I find it amazing he has the audacity to say that while riding in a limmo (it looked like one of those SUV limmos). I mean if you're going to preach something, and contradict it while you're preaching it. Why should anyone listen? Obviously you dont give two fucks about what you're saying, so why should anyone else?
Blatant publicity stunt. I guess Hollywood feels self righteous now, bitching about, and telling others how to live, while they continue exactly what they're supposedly "against"?
i can't really understand what hes trying to get at? is he saying we're here to destroy our 'host for life' (as he puts it)? that our prerogative is to consume and lay waste to our natural born environment?
if thats the case, i just lost a lot of respect for him.
last i checked L.A. wasn't a model for human excellence.
From a strictly biological standpoint, he is 100% correct. We do it daily. We destroy anything that is different than us. Skin color, sexual orientation etc. The mission for us is to transcend out simple biology.
Exactly, we like to think we are better than other organisms, but he's pointing out the fact that we aren't. Animal populations grow until something higher on the food chain thins them out, or starvation does. They fight to survive when they need to. Since we are the top of the food chain, only disease, starvation, and war will thin us out. Until one of those factors comes we continue to spread like any other biological entity.
You and Rogan are both wrong from a biological point of view. Rogan states that "the earth is a living organism." The earth is NOT a living organism by any meaningful definition because the earth does not reproduce itself or die.
I'm not going to pretend that I'm a biologist or geneticist like some other phonies on this site, but I'm pretty sure the definition for life doesn't change all that much. The earth fits exactly zero of the known characteristics of life. Lots of very smart people defined these characteristics, therefore, it is you Hossrex that is ignorant.
"I'd like to share a revelation that I've had during my time here. It came to me when I tried to classify your species. I realized that you're not actually mammals. Every mammal on this planet instinctively develops a natural equilibrium with the surrounding environment, but you humans do not. You move to an area, and you multiply, and multiply, until every natural resource is consumed. The only way you can survive is to spread to another area. There is another organism on this planet that follows the same pattern. A virus. Human beings are a disease, a cancer of this planet, you are a plague, and we are the cure."
Your a tard to actually use a several sentence quote from The Matrix. Did you have to hit rewind 30 times to get it all down, or were you sick enough to memorize it verbatim in order to post on an "intellectually stimulating" discussion on Glumberts?
Good god you have given me a great idea. I'll make a website that has quotes from movies and then people can search for those quotes and then they can copy and paste those quotes! That's gonna make me like a hojillion dollars, sucker.
Errr... since every reply to his post mentioned either that it was from the Matrix, or a movie... it would seem that YOU'RE the one who needs to read a little closer.
There are many bacteria that live within us, helping us, or simply doing nothing at all. In fact with no bacteria alive, we would die. Escherichia coli lives within our gut and produces Vitamin K, without which we would die.
This is just to show that not all bacteria "eat" its host and destroy its host. We need to change our lives though to be more like these, in that I agree with him. But his biology is wrong
Again, IT IS A METAPHOR, you know, like when you compare something to something else by saying things like "I have balls of steel", now we all know I don't actually have balls of steel and it is just a metaphor for how tough I think I am. Good lord people...
Maybe not what Darwin, Mother nature, or God for that matter (if you're a believer) intended, but given our current behaviour as a species, imho Rogan's right - agree with Atirakis. It's a decent metaphor for what we're doing right now
PHD, don't confused between bacteria and parasites! Yep 'friendly' bacteria abound. Parasites even have a place supposedly. But I struggle with leeches and tapeworm to see exactly what that higher purpose is. I think as a race we're kinda nearer the parasite end of things.
Ants and bees rule! But they're probably communist.

I find it amusing that idiots are quick to point out what an idiot another person is, when they say equally idiotic things. Someone mentioned the fact that humans believe they are different from everything else. We are in a sense, but at the same time it's ingrained in us (either culturally or naturally, I don't know) to feel we are better than not only every other animal, but better than every other human as well. Which is why idiots think other people are idiots. They believe their opinion is right, generally no matter how crazy it is. The difference between an idiot and an intelligent person is the WILLINGNESS to look at an alternate point of view, collect more information, and then either reinforce your opinion, discard your opinion, or change your opinion even if slightly. If we aren't willing to admit that we are wrong (even to ourselves, in an annonymous forum) what does that say about humanity???
By the way, I have a feeling that crows are communists, too.
Hmm, this sounds like "ramblings of a stoned person"...suddenly all enlightened and righteous...at least that's how I get LOL! OK, all jokes aside, aren't we all just star dust? Everything we see and know, all life, all planets, every atom of every thing, are from the same source..exploding stars of the very distant past, nothing more, nothing less, all arranged in different configurations in symbiotic relationship with one another, until finally the day comes when...............
the problem is he looks at earth as a "living organism". earth has living organisms ON it, but is not one. i think he believes in evolution. thus the problem
I'm sorry. I don't understand what you mean by "I think he believes in evolution"... That's like saying "I think he belives in gravity". Can you expand on your comment?
i fucking agree 100% with this guy, were like a fucking god damn parasite on earth, and all were doing is fucking earth up, global warming, pollution, fucking up the animals natural habitat n shit, i hope the human race goes extinct pretty soon or we just fucking blow each other up , doesn't matter this world would be better off without us MWBLAOUahah
"Him riding in the limo proves he's smart, you holding it against him proves you aren't."
- hossrex
joe rogan riding in a limo only proves that he has money (there are a lot of idiots riding in the back of limos) - and anyway, who are you to assume that i don't have money?
so to go by your thinking - just because i made a comment on his little diatribe means that i'm jealous of him? nice logic. making statements as intelligent as that, i'm sure you'll be happy on these message boards for a long time. fight the good fight buddy. i'm sure joe rogan would appreciate it.
I feel fairly comfortable in saying an overwhelming majority of those who insult a person, simply because they're riding in a limo, don't have enough money to ride around in a limo.
Riding in a limo doesn't prove you're smart. Riding in a limo, because you've made your wealth doing stand up comedy people find humorous, and interesting, however... DOES make you intelligent. I said as much in the post you're replying to.
Oh... and insulting someone simply because of the car they drive IS ignorant, and offensive to anyone with common sense.
"I feel fairly comfortable in saying an overwhelming majority of those who insult a person, simply because they're riding in a limo, don't have enough money to ride around in a limo."
I'm glad you feel 'comfortable' saying that. Overwhelmingly unfounded logic again, but it seems you're no stranger to that.
"Riding in a limo doesn't prove you're smart. Riding in a limo, because you've made your wealth doing stand up comedy people find humorous, and interesting, however... DOES make you intelligent. I said as much in the post you're replying to."
I'm afraid I have to disagree with you there. Creating wealth through a career of humorous, interesting stand up comedy doesn't make you intelligent. It makes you a comedian who has done well enough for himself to be able to ride around in limos. A sharp wit and a sense of comic timing does not necessarily denote intelligence - and it certainly doesn't mean that we should take everything that a person says seriously (even if it IS from the back of a limo).
Also, I find it amusing that you seem to make it your personal mission to convice the people on this forum that Joe Rogan is indeed an intelligent person, and that we should take his opinions seriously. I have no qualms with him, his limosine, or the theory that he is espousing, aside from the fact that the theory is PROFOUNDLY oversimplified and one dimentional. THAT is why I made the comment in my initial post, which has prompted you to jump down my throat and insult my intelligence. Thanks for trying though.
that's putting yourself on a bit of a pedestal don't you think? i'm sure there are many people reading this who understand very well what rogan is talking about.
so do you mean that theories in general should be kept simple so that most people will understand?
btw - i was saying that the theory itself was too simple. not the way that it was presented.
Hossrex- you are one of the most ignorant, offensive people I know on here. All of your posts are mindless rambles intended to incite people and then you try and backtrack and make a valid point, which only makes the hamster in your head spin faster and out of control. You lack any credibility in my eyes and seriously need a hug or need to take a vacation in the Philippines and get laid.
I mean that he might not have kept it simple on purpose but that if he had used a more complicated analogy, most of these morons wouldn't have gotten it anyways.
Also just because it is oversimplified doesn't mean that it isn't basically accurate.
I just don't buy into the whole "Human's are viruses" thing. I think we're more like spores.
The Earth organism is just gettin' all hot and puffy, and it's tearing itself apart trying to blow it's load (us) all over the other rocks floating around to make more Earth-life. Just look at what guys do just to get laid and tell me the earth is any different.
I mean, dudes risk going broke, hangovers, sickness, fights, and generally making idiots out of ourselves just for a piece of ass. The earth is just a giant horny mushroom.
I'm not saying it's okay that we're raping the earth so the earth can blow it's load. No man we just got to be gentlemen about the whole thing so when the earth is ready to get busy, it's with some class.
We gotta treat the earth like we're lookin' for "Mrs. Right", that girl you want to introduce to your mom.
At the rate we're going now we're driving along main street at 3 in the morning with our entire paycheck and a six pack lookin' for someone with the least track marks.
I just don't understand a lot of people that reply to this. I'm not saying I don't understand their arguments, it's just really silly how as soon as a guy (it doesn't matter who he is really - Joe Rogan is an everyguy, doesn't have a piece of paper to prove how smart he is, but he has put a little thought towards it.
And then the masses come on, citing problems and inaccuracies with his thoughts, the sum of information presented to this particular human being, while others agree with him and seek to supplement and augment his thoughts.
It's getting to the point where a man can't have a thought without someone looking to shift and bend it to what they believe is right or wrong. Rare is the time where someone intakes a little information on a subject without having to 'discuss it' which means two people butting heads all day long citing names and references, allusions to thoughts from 'learned men'. There is no synergy or option of building a new theory out of the body of information.
You can't be right, or have a thought - because someone much older and deader than you has already done it, and it's completely immutable unless you have the papers to prove you're smarter, as well as living as saintly and humble a life as you can get your tattered mittens on.
Me - if I were in that limo, I'd just nod, and add that thought to the ball, rather than plant my feet in a fight which is better off fought in my own mind.
makes me sick how some of you act like glumbert is some kind of intelligence contest. in layman's terms his metaphors were basically correct, get over it, it's a video of someone's opinion.
I might have listened to this guy, if he weren't wearing his hat backwards. You have just fueled the economy you are bashing, and for the mere purpose of trying to look cool. Someone should award this guy the nobel peace prize for curing all forms of intelligent thought.
I completely 100% agree
We are here to destroy...we are a cancer and that's that...we're destroying this world every time we bring a new technology, everytime we build a home, send a fax, it's a fact. We are a festering "bacteria". He's absolutely right, we are destroyed and we rebuild.
so im bringing myself to comment on this for a couple of reason, the main one being the stupid fucking people that laid out their comments before me.
the majority of people putting their sense in missed the whole damn point of what joe is saying. its a theory on our planet and the human beings living on it, not lesson. this isn't Mr. Rogan's biology 101 to all the idiots correcting him. take in what hes saying as an actual legitament possiblity. think above yourself and your little misconceptions.
on to people responding to joe being in a limo. first of all your hating for his celebrity status and thats the underline reason. and this happens because people think hes wealthy and cocky and that gives him the right to say what the fuck he wants. well he's wealthy and a celebrity beacause hes cocky and funny, which gives him the OPORTUITY to say what he wants. go on to youtube and find an average guy talking about his veiw on the world and i bet that average guy (who is nothing more than a social secutity number to our modern world) doesnt have near 15000 hits.
lets put the moral and petty bullshit aside. its an intelligent veiw on our world today, not a negative veiw as people think it is, but just a view that in many ways can be found as a correct
