Key Quotes​

Here are 4 direct quotes from the Joe Rogan podcast transcript that represent valuable insights, interesting data points, or surprising statements:

  1. "I think what they're trying to say is that this somehow or another is proof of the multiverse because all of these computers are somehow or another like this quantum the idea is this quantum computer is com is computing along with other quantum computers in other dimensions, other universes, other something, other realms. and that there's an infinite number that that there's so many of them that that's the only thing that can account for this thing being able to do this so quickly." (This reflects a mind-blowing potential implication of quantum computing.)
  2. "Like it is the the clearest like indication of how how that woke [ __ ] was rotting people's brains and is still is still but just less you know what I mean it was it was like it was on the march then and they all felt like they had to go along with it and so and by any means necessary we must make sure that you know so they decided to paint a different version of what he said and they're [ __ ] now they're [ __ ]" (This expresses a strong opinion about media bias and its perceived impact on societal understanding.)
  3. "And you don't think it's possible that this is a stage on the way to becoming some new kind of life form and that has happened already somewhere else and they come to visit to make sure we're okay." (Expressing the possibility of humanity's existence as a precursor or experiment within a larger cosmic context.)
  4. "It just seems like, oh, one day we have all have AI like we have art, you know, all this. It came out of nowhere." (Expressing the surprising and almost sudden presence of advanced AI in today's society.)
