Joe: As a person who reads CNN and wants to think of them as a responsible purveyor of the facts, I would like to think that.

Elon: Yeah... I don't think CNN is that.

ELON: I'm concerned that globalization leads to the potential a mind virus to spread to all people

JOE: Yeah like bluetooth, we'll get brain viruses through bluetooth in our brains

ELON: ...wh.....um... Ok I mean what's happening right now.

JOE: Those viruses, like embedded chips can have viruses, they'll get in our brains

ELON: I'm talking about a mind virus as in a concept that infects people's minds

JOE: Ohhhh.... Like a cult.

ELON: ....Yeah, I mean... nevermind.

I appreciate and respect that Rogan is open minded and willing to talk to anybody, but I have a hard time listening to him. He’s the embodiment of the stoner kid who thinks he’s way smarter than he actually is.

He's talking about memes as originally coined by Richard Dawkins in The Selfish Gene and later in Virus of the Mind.

I have a theory that he is trying to be the anti-Bill Gates in an attempt win the favor of the masses without having to be a huge philanthropist. I really want to be a fan and cheer on for red pilled billionaires. But I can't imagine you get into his economic stratosphere without being anti-civilization. Just a theory. The gayboi in me wants to think there are good people with his status that serve the will of Good. But the cynic in me has a hard time believing it's possible.

Well let's agree with him if he says something that defends or benefits humanity and call him out when he doesn't.

Elon is what I call a humanist. He wants what he thinks is best for the human race. He is seeing globalization is not that. Obviously just one of many viewpoints he holds, but in this case it’s certainly a good one. I’m not sure about the rest of his views though as I haven’t heard him talk about them much.

Wow this podcast might be the turning point for Karen world. They might not agree with anything trump says but it's gonna sound way different coming form Elon Musk for a lot of people.

You are severely underestimating the cogdis on the left. They will just say he was compromised by the Russians and/or threatened by Trump.

With respect to "Viral mind viruses" check out one of Neil Stephenson's earliest books Snow Crash. Pretty good for an early effort, and VERY prescient for 1992.

Sure, Elon is not a conservative, but that is not a prereguisite or a requirement for being "redpilled". Most of us who were "redpilled" at some point came from the left or the center.

In Elon's defence he isn't pushing any identity on the child. Biology is what determines a child's gender identity so he is going to grow up like a boy and end up liking boy things.

I mean it is pretty much a fact that if you give children the freedom to choose, they will choose what is often the traditional gender roles and interests. Boys will be boys.

Fake News!! Why do you people keep lying when you know you're a few clicks away from getting made a fool out of? https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1257511340127555584

Red pilled people don't advocate, design, test and manufacture electroneural devices for installation into human beings. This guy is dangerous.
