[@trequor]

What are you really talking about? I always thought that niche champions have the best of both worlds. They get praise and acclaim for what they've accomplished, but they can still have a normal life without being recognized on the street everyday. Like think of Magnus Carlsen. Few people outside of chess know who he is. He can even book a hotel room at a huge convention and the staff will have no clue that he is the best in the world

[@elmoblatch9787]

I'm not exactly sure that Joe realized how utterly astonishing the El Cap climb really was. It's probably the greatest athletic feat (and maybe mental) in the history of humankind. It's certainly top five. Alex is a complete outlier, a singular talent. Oh, and I too would listen to a Honnold Podcast, but I just don't think Alex would be into it. He has improved his public speaking immensely, but I just don't think he is particularly interested in pursuing that road.

[@michelleeaton6602]

Elmo Blatch I love your summation of the lack of understanding Joe Rogan has regarding the person and accomplishments of Alex Honnold. And I do like Joe Rogan. I do hope Alex Honnold pursues public speaking. I would I listen to whatever he had to say. He is so authentic and completely without guile. Pure honesty.

[@kvltizt]

It isn't even close to the greatest mental feat. I agree with the athletic bit though.

[@LukeHeironimus]

[@LukeHeironimus]

@Elmo Blatch I'm not exactly sure that ANYONE including the uber-elite mountainers and soloist's realizes how utterly astonishing the El Cap climb and all of his other big wall solo's truly are. Alex does routes that the greatest climbers blanch at just thinking about.

Andrew Andrus ~ see, while I agree he interrupts I also believe he can keep the conversation going. It’s the latter that fuels the former ~ maybe the other way around ~ who knows.

However, sometimes you get guests that drop one word sentences and he pulls them along.

Joe's pretty good at keeping a conversation going. It's his lack of knowledge on basic scientific and historic facts, his lack of specific research on his interviewees, and his willingness to launder bad ideas without really challenging them that are infuriating.

[@mikeisapro]

I liked his idea of doing shorter things, like maybe 15 minute or less videos. I'm not sure he has the skill of talking for long periods of time on his own to an audience, or interviewing a guest, but if he released short videos on youtube, about whatever, people would probably be enthused to watch and hear it. But like he said, he will only do it if he feels the motivation to do it, or that it's his path. Joe Rogan telling him he should do a podcast isn't going to motivate him, he would need to feel it on his own, know he wants to do it, and know what he wants to do. And what more does he have to say when we can already listen to his interviews and watch him climbing mountains? Anything he might say would possibly be overshadowed by the great footage that's already out there; the greatness that he's already accomplished might make talking into a mic seem mundane and minuscule in comparison. But who knows? There's still plenty of potential endeavors left for him, he's only 33 yrs old. As long as he doesn't die, he can do pretty much whatever he wants.

In the film Alex talks about risk vs consequence. For experienced climbers risk is relatively low (still high when compared to most everyday activity) but the consequence is almost always death. In boxing, the risk is extremely high and the consequence is brain damage. they are both very very very reckless and require balls.

I wonder if his affect has to do with the fact that his amygdala literally has a higher baseline then normal people (vis a vis fear, stress and shit... they studied it when they hooked his brain to electrodes and did all sorts of stuff)... and I wonder if that conversely means that regular mundane stuff which feels mundane to us folk is ULTRA MUNDANE to Alex to the point that he is sorta sleep walking through this interview and operating in this zero-state of arousal
