"The access for people to share fascinating ideas—it's not limited to universities anymore. And I think that drives them crazy, because they spent so much time being in control, and then all of a sudden it's [gone]."
Rogan added:
"And who knows how much of it is even real, because now we have AI bots that get turned loose by—whether it's universities like the University of Zurich, that just got in trouble for running that experiment with social media, which is really wild. So we don't even know, like, how much of it is organic until you see something like voting."

Joe Rogan explores how human happiness grows in exponential ways
During a recent episode of his podcast with comedian Jimmy Carr, Joe Rogan delved into the social and psychological aspects of human happiness. He suggested that happiness isn't just an individual experience, but a force that expands exponentially when shared within a community:
"The more happy people there are, the better life will be. It'll expand—it's not like one plus one equals two. It's exponential; it accelerates. The more people are happy and enjoying their lives, the more you will enjoy your life. And that's just part of a community. It's the natural human reward system that's set up to make sure that we all get along together and continue to procreate and have a wonderful society… until we meld with the machine, which is coming any day now."
