Joe Rogan Experience: Graham Hancock, Lost Civilizations and Psychedelics
 

My friend just sent this to me and I am now :fulloffuck:

Joe Rogan interviews Graham Hancock, an historian/archeologist who has bravely and personally explored the possibilities of early lost civilizations, how psychedelics have influenced all major early human advancements, and how western society is suppressing such a vital freedom to explore other realms of consciousness if one chooses to do so.

So many crazy mysterious structures in the world, Yonaguni monument underwater in Japan, the pyramids and the Sphinx, Gobekli Tepe in Turkey...crazy to think the world started only 4000 years ago...more like 12,000.

The interview is 2 hours long, but if you are at all interested, you will be hooked and have to watch the whole thing.

Joe Rogan is very entertaining

Bahhbeehhaaaa 10-14-2011 10:07 PM

yup.~! i love that guy

one of Graham Hancock's books was what initially got me interested in a drug called Ibogaine

interesting stuff. Kinda wish it wasn't the UFC d-bag culture spokesperson Joe Rogan interviewing, but I guess it isn't fair to just judge him based just on that.

Fantastic interview and chat session. Just finished watching the full vid :)

joe rogan is the fucking man.


Maliuz 10-16-2011 07:21 AM

Listening to his podcast at work makes time go by way faster.

Teh Doucher 10-16-2011 08:16 AM

if you dont believe in any of the stuff they talk about in that podcast, you are one retarded fucking sheep.

chun 10-16-2011 08:20 AM

His podcasts are definitely worth listening to.

Teh Doucher 10-16-2011 08:32 AM

1 sheep down for the count..

SkinnyPupp 10-16-2011 08:34 AM

Just because someone makes a compelling argument, doesn't mean you instantly have to take their word for it without considering it critically. The only people who do that are... Sheep...

well its an argument that makes a shit ton of sense. well at least in my mind it does.

SkinnyPupp 10-16-2011 08:48 AM

Nothing wrong with that :)

But there are two sides to every argument.

Believe me, I am not the person who just accepts the status quo. But it's also wrong to jump onto every single alternative theory out there. A true critical thinker will consider everything equally. To do otherwise is to be a 'sheep'

Joe is entertaining as hell, he is a great talker. But he also has the tendency to make everything he believes sound very convincing like it is the 'truth'. That comes with his skill of being a good talker - that's what makes him a good comedian/podcaster/sports commentator. He is very enthusiastic, and for that, I think his podcast is fantastic. But for every awesome new thing you learn about on it, there is a lot of stuff where you need to just go 'okay slow down' and not just gobble it up as fact. For the most part, he is extremely open minded, but also skeptical. He is just really good at presenting 'his' side (or the guests/whatever).

Starting at 37min, the discussion about psychedelic drugs; just epic.

Couldn't agree more.

I truly feel deep sorrow for people who bypassed that stage of their lives, and will never get to experience it.

Its akin to never having had a sexual experience.

The mind is so ridiculously powerful and amazing, and most people will never even begin to understand what that means, because of what is mentioned in the podcast.

listen to joe's podcast… he has some great guests on, and is excellent free entertainment.

Joe Rogans podcast with Tim Ferriss was really interesting, introduced me to his book 4-hour work week awesome book

Powerslide 10-16-2011 01:15 PM

ok, I retract my smartass comment from earlier about Rogan. looked a lot more into his podcast and some of his other interviews and guests, also watched the full 2hr interview here. He's really into some good shit.

Skinnypup: totally agree with the need for a healthy dose of critiscism for everything and never to believe everything given as truth, no matter how convincing it sounds, until you do your own understanding of the material. I think it's really that last step that most people don't take.

Rogan is definitely not 'neutral' but I'd prefer him over the rigid thinking 'territorial' scientific community members and academics.

From this particular video: I found Hancock's discussion on freedom of consciousness very compelling.

On another note, has anyone here tried ayahuasca?

hotshot1 10-16-2011 01:36 PM

This podcast is awesome - I've been listening to it for about a year and it has really changed my perspective on a bunch of topics.

Anyway, Duncan Trussell and Bryan Callen are the best guests imo.
