What I love about Joe Rogan vs every other interviewer is Joe actually lets the guests speak. He doesn’t try and interrupt or talk over them. And Waters is a very interesting person to get to know. Very intriguing.

[@specter080]

Great point. Another great aspect is that Joes questions and the manner in which he asks them is so thought provoking. He really sets the guest at ease and brings out these great stories and experience.

[@ByWayOfDeception]

[@burntbread___]

You must not have watched a lot of Rogan then. I used to be a big fan. Not anymore. Mainly because of this exact reason. He only lets certain guest talk uninterrupted. If he thinks he “knows” anything about the subject at hand, he doesn’t shut up. I can’t count how many times he’s derailed a guest halfway into their story just to watch some dumbass video that has literally ZERO to do with the convo at hand.

[@josephcurran9924]

This is a huge difference between the generations. Roger's mom was a single parent who believed in the importance of educating her children so they could develop their minds and become useful in society

Roger also grew up in a country with a giant social safety net, universal Healthcare and good wages, although still not a meritocracy, a great departure from the crony capitalism we experience in the US

Roger’s mom reminds me of my dad. He tried to teach us to read every side of the story and understand all sides of the issue before making any conclusions. It’s called critical thinking. Which nowadays is nonexistent in most people. And also respecting other people even when they are different. Just being a good person. My dad was also happily atheist.

@gingerslides a true critical thinker questions everything, including what suits their already established opinions. Also, a critical thinker is always open to change their mind, if is presented with strong arguments.

[@coolioso808]

Glad you had that upbringing and developed critical thinking skills and understand that trying to be respectful is ultimately important as much as possible, because where we disagree doesn't mean we have to hate our neighbour, especially since in this current system 99.9% of us are in the same class and have the same basic needs. Together, we can create a better world. But we cannot do that alone and divided. I've been inspired recently by "One Small Town" initiative by Michael Tellinger. A way to start local, with willing participants, those who are at least on the same wavelength as the others to understanding the reason to create a better alternative system, and will get benefits of community, health and abundance over time the more that volunteer to join.

His stories about his childhood and mother are extremely endearing. When I was growing up, my parents refused to tell "us kids" who they voted for in elections because they wanted us to grow up and make our own decisions without their influence. It meant something.

[@louielouie7806]

If they vote based on the values you imparted in them, they'll eventually vote the same, or not vote at all. Ive never voted. My parents continue to vote, but I have a large distrust for the absolute corruption that abounds in the political class. I dont see them as my leaders. Where would they be leading me? Responsibility lies with the individual, and just like an atheist can latch onto ethical and moral actions of those of faith, without the core beliefs, it is that much more possible to be responsible for ones life, rather than to delegate that to some far removed class of politicians.

[@MrKindermusik]

Same here. My Dad always told me his vote was a personal decision. I take that to heart.

[@pocasanchez]

After 4 years, was it not obvious who they voted for? Serious question bc it would seem that over the course of the term, your parents reactions to what is going on would make it obvious who they voted for. Mine never told me, but boy I sure knew! lol

First time making a comment on a video...I could listen to Joe and Roger for hours. Chills listening...WOW! Thank you Joe for providing the platform and thank you Roger Waters for being an open-book...you are imo one of the greatest people of our time. I have 3 kids who at a very young age were exposed to your music. As they grew in age, I began to share with them my feelings on your lyrics...the deeper meaning beyond the "music/song." As they are now young adults, we reference specific lines from your poetry as we deal with life's challenges. My youngest has even taken one specific line to heart (ten years have got behind us, no one told us when to run, you missed the starting gun) - graduating high school and immediately "getting on with life" by traveling and exploring the country. She continues to have not a worry in the world of conforming to "the machine" and money and material items. She's one of the happiest young adults and I truly believe it's (in part) the impact your lyric(s) had on her at an early stage in her life. To that I say thank you!

[@thepricelesssiesta]

Greatest people of our time? The man who wrote a letter to Ukraine's president's wife asking her to stop the war? How the f***k does Zelensky stop a war he didn't start? Russia invaded and tried to take the capital Kiev and Roger Waters thinks Ukraine should stop the war? The man is a colossal idiot with obvious sympathies for Putin -- a man who has murdered all of his rivals and murdered over 400 people in his own city of Moscow by blowing up a block of flats, all to increase his political power. You respect a man who supports that?

[@mikearchibald744]

What I got from my father was how to live, not his 'advice'. Much of his advice was not helpful, some hurtful. But what I learned about child psychology is that children don't listen to what their parents say, they pay VERY close attention to what they do. I know of all the sacrifices, the humility, the shit and all that got thrown at him to do the best for his family. This is why they say beaten children still grow up like their parents, its all they know. Fortunately I had none of that, although he was fairly strict, but I remember my sister saying "you know, dad doesn't say 'I love you', but he shows it with what he does". And I thought "no duh". Maybe its a guy thing, but I understood that early on. However, I've been in the world enough to know really shitty parents, namely people who NEVER should have been parents, and no, I wouldn't say they deserve a childs respect. They may deserve some pity because they are fractured people, but thats soemthing else.

[@ricardodelacrvz1400]

There is a concept called Bowen Family Systems that says if you get too enmeshed physically and emotionally with your parents youll never develop a genuine sense of self, you will always be the lil kid w codependent problems. Thats why dudes who are over 30 living w parents are afraid losers. Love your parents if they are your friends and love you. If they are losers, haters, physically abusers, unhealthy dudes like my father then f them. I went no contact w mine after becoming independent and it has been a relief.

[@ivanlasic5318]

@@ricardodelacrvz1400 Yeah you are right not all parents are good i should have point that out in my last sentence the point in my case anyway that i resented my father because he pushed me to work hard while i was i high school always waking me up early to do some mindless work but the interesting thing he never forbid me to stay out late.Later i realized he was trying to teach me responsibility you can party all night but in the morning you will have to work he wasn't a tyrant he was preparing me for real life and i wish i could take back some things i said to him back then.

I tried to do it during covid, but it was so hard that I would spend hours everyday parsing through information, no one has time for that. Eventually I made up my mind on certain things and gave up. Same with diet/nutrition. I spent 100s of hours, maybe even 1000 hours just trying to understand how I should eat. I never got the answer, I just heard thousands of mutually exclusive arguments, in the end I went with something in the middle, but in general it was a very tiresome, unrewarding process.

What great advice his mother gave him. I also had that daunting moment in my life when I was about 10 and I realised I was going to die, it hit me hard and I had a few nights where I couldn't sleep and my mum was also there for me. Although she may have not been as wise as this mans, a mothers love is a strong thing that can help grow good men. I love the advice she gave him about looking at issues from both sides and studying topics to the nth degree, then to finalize it by concluding that the answer always is easy, you just do the right thing.

The "right thing" is an entirely subjective matter. Understanding that is fundamental to detailed analytical thought. With respect intended, your understanding is very basic. Some people think the "right thing to do" involves things that other people think are horrible things to do. A lot of people you and I would consider to be quite evil thought they were doing the right thing. You don't have to go back many hundreds of years to find populations of people who thought that sexual contact with children was perfectly okay. In fact, this world contains many countries in 2022 where certain people still hold those views. I think they are wrong and I am sure you do to, but they are quite sure they are right. Waters is a bigot.
