Joe Rogan and CK Louis on broke people

[@garyjones9910]

Two men having two different conversations with each other

[@2116sassafrass]

I'm not mad at Joe, but it seems like Louie is talking about a level of self-absorption to someone who's pretty self-absorbed - albeit in his pursuit of optimal performance/ health by all means necessary and available

[@jaseveltkamp2784]

One talking about fulfillment while the other is talking about dopamine

[@ola6482]

My first impression was exactly

[@Jay-ky4ew]

Accurate. Louie is trying to be polite because he sees that Joe is not getting it. He wants to end the show on good terms with Joe, probably because Joe could have a negative effect on his career just by saying nothing. There's a point where Louie laughs and it's a moment in conversations I tend to dread. You see that the nature of the discussion can't allow you to disclose what's necessary for the interlocutor to receive any form of enlightenment and the interlocutor's position is such that they have a massive blindspot that demands they never look there. The closest analogy is being out on a date with a person you like and you're pretty sure they're interested in you, but if you reveal it too early, they have to stop showing you they like you because too much will happen too quickly. So you believe that they don't like you and stop signalling interest which makes them think you're a lost cause so they give up or reclassify you as a friend and now you're stuck even though you both really liked each other to begin with. I like the idea of Joe looking back on this video and seeing what he didn't see here, but he's very much like a shark. I don't think he goes back over old things to watch his own progression.

Louis is trying real hard to tell Joe in the most polite way that nobody gives a shit about his cold plunges and saunas. Most people can’t relate to that. But Joe is so out of touch that it goes over his head over and over.

[@briancomforti3890]

He kept thinking Louis was saying cold plunges don’t improve your state of mind. I see how a rich famous man would find his trips to gyms challenging, but Joe seems to think he’s going above and beyond the rest of mankind’s efforts by “taking care of his physical body”. People simply don’t have the time or money to. If you live in the ghetto in Detroit your “cold plunge” is stepping out your front door.

This reminds me of a conversation I had with a coworker a while back. He was born and raised in Nigeria but had been living in the U.S. for 10 years. I asked him if he had ever taken a cold shower (I had been reading about the benefits). He replied to me "yeah almost every day of my life I used to take them." A dose of reality hit me like a train in that second.

Technically all you need is a bucket, some ice, and a shower if you wanna make a ghetto cold plunge.

the common sense of throwing the border wide open because somehow more brown people in America is a solution to Joe Rogan not having enough problems?

[@ChristAliveForevermore]

​@@bigol9223He's referencing equilibrium. Not policy. America is so out of equilibrium with its wealth accrual that "Every force has an equal an opposite force," so to speak. I.e., the people clawing to get in is a result of the pillaging of the world making America a shining beacon of consumerist hope in a world of destitute hopelessness. When (not if) the world finally penerates the cell membrane that is the American experiment, the world will face a major collapse of sorts as the American status quo goes beyond its means to maintain its global hegemony, all the while the home front faces absolute squalor for the bottom 3/4 to 4/5 of America at least. This would have global consequences in Europe and China, of course. But this is what happens when a massive suck on global resources, as Louie describes, goes on for so long - its effect on the external environment becomes cancerous, and the external environment responds in like. For the world to find fulfillment, balance must be achieved, not hyper success of a few at the cost of the misery of the billions. This is inevitable.

Not really, he's saying that even if they have the means they're still miserable because they're detached from the essence of life that would actually bring fulfilment. They have privilege and freedom beyond anything their ancestors could have imagined and they're still groping for more, and talking about it in groups just highlights that detachment in a gross way. Basically reiterating his point about white people problems being when we don't have any so we invent them.
