32 seconds in and I’m hooked for 3h
Chamans with 5 star google reviews, there, you’re welcome
This was unreal. What a guy. Fascinating
This guy is interesting, at the least.
Classic OG JRE episode!
After hearing “The Ergot” about 100x in 5 minutes I assumed when in doubt his next word would be because of The Ergot.
I have a copy of ‘Blitzed’, great to see Norman on JRE.
I feel smater after a podcast like this.
Your podcast keep getting shittier can’t stand watching this bull shit you put out everyday now.
lol I like how he says afro-American instead of the normal term used for black Americans
The wanting sugar is parasites and a quick high. Gut health and colon cleans ,fasting. The wanting chocolate, is body needs magnesium and have a look at the 3 types your body needs. And yes i think should legalising micro dosing of mushrooms. Same class as lions mane and other mushrooms
this guy is like the German Flint Dibble, but interesting and manly.
Iboga cures schizophrenia
I always knew LSD would be a wonder drug
one of the best PC … amazing !
I learned ALOT with this one. Really interesting topic and with historical significance
This was a good show but it got better about halfway in when they started getting into more of the Hitler and drug enhancement talk.
Great show, great guest
Statins that are prescribed like candy to elderly people cause Alzheimers and THAT issue could also be a show Joe. And that cancer cannot live in an alkaline body. People need to be educated. Thank you for what you do!
Joe, I know you don’t care about my opinion! But please make Joe Rogan Podcast great again. We need more of this
You need to put this man in touch with Schulz for his dad❤
Errrrrrrbody gots errrrgot
Wow. that was a cool conversation. I’m already excited to hear about his next book!
Good stuff. -This doesn’t sound like Joy Reid or The View🤣
DAVID ICKE!
Yes Joe Alzheimer’s is Diabetes type 3. Dr. Dale Bredesen will tell you and all of us all we need to know and how to Reverse it . Please interview this man.
Joe Rogan Experience #2200 – WARMODE
The Evolution of Intelligence: A Comprehensive Analysis
Introduction
The concept of intelligence has undergone significant transformations throughout recorded history, influenced by advances in philosophy, psychology, neuroscience, and artificial intelligence. This analysis will delve into the evolution of intelligence, exploring its development in humans, the role of brain hormones and neurotransmitters in shaping emotions and behaviors, and the limitations imposed by biological constraints. We will also draw parallels with the emergence of artificial intelligence, speculating on the requirements for artificial generative intelligence and the implications of surpassing human cognitive capabilities.
The Evolution of Human Intelligence
Ancient Civilizations and Philosophical Perspectives
In ancient Greece, philosophers like Plato and Aristotle viewed intelligence as a divine gift, emphasizing reason and wisdom. The concept of intelligence was closely tied to the idea of the soul. In contrast, Eastern philosophies, such as Buddhism and Taoism, focused on the attainment of enlightenment through meditation and spiritual practices.
The Emergence of Modern Psychology
The late 19th and early 20th centuries saw the rise of modern psychology, with pioneers like Charles Darwin, Sigmund Freud, and Jean Piaget contributing to our understanding of human intelligence. The development of IQ tests by Alfred Binet and Theodore Simon marked a significant milestone in the quantification of intelligence.
The Biological Basis of Intelligence
The discovery of neurotransmitters and hormones has revealed the intricate mechanisms underlying human emotions and behaviors. Dopamine, serotonin, and oxytocin, among others, play crucial roles in regulating emotional responses, motivation, and social bonding. These biological processes have been shaped by millions of years of evolution, influencing human intelligence and behavior.
Limitations of Biological Intelligence
Sensory Constraints
Human perception is limited by the constraints of our sensory organs. Our eyes can only perceive a narrow range of electromagnetic radiation, and our ears can only detect a specific range of sound frequencies. These limitations impact our understanding of the world and the development of our intelligence.
Genetic Composition
Genetic factors, such as cognitive biases and inherited traits, also influence human intelligence. While these factors can provide adaptive advantages, they can also limit our ability to perceive and process information.
Brain Structure and Function
The human brain’s structure and function impose additional limitations on intelligence. The brain’s processing capacity, memory, and attention span are all bounded by biological constraints.
Artificial Intelligence: An Analogous Exploration
The Rise of Artificial Intelligence
The development of artificial intelligence (AI) has followed a similar trajectory to human intelligence. Early AI systems were rule-based and narrow, while modern AI has progressed to machine learning and deep learning.
Data Input and Compute
The evolution of AI is closely tied to the availability of data and computational power. As data input increases and compute capabilities expand, AI systems can learn and adapt at an exponential rate.
Artificial Generative Intelligence
Speculating on the requirements for artificial generative intelligence, we can identify several key factors:
Data quality and quantity: Access to vast, diverse, and high-quality data sets.
Computational power: Exponential increases in processing capacity and memory.
Algorithms and architectures: Development of novel algorithms and architectures that can efficiently process and learn from data.
Quantum Mechanics and Intelligence
Quantum Computing
The study of quantum mechanics has led to the development of quantum computing, which has the potential to revolutionize AI research. Quantum computers can process information exponentially faster than classical computers, enabling breakthroughs in fields like cryptography and optimization.
Quantum Consciousness
Theoretical frameworks, such as Integrated Information Theory (IIT), propose that consciousness arises from the integrated processing of information within the brain. Quantum mechanics may play a role in this process, potentially influencing human intelligence and perception.
Thought Experiment: Orders of Magnitude and Processing Speeds
Human Brain vs. AI
Let’s consider a thought experiment comparing the processing speeds and capabilities of the human brain and AI systems.
Human Brain: Estimated processing speed: 1-38 petaflops (1 petaflop = 1 million billion calculations per second). Memory capacity: approximately 2.5 petabytes (1 petabyte = 1 million gigabytes).
AI Systems: Current processing speed: up to 200 petaflops (e.g., NVIDIA’s Summit supercomputer). Memory capacity: tens of exabytes (1 exabyte = 1 billion gigabytes).
As AI systems continue to advance, they will likely surpass human cognitive capabilities, leading to significant implications for human-AI collaboration and conflict.
Conclusion and Future Directions
Surpassing Human Intelligence
As AGI emerges, it is essential to consider the potential consequences of surpassing human cognitive capabilities. We must develop strategies for collaboration, ensuring that AGI aligns with human values and goals.
Real-World Solutions
To address the challenges and opportunities presented by AGI, we propose the following actionable solutions:
Education and re-skilling: Invest in education and re-skilling programs that prepare humans for an AI-driven economy.
Value alignment: Develop frameworks and protocols that ensure AGI aligns with human values, such as transparency, accountability, and fairness.
Human-AI collaboration: Foster collaboration between humans and AI systems, leveraging the strengths of each to drive innovation and progress.
By acknowledging the evolution of intelligence and the emergence of AGI, we can work towards a future where humans and AI systems collaborate to create a better world for all.

Word to your mother.
I’ve battled alcoholism my whole life. I can tell you from 4 years of experience that 🍄 help so much with almost every aspect of alcoholism for myself. I would say have a safe space and good friends to do them with and possibly by yourself in the beginning. They rewrire your brain. Go out in the woods and experience an Ego death. Its the best thing for people who are suffering from anxiety and depression. Helps you realize that all the things you thought were important are a little less each time and help you to see what really is important. Love JRE and have been a fan for years. This was a banger for sure ✌️
Thank you JRE
They dont want another hippy movement.
Best fucking podcast ever! Holy fuck… we’re just an electric bio soup ready to be disrupted with some drugs. WOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
Way better than the dwarf malice
Kind of episode is the reason why #JRE rules.
Finally a stimulating podcast.
Dang Mathew Lacroix must be really stressing these ancient megaliths.
Yesssss
Heidelberg would like a word
34 years ago at school we talked about Hitler and the Nazis and drugs, psychedelics etc.. so congratulations for discovering this in 2015 😂
How appropriate as history repeats 😳 Americans doped their grade schoolers the same way in the 90s!
Ur doctor will happily fill u up with ‘medication’ that is far worse than anything u can buy on the street. The war on drugs is the biggest load of bullshit!! The fact that things are illegal doesn’t stop anyone. I should be able to put whatever I choose into my own body without the judgement of being a ‘druggie’,!!! It shouldn’t be a matter of morals. It would be safer, stop drug dealers. The whole thing is fuckin ridiculous!!! It makes me fuckin angry man
🙄😤😠😡🤬
This guy was brainwashed so bad about the germans he questioned his grandfather …
” I thought we were here to discuss my book ” what a dweeb
I love you guys but you guys make me laugh with your utopia
Freaking conservatives preserve everything screw them
Just a question you think you can communicate with communist or right now or or Iran
If you think so, then you guys leave in La La Land
The precursor to MKUltra 🤨
Joe’s narrow sighted mind of always blaming Republicans for every antidrug law and regulations when their was a heavy racist south that was not republican place. Im not taking away from heavy religious person which the most outspoken was republican like say no to drugs Nancy Reagan face but you have to see what the issue was was the downfall of society like the crack epidemic. And looking at the current analysis of what Mccarthy sad about communist was actually right.
This was so F’n interesting. So Good!!
His book “Blitzed”, is such a great book.
jr plz raise awareness about the male boxer competing in female events,the world has gone mad,god that was hard to watch, absolutely heart breaking…
Who can be Joe Rogan’s boss??? Invent yourself people stop taking order
