Lastly Joe is still running a podcast and he will break tension or try to transition to another topic by saying silly shit.
This whole talk made me feel very uncomfortable but somehow that feels like a good thing? Very interesting topic, I like this guy I’m going to look into more of his stuff.
I don’t agree w many of Rogans views on certain social issues (trans community & gender identity etc) but god damn it does he do a Great Job as an interviewer. He is wonderful at moving an interview in the right direction but also takes things to different places that open up new debates & topics. Moreover lol, his range of people on his podcast are very eclectic, which I love.
Vincent Serafini he is highly open minded and thoughtful about the topic where as joe is not. Joes mind is made up so it’s black and white for him. The other man is looking to fully understand these systems and sees many colors.
@@brandonguthrie8122 Thats because Weinstein is a wishy washy little bitch that is always afraid of offending anyone. He's been that way since Evergreen.

It's not that Weinstein is wishy washy, he's an academic, Joe is a comedian. Joe can say whatever he wants with hardly any backlash, in this case, since he was raised Catholic, he can get away with it entirely. Weinstein can't.
My girlfriend who is very religious always tries to talk to me about religion. And I as an agnostic, believe that religion in an individualistic sense is extremely powerful and in most cases positive, but in a collective sense it is very dangerous. When a person is able to grieve with the thought that their loved one will ascend to heaven and their soul continues to live on is an extremely powerful and positive belief, but when her congregation becomes a popularity contest and every little thing anyone in the congregation does gets talked about (mostly in a negative sense) and possibly get ostracized by your so called family because of how tight knit they are. Even though they're not suppose to be judgemental they can be the most judgemental and cruel people I know. I know this isn't always the case but it is what I have viewed.
@@jadenswitalski all the time. Pretty hypocritical people. I mean I judge people, I try not to but at least I'm not vowing an oath and then breaking that oath like it's my job
You're all wrong!!! I've experienced enlightenment multiple times in my life. Agnostic is also a cult so do not be misguided in the logic that because the belief set in the worship on sience is void of a magic god or alien lifeform. It functions exactly as the so called cult does, you must except the belief set or Darwin and other theoretical insights including the big bang theory. So always remember and remain open minded to the concept that DMT slowly trying to guide us along. The methods do change and all cognitive mind's are not wired the same, some people need a structure based way of life, other's thrive on structuring the lives of others. As long as the ladder man in the last sentence is providing a DMT based interpretation that benefits the person adhering to the structure it's ok. It's true that the ladder can be occupied by an unwholesome person who exploit, manipulate and so on. It's difficult to convince people to believe they are involved in something proven to be a lie when every night you lay down, you have the ability to be subjected to DMT brain activity wether it be mild in nature or non eventful hense easily disregarded or extremely potent either pleasant or in the form of an intense nightmare. When you're subjected to that brain function from birth it's difficult to know what waking interpretation of this existence really is. We are all just hallucinating together during the day trying to make sense of biological life and resource management, yet at night we all drift into a singular realm of DMT and experience vividly mind bending perceptions that no other human had other then you. We should be vary carful with common sense and alter all belief set's over time to adopt what sience has shown us. Yet like I say my fellow human friends, sience is a cult, wether good or bad we all need to agree no belief set is void of insanity. It's a core function of are brain.
@@beastclips4642 bro I can assure you I'm not associated with a cult. I came to terms of my agnostic beliefs on my own. I get what your saying, and im not saying you're wrong. I'm also saying no one who believes in God is wrong. I truly do not know what lies beyond this world and that's fine. I'm not really talking about anything you brought up. All I'm saying is I respect religion when it allows people to grieve when a loved one dies with the thought they aren't fully gone since they go to an afterlife, or when times get hard and they ask God for guidance and believe guidance will come. But when religion is in a collective sense I have problems with it. That's all I'm really saying. I'm not putting down any one religion, I'm not saying me being agnostic is right, I don't know what is right, and nobody else does either, all we have is beliefs, and I believe if I don't know for sure then I can't act as if a God exists. That's it.
I was able to experience discussions like this with a coworker a long time ago. He was from Canada. We shared an office space and periodically we would have political discussions. We would always present the devil's advocate to each other on different stories. We were always able to present our points of view in a mature way, and at the end of the discussion we would agree to disagree in a friendly manner, and that was always the end of that particular topic. We never once got in a heated argument, and always recognized each others point of view in a mature way.
I had to do that with a very close friend in college who I met on day 1 & became fast friends… a year & a half goes by when I learn his political beliefs which I genuinely believed was a joke, esp given his sense of humor, but no he was serious. At first I was flustered acting on impulse, and it didn’t go well. This bothered me, I actually felt guilty & I broached the topic later on at a different angle, mature, respectful, open minded, researched, and conversing to let a person finish listening to what they really said, to drastically different result. That’s when I learned how to agree to disagree because I had a personally vested interest.
@@esk8er900 That's great. What I learned was that we both came from different backgrounds, and upbringing so we could definitely have different views. It was very interesting for sure.
Moses being on DMT just might be the most Joe Rogan topic ever

Are you serious? Joe was constantly throwing the guy off track at every point he was trying to make
@@s0bad he does that constantly.
The more I listen to Brett the more I realize that Eric is the smart one in the family. Joe's 100% right about this. Brent didn't even consider the cognitive dissonance that comes into play when a society gets brainwashed for generations.
The notion that society as a whole has been brainwashed because of a belief system that they adhere to, because that belief system has stood the test of time due to its utility, is a rather myopic opinion. To right off all of religion to "brainwashing" seems to me, is far more of a stretch to believe, rather than believing or understanding that religions, regardless of whether or not they were truly "divine", had profound utility.
And if you have to resort to an ad hominem attack (basically calling Brett Weinstein, of all people, dumb) in an attempt to discredit them (and ipso facto their opinion(s)), then you must not be very confident in your opposition. Which begs the question... Why not? Talk about cognitive dissonance...
Of course its only brainwashing when its ideas you don't approve of, right? You don't think atheists exhibit cognitive dissonance? They're all just perfectly rational people? Don't assume that you have all the answers and if everyone just followed your morals, ethics and ideas, the world would be a perfect place. Most people, even atheists, appear to be predisposed to some sort of spirituality, and if that's the case, then they will fill that void with something.
😂😂 y'all feel pretty smart when you use words like fallacy and dissonance
joe is absolutely and clearly in the wrong here. "i think all ideology's are cults" is a hilariously ignorant we're all, always, all the time, subject to ideology. there are fundamental and absurd assumptions underlying all of our thought processess and actions. im not a theoretical physicist or scientist, but i do understand that our entire basis of science and knowledge is based on fundamental assumptions (i think its stuff like we assume passage of time or motion idk). at the end of the road we're all subject to ideology wether its heavens gate, catholicism, mormonism, capitalism, communism. he's stuck in semantics there is a purpose to differentiating religions and cults im an atheist too i think a great deal of catholic practices are much more reflective of a cult than a religion, but regardless its a significant and important distinction.
Ahhh Joe, born and raised Mormon, and I'm right there with you about all religions being cults. I looked up cult and it's a group of people with similar belief or behavior. Like the " Red Hat Ladies or the girl scouts". Mostly harmless, as Douglas Addams liked to say. I would like the reference for -Mormons get a planet- 70 years around the Mormon church and I've never heard that one anywhere except GoogleGossip. Along with a lot of equally funny ideas that other lifelong Mormons never heard of either. I love your podcast. Live long and keep the conversations growing.
Yep, grew up active LdS...we're a cult.
@@joshua.snyder I grew up lds as well. Yes it’s a cult, but I think it wears that label to an unfair degree compared to all the other crazy Christian sects.
I think the planet is more assumed because you can become like God. I'm sure a general authority or apostle mentioned it some time in history but that doesn't make it doctrine necessarily, although most members would see it that way. But it is annoying how he always says that. Mormons probably technically believe it but he makes it sound like they're preaching it every Sunday or something.
@@Horsethief666do you know that this person wasn’t preached that on a near constant basis? Genuine question. Not sure how sects of LDS work. (Also why did we have LDS commercials constantly as kids? I was born in the 1980s) anyone? Bueler?
Ok tell me where is the line drawn between a cult and an organization..where please tell me..I respect joes mind hes highly intelligent but hes off on this one...David coresh of the branch davidians in Waco was a cult , marshal aplewhite of heavens gate that was a cult ..

i think they’re the same thing. by definition a religion is a cult but just because it’s a cult doesn’t mean it’s a bad thing. there’s a stigma to that word that if you call something a cult it automatically means people gathering around in black robes and sacrificing babies to the dark lord. a cult just means a group of people who worship something/someone it doesn’t always have to be malicious.
I have a feeling you are a cult leader.

It's pretty rare to see this in this "Cancel Culture" era.
It's kind of interesting, I have noticed I can have a very strong disagreement with another Republican / conservative / libertarian and we can very civilly articulate our arguments back and forth. On the other hand, trying to have a similar argument / discussion with a leftist is usually impossible. They will usually not argue facts and specific cases, but will argue only generalities and emotions. When they do use facts or figures it's very Cherry picked and misleading. A good example of this was yesterday a discussion on equal pay for women. The leftist kept arguing the statistics that annual salaries for women are less than men, but would totally ignore how this statistic does a not reflect the amount of hours of worked or the type of work being done. So the statistic they want to use compares annual pay for a part-time McDonald's worker with a 60 hour a week oilfield worker.

I have narcolepsy which I didn't develop which is most common but have had it my whole life. As a narcoleptic we fall straight into REM and may be in REM sleep for (unmedicated which I was until 24) anything between 16-20 odd hours a day. I find it so interesting what you are saying about the production of DMT in REM 🤯 With this new info in mind, it could explain the hypnogogic hallucinations that occurs daily ( unmedicated ) along with other strange sleep phenomenon which accompanies the condition.
He understands how to disagree and not be emotional about it
Yeah....unless he actually cares about it and it has something to do with him....then he’s VERY emotional and won’t listen and argues to death....just listen to the Steven Crowder podcast when Joe brought up weed....he wouldn’t listen to any point Steven had and resorted to raising his voice to the point of yelling over him and not listening, and started calling him a bitch and a pussy.

When it comes to his weed, there are many many podcasts where as soon as his weed is brought up most if not all of his ability to listen or have a discussion goes out the window. He just seems to lock down and plug his ears and goes on his same spiel he does in every single podcast when it’s brought up. I’m just saying this is his one weakness in his podcasts. But I still love Joe and love his podcasts and discussions.
@@aj200415 ok
@@aj200415 yeah that's an unfortunate consequence, i wouldn't assume but it's very similar to the way an addict will defend their behaviour to the bitter end, i'm big into weed and i believe its a very positive drug, less dangerous than smoking cigarettes or drinking alcohol, but it definitely has an addictive effect just like any behaviour, you can go through heavy withdrawal's which are not fun, so i think he feels attacked when people criticise weed because it's basically his "medication", it's also reflective of his passion for the topic, just like if i said your favourite movie or band sucks ass, you'd most likely jump straight to defending it with emotion because it has that emotional connection in your brain, obviously no one knows but Joe himself but he could do better to try and remain calm and centred.
Edit: Joe is also high as fuck in the Crowder interview so that would definitely affect his inhibitions.

When I had DMT, i definitely wasn't in a familiar place or a place I'd been in any dreams prior to the experience and haven't seen anything close since having DMT.
It was probably the most astonishing or surprising thing I've ever experienced. I didn't know our brains had the capacity to create such experiences. I'm still debatable whether i created the illusions and conversations with these entities or whether some other force implanted them in my brain. There was definitely some type of element of leaving my physical body vulnerable, as i broke on to the other side, which would seem the only way of infiltrating my thought process.
I've done skydiving, Bungy jumping, scuba diving etc and this experience is right up there with the best of them. We fear what we don't know or understand...i was scared shitless, as i was in a place i didn't know or understand, despite preparing myself to be entering another realm and potentially visiting little people and having conversations with them, nothing can prepare you for this experience, because when it happens...i was like "no f@#ing way, i simply can't believe it"

See, this is why I like Joe. He can disagree with me and give good evidence on why he could be right and do it without insulting me.
And, at the same time, if I were to drop evidence on him to help prove my side of the debate, he takes it in without assuming I'm insulting him.
And considers my debating points and applies them going forward.
It's that last part that really sets him apart. He actually considers the debating points of the people that disagree with him and sometimes forms a new opinion based on things he's learned. And this causes me to respect his opinion whether I agree or not.

He says religions that have stood the test of time must have had a significant meaning to people to do so...I imagine fear of being burnt or imprisoned for life for believing in anything else might have had something to do with it's staying power as well.

@Zayne simard moore i FOR SURE know its a cult i feel sorry fpr those trapped into worshipping satin
Catholicism is a perversion of Christianity. It was a way for the government at the time to gain control of people.
A true Christian can see the fallacies of the catholic religion. God/the bible has clear messages that never change. Under the catholic religion, it's whatever suits the powers that be. That's why people get divisive about the pope because some argue that he should stick to what the bible says, and others are ok with him changing the rules to appease the masses.
Under Christianity, the rules are the rules, set by God/Jesus, and there's no deviating from them. Under Catholicism, the pope can change them in order to keep people going to church (for revenue).
I've talked to priests whom purposely withhold information from their followers because they're afraid they'll stop going to church. Effectively giving them feel good-misinformation for the sake of continuing to get offerings from them. When for Christians, the truth is far more important than money/fame/status or even control.
Christianity is about self control and having fellowship with Christ/God for our salvation, where as Catholicism is about following the church with pseudo-Christian messages.
I used to be catholic until I read the bible and realized how far off Catholicism went from the original messages. Which is one of redemption and salvation rather than condemnation.
@@jackburton3212 your so correct altough i think its more nefarious than that. I believe the popes to be agent of evil and their cults to be synagogues of Satan.
One thing well agree on is their definetley NOT Christian. Christians believe in indiviuals connection the Christ. Catholics believe that the pope connects them and without his approval they cannot be saved. A literal quote from 2013 "you cannot have an individual connection to jesus christ, only i can forgive your sins" pope benedict xvi and he goes on to say more satanic and anti christian things.
according to his line of thinking, there is no religion, that They are all cults. I think biggest difference is that in Cults, they try to control your life, make you behave with negative reinforcement, try to manipulate you into buying into their bs. With religion it is usually texts that has stories that has parallels with life and they just resonate with your own experiences and the priests of those religions want to share you their story so you'd know more than you did yesterday, so you can articulate what you've been experiencing and make those choises consciously, but otherwise leave everything up to you. There is no hell, no punishment, nothing except things we all universally agree to obey. This ofc does not change the fact that human aspect of all belief systems is as stable as the humans that are in it. It does not mean religion itself is not real, or bs, its just their human representitives have failed them.

That's why he had a hard time ! Joe was very clear and had facts to back up everything he said ready to go with no bullshit backtracking like the other guy
Yeah, he definitely took the short end of the debating stick.
Of course he's either right or wrong.. He's making a statement claiming that the religious institutions in place are there because they work, and only made it because they make society better, stronger, and less corrupt, including the need to keep itself from becoming corrupt. Anyone that has studied the history of the Catholic Church especially should be able to provide enough examples from a period of 19 centuries on why that is complete bullshit.
He also talks about priests passing down their genetics through their influence over their flock and how they effect the outcome of their lives, which doesn't make any sense. Genes aren't an intellectual concept, its a part of us physically, its why we have the characteristics we have like eye and hair color, and even if we are more susceptible to various diseases and are passed down from our parents, the reason why people often look like their parents.
The reason why Christianity is so widespread and ingrained, especially in the Western world is due to the fact that for around 1000 years or so, if you were a pagan and lived within marching distance of a Christian population large enough to put together an army there was a good chance you would be invaded, and if you didn't convert you would be executed in some of the most cruel, horrifying, and disgusting methods I've ever heard of, and I've studied war for years..
Claiming that there have been rules and structure put in place to stop corruption, to keep priests celibate, and prevent them from getting rich are just ignorant and how he claims they have been so insightful, otherwise other groups that think the same as they do without the mistake would gain influence.. He must not ever fact check his own thoughts, or do any research. There are thousands of denominations of Christianity now, Catholics and Protestants have been warring and killing each other up until just a few decades ago and now they have to put up walls to keep each other separate. Meanwhile there ARE Catholic priests that are married, priests in Africa are disgustingly corrupt and do great harm to their own flock while the Vatican seems that they couldn't care less, Bishops are living in million dollar apartments with their art alone worth tens of millions using the church bank to hide their wealth and they don't seem to do any good for society. When they do implement change, its often long after others have done so and they join the procession at the tail end and as Mark Twain pointed out, never forget to take credit for the change in the first place. They, like the Bible were pro-slavery, until most of the world had outlawed it, they were very anti-gay and responsible for the UK especially keeping homosexuality illegal until the 1950s, but of course now like to act as if they are tolerant, and that even gays are God's children.
I could probably fill a book just explaining how wrong this guy is when it comes to the Catholic Church, and several others with the other cults out there.
The definition, being "a group of people having religious beliefs or practices regarded by others as strange or sinister." easily meets the definition that most would probably agree with.
The main reason why the cult of Christianity survived till now is because its always been about power over belief, if they stuck to their beliefs and tried to preach and practice the religion as its supposed to be practiced as the Bible commands, and what was far closer to being actual Christianity until the enlightenment civilized it a bit there would either be far less Catholics, or the world would be a far more horrible place to live in. Society isn't doing good because of these institutions, they are thriving despite them.
That's why I love Bret Weinstein. He's not afraid to engage, and he doesn't back down when he believes something is wrong. Weinstein for President 2020!
I'm only a minute in and I'm already lock step with Joes outlook on religion being a big cult. I hope he explains the biggest cults...culture.
How can you not like Joe Rogan man😂
Cult is a small group of lunatics. Religion is a large group of lunatics.
MikefromQueens wrong but that’s fucking hilarious
lol
Alpha Centauri lmao
lol i laughed so hard.
+MikefromQueens Very true.
“It’s just a cult w a billion people” 🤣😭
MY FAVORITE PART
That was awesome
“...with the guy who started it being dead.”
Joe has a point though.
Joe ...Isn't wanting everyone to do DMT the start of a cult/religion?. DMT isn't for everyone..Joe's church of DMT. I was raised in the Catholic Church people changed because they were terrified they were going to go burn in hell.
@@gaylewatkins6781 I think he’s specifically said it’s not for everyone and there’s some people that should stay away from drugs completely but some people that could benefit. He’s definitely made jokes. But.. that’s his job.
That was some freat debating. I agree with JR!!!
When defending what they like, people love to resource to fallacies like "oh, if it wasn't great it wouldn't have existed for so long" or "the dictionary definition of that word doesn't apply to what I like, because...reasons."
Congrats to Joe for not rolling his eyes, because the urge must've been unbearable.
Joe was acting the same way boy, constantly interrupting to add jabs
"Is Scientology a cult"
"I think its too early to tell"
Good save
Happy O'Lucky it is a cult wtf xD
Audrey Mota oh for sure, but the way he structured his argument, this was the correct response even though he does clarify that he finds Scientology troublesome
lol it doesn’t matter its a cult end of discussion
Audrey Mota wow you’re really great at arguing your point.
It's definitely a cult, 100% and it's also dangerous
I'm so happy Joe exists so we can talk about these things civilly.
You can leave a religion pretty easy. Not a cult though
@@loginyoass3771 not all cults are bad like that
Any cult that you could leave, can be left quite easily as well.
It's in the eye of the beholder at that point, or on to the sole purpose, of what the individual really needs to do.
I don't think calling other peoples worldviews bullshit and dumb is very civil but okay
@@blindi6326 Telling someone that they're going to burn in hell for their sins, when they don't believe in hell, isn't civil either
I’ve learned more from Joe Rogans podcast then I did in 18 years of being in the public school system and one semester of community college
God bless you Joe Keep preaching the truth
Joe's the type of guy who will interrupt a guest who's trying to answer a question he asked to talk extensively about DMT.
Exactly. It’s pretty much how vegans socialize. Did he even care what his opinion was or did he want to just pivot to talking about DMT?
@@justincarley I'm afraid that when Joe hears something that goes against his mindset, he turns the topic to DMT as a defense mechanism.
Stfu they had a nice convo you penis
@@hazypsyche6452 Dude, relax. It's just DMT.
@@teejt3737 a wild joe
"this is rough territory"
"For you"
😂🤣😂🤣😂😹😂🤣😂🤣
Facts 💯 this is only tough for one of us 😂
@@ActionJackson669 Joe, could have said that and may as well have followed with "it ain't me!"
They still want to justify their voodoo and zombie cults
“No one cared who I was until I put on the mask”
It's only rough if you're trying to come to some type of logical peaceful understanding. It's easy if you don't give a fuck about logic truth and understanding then you can just throw out labels and hateful rhetoric at anyone who disagrees with you.
Great episode! It it made me think about religion differently
CULT + TIME = RELIGION

Q: What's the Difference Between a Cult and a Religion?

I love how he's respectfully like "Im gonna challenge you on that".
@CALEB EPPLEY Yes, I was getting annoyed at that. Wished he would just shut up an let hom finnish a sentence. I would have been getting frustrated if I was him but to his credit he just went with the flow
I love how Joe had patience to be with a nut
@CHARLIEBOY SALDIVAR XIII Patients are what hospitals have. This guy displayed patience
Cool interview.
Man, I wasn't ready for Moses to be on DMT, but Joe got there way quick
His guest: *finishes going off on yet another brilliant defense for his argument*
Joe: “Right. So let’s say you’re on a spaceship”
And in the ship they have a ton of DMT
Yeah you can literally see him lose interest in any coherent rebuttal, and rhen he just segways to another thought. Good observation
There was no brilliant defense of his argument. "It's old" doesn't address the question of whether it is a cult. Catholicism does meet the definition. And he makes multiple assertions backed by logical fallacies. Lastly Joe is still running a podcast and he will break tension or try to transition to another topic by saying silly shit.
@@metalscottsman a cult is a group of people less than a certain amount
@@azariasstarchild8380 that isn't the definition. You have the internet. You dont have to just say shit, you can look it up.

“Too early to tell”
Joe- *laughs*
I agree 😂
watch leah remini documentary bro its crazy and all from former members. Not just stories, they have EVIDENCE fr
Well technically the person who made it up has died...so according to his joke its crossed over to religion..
Lol
and why did Reagan legalize Scientology...I can't start my own religion and neither can you.
yeah thats a good post.
This whole talk made me feel very uncomfortable but somehow that feels like a good thing? Very interesting topic, I like this guy I’m going to look into more of his stuff.
I don’t agree w many of Rogans views on certain social issues (trans community & gender identity etc) but god damn it does he do a Great Job as an interviewer.
He is wonderful at moving an interview in the right direction but also takes things to different places that open up new debates & topics.
Moreover lol, his range of people on his podcast are very eclectic, which I love.
"This is rough territory"
Joe: "For you"
Vincent Serafini he is highly open minded and thoughtful about the topic where as joe is not. Joes mind is made up so it’s black and white for him. The other man is looking to fully understand these systems and sees many colors.
@@brandonguthrie8122 Thats because Weinstein is a wishy washy little bitch that is always afraid of offending anyone. He's been that way since Evergreen. He went with that whole mentality there until it finally impacted him directly and he was threatened. Then he decided he didn't want to go along anymore. The guy is 100% a weasel.
It's not that Weinstein is wishy washy, he's an academic, Joe is a comedian. Joe can say whatever he wants with hardly any backlash, in this case, since he was raised Catholic, he can get away with it entirely. Weinstein can't.
"You're a big guy"
Brandon Guthrie Joe is still learning. Hopefully he grows from this instead of putting it in the box 📦.
Joe Rogan is trying to start a DMT cult

Am I in? 😉
I'm in.
Yeah
What episode is this?
26:22 his nodding is so fkn cute idk why 😭🤣
Me: “My house burned down, I lost everything”
Joe: “Your house was DMT being smoked by Moses”
Hahahahahaha i am too high for this man haha
Funny, but so stupid and he calls Catholics all wrong
@@memory199726 same bro haha
😂😂😂😂😂
@@rocksparadox ?... Are you high?
My girlfriend who is very religious always tries to talk to me about religion. And I as an agnostic, believe that religion in an individualistic sense is extremely powerful and in most cases positive, but in a collective sense it is very dangerous. When a person is able to grieve with the thought that their loved one will ascend to heaven and their soul continues to live on is an extremely powerful and positive belief, but when her congregation becomes a popularity contest and every little thing anyone in the congregation does gets talked about (mostly in a negative sense) and possibly get ostracized by your so called family because of how tight knit they are. Even though they're not suppose to be judgemental they can be the most judgemental and cruel people I know. I know this isn't always the case but it is what I have viewed.
Yeah a lot of religious people say “though shall not judge” but judge everyone
@@jadenswitalski all the time. Pretty hypocritical people. I mean I judge people, I try not to but at least I'm not vowing an oath and then breaking that oath like it's my job
You're all wrong!!! I've experienced enlightenment multiple times in my life. Agnostic is also a cult so do not be misguided in the logic that because the belief set in the worship on sience is void of a magic god or alien lifeform. It functions exactly as the so called cult does, you must except the belief set or Darwin and other theoretical insights including the big bang theory. So always remember and remain open minded to the concept that DMT slowly trying to guide us along. The methods do change and all cognitive mind's are not wired the same, some people need a structure based way of life, other's thrive on structuring the lives of others. As long as the ladder man in the last sentence is providing a DMT based interpretation that benefits the person adhering to the structure it's ok. It's true that the ladder can be occupied by an unwholesome person who exploit, manipulate and so on. It's difficult to convince people to believe they are involved in something proven to be a lie when every night you lay down, you have the ability to be subjected to DMT brain activity wether it be mild in nature or non eventful hense easily disregarded or extremely potent either pleasant or in the form of an intense nightmare. When you're subjected to that brain function from birth it's difficult to know what waking interpretation of this existence really is. We are all just hallucinating together during the day trying to make sense of biological life and resource management, yet at night we all drift into a singular realm of DMT and experience vividly mind bending perceptions that no other human had other then you. We should be vary carful with common sense and alter all belief set's over time to adopt what sience has shown us. Yet like I say my fellow human friends, sience is a cult, wether good or bad we all need to agree no belief set is void of insanity. It's a core function of are brain.
@@beastclips4642 bro I can assure you I'm not associated with a cult. I came to terms of my agnostic beliefs on my own. I get what your saying, and im not saying you're wrong. I'm also saying no one who believes in God is wrong. I truly do not know what lies beyond this world and that's fine. I'm not really talking about anything you brought up. All I'm saying is I respect religion when it allows people to grieve when a loved one dies with the thought they aren't fully gone since they go to an afterlife, or when times get hard and they ask God for guidance and believe guidance will come. But when religion is in a collective sense I have problems with it. That's all I'm really saying. I'm not putting down any one religion, I'm not saying me being agnostic is right, I don't know what is right, and nobody else does either, all we have is beliefs, and I believe if I don't know for sure then I can't act as if a God exists. That's it.
Exactly. Judging people will always be apart of our nature but I feel as if it's worse in the church
Grew up as a suffering Catholic. Did nine long years in Catholic school boot camp.
I was able to experience discussions like this with a coworker a long time ago. He was from Canada. We shared an office space and periodically we would have political discussions. We would always present the devil's advocate to each other on different stories. We were always able to present our points of view in a mature way, and at the end of the discussion we would agree to disagree in a friendly manner, and that was always the end of that particular topic. We never once got in a heated argument, and always recognized each others point of view in a mature way.
That's the way life should be!!! Good 👍 for you guys for being intelligent and patient and tolerable people.
I had to do that with a very close friend in college who I met on day 1 & became fast friends… a year & a half goes by when I learn his political beliefs which I genuinely believed was a joke, esp given his sense of humor, but no he was serious. At first I was flustered acting on impulse, and it didn’t go well. This bothered me, I actually felt guilty & I broached the topic later on at a different angle, mature, respectful, open minded, researched, and conversing to let a person finish listening to what they really said, to drastically different result. That’s when I learned how to agree to disagree because I had a personally vested interest.
U were both thoguhtfull subs fraise astrolguy .....
@@esk8er900 That's great. What I learned was that we both came from different backgrounds, and upbringing so we could definitely have different views. It was very interesting for sure.
wheres that coworker now?
Best believe Joe is growing acacia bushes in his garden.
Imagine he does that and suddenly decides to go religious .
DMT is stored in the balls
