He has inspired me for many years with his conversations to be a better and kinder person and has now been doing so as a friend. There's no one I would rather talk to on this 300th episode of this podcast. On the 4 July both the anniversary of this country's declaration of Independence and the anniversary of my immigrating here to the United States. A silly kid who couldn't speak English and could never imagine that he would be so damn lucky as to live the life I've lived and to feel the love I've felt from the amazing people along the way. From the bottom of my heart. Thank you. I love you all. This is the Lex Friedman podcast. To support it, please check out our sponsors in the description. And now, dear friends, here's Joe Rogan. Charles Bukowski said something in a poem called style about art. He defined art, saying, style is the answer to everything. A fresh way to approach a dull or dangerous thing. To do a dull thing with style is preferable to doing a dangerous thing without it. To do a dangerous thing with style is what I call art. What do you think you meant by that?

And one of the things that I said was that he practices an art that very few people appreciate. And it's the art of the maximized life and that the discipline that he displays in his life and through his practices and all the things that he does, it's so difficult to live the way he lives. That for someone like me, who understands it and knows what he's doing and appreciates it, and appreciates how insanely difficult it is to have a full time job and run ultra marathons, get up at 04:00 in the morning, run a full marathon before work. That's the kind of shit that he does when he's training for these 240 miles runs. At the same time, being like a father, a husband, having this full time job, also being the best bow hunter on earth, lifting weights. It's like, how does a person do this?", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "So in a way, discipline is art, too.", "role": "user" }, { "content": "Yes, discipline is art.

I said, ho. Then ding. Get the fuck. I said, whoa. I said, well, who would they like me to fight? And he said, 1 minute. And then it's Bob SAP. I said, okay.

I think knowing that this is a temporary time, that we have finite lifespans, I think there's great power in that because it motivates you, it gets you going. I think being an immortal living forever would be one of the most depressing things, particularly if everybody else was dying around you. And I think one of the things that makes life so interesting and fascinating is that it doesn't last, that you really get a brief amount of time here, and really, by the time you're just starting to kind of figure yourself out who you are and how not to screw things up so bad. Like, time's up, the ride's over.", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "What about from your daughter's perspective? Do you think about the world we're in now? And what kind of world you're going to leave them?", "role": "user" }, { "content": "I do.", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "Do you worry about it?", "role": "user" }, { "content": "I do, yeah. I do. When I see these protests and riots and chaos and so much anger in the world today, and then particularly today, I think because of the pandemic and the fact that so many folks are out of work and through no fault of their own and can't make ends meet, and just people feel so helpless and angry. It's a particularly divisive time. It's a particularly turmoil filled time. And it just doesn't seem like the world of a year ago even, just feels very chaotic and dangerous. And it's a small thing in terms of the possibilities of things that could happen to the world, like a pandemic like the one we've experienced, it really just doubles the amount of deaths on a bad flu year, relatively speaking, is a small thing in comparison to super volcano eruptions, asteroid impact, a real horrific pandemic, one that really wipes out millions and millions of people. It's stunning how fragile civility is. It's stunning how fragile our society really is, that something like this can come along, some unprecedented thing unprecedented thing can come along. And all of a sudden, everybody's out of work for six months, and then everybody's at each other's throats, and then politically, everyone's at each other's throats. And then with the advent of social media and the images that you can see with videos of police abuse and just racial tensions are an all time high. To a point where, if you asked me just five or six years ago, have racial problems in this country largely been alleviated? I'd probably say, yeah, it's way better than it's ever been before. But now you could argue that it's not. Now you could argue it's no, it's way worse. In just a small amount of time, it's way worse than it's ever been during my lifetime. While I'm aware of it. Obviously, when I was a young boy in the 60s, they were still going through the civil rights movement, but now it just seems very fever pitched. And I think a lot of that is because of the pandemic and is because of all the heightened, just tension. What I likened it to is road rage. Because people have road rage not just because they're in their car and no one can get to them, but also because you're at a heightened state, because you're driving fast. And you know you're driving fast. You know you have to make split second movements. And so anybody doing something, you're like, what up? People go crazy because they're already at an eight, because they're in the car and they're moving very quickly. That's what it feels like with today, with the pandemic. It feels like everybody is already at an eight. So anything that comes along, it's like, light it all on fire, burn it down. That's part of what I think is part of the reason for a lot of the looting and the riots and all the chaos. It's not just the people out of work, but it's also that everyone feels so tense already and everyone feels so helpless. And it's like doing something like that makes people, it gives people a whole new motivation for chaos, a whole new motivation for doing destructive things that I've never experienced in my life.", "role": "assistant" } ]
