@pmarca Gosh, maybe the purpose of life isn’t to start companies and be a lotto ticket for VCs…maybe it’s just to figure out who you really are and be as happy as you can be.
@pmarca Suddenly makes sense why he hates the whole introspection thing.
@pmarca lol, part of the same reason I don’t drink, I’ve already finely tuned my brain chemistry for optimal neurosis
@pmarca we can cure you marc
@pmarca On the flip side, the ones who take psychedelics and lean into capitalism become Steve Jobs
@pmarca The bottom line is that no advice is universally applicable.
@hubermanlab @pmarca Ayahuaskamaxxing
@hubermanlab @pmarca Maybe psychedelics help them realize that whether a company is financially successful or not isn't the purpose of life. Starting a company is an experience, like any other experience, and maybe it's time to move on to the next experience?
@pmarca What would happen if pmarca took some psychedelics😏😂
@pmarca I’ve heard SV is filled with people using a combination of legal & illegal drugs including psychedelics. You aren’t going to find the people who go to the Valley bc psychedelics disrupted their default mode network & you aren’t seeing those who used psychedelics but didn’t leave.
@pmarca No psychedelics until Series B.
@pmarca Correlation =\= causation
@hubermanlab @pmarca I‘d rather be a happy surf instructor in Indonesia than be a miserable entrepreneur. Psychedelics are a gift. They reveal who you truly are. Not everyone has the courage to do this.
@pmarca Don’t all good entrepreneurs kind of have a chip on their shoulder? Something to prove?
@pmarca hmm, how do i add "don't worry psychedelics didn't fix what's wrong with me" to my pitch
For once he’s losing business when this happens. These guys get under pressure, somebody hands them psychedelics, they come out calmer and “enlightened,” see parts of life they never saw before, and then they quit. Speaking from my own experience and observations. A lot of driven people run their brain at high speed. It costs them in other areas of life. That drive builds the company. It also wears them out, and in many ways it’s real torture. It gets in the way in other parts of life too. Also as you get older, you have less energy, so it’s harder to keep going that way. So when they come out peaceful and leave, I get why it feels attractive. The thing that made them a founder is the thing they just turned off. Bad for the company. Maybe better for them. I don’t do psychedelics. I don’t need them to see this. My brain is already psychedelic enough on its own. Some stuff happened in my life, and it pushed me into a different mode. I’m still intense and see things, and my natural creativity makes me restless. I’m just trying to do things in a calmer way now, but it's hard. But I can relate to why they peace out.
@pmarca Nietzsche would see psychedelic healing as bugman. As decadent, as giving up.
@hubermanlab @pmarca Maybe their company was shit, failing to provide a service vaporware bullshit like 90% of software companies? Maybe they understood that better than anyone, deep down, and finally accepted it. In such cases (many such) it was the optimal outcome.
@hubermanlab @pmarca not everyone who uses psychedelics and runs a company is a noob with psychedelics
@pmarca i guess money is the bigger reason
@pmarca Doesn’t @pmarca say the best founders aren’t neurotic? But here he’s implying the neuroticism provides their spark
@pmarca Believe he's referring to ayahuaska. At that time articles were circulating of founders abandoning not just their companies but their families and doing shit like moving to Tuktuk giving guided excursions on longboats.
@pmarca This dude is a straight up sociopath
@pmarca The trick is to megadose on Psychedelics before u start your company
@pmarca It's part of VC agreements now, no psychedelics if we fund you.
@pmarca here we go again
@pmarca Only in Silicon Valley can finding inner peace become a portfolio risk. The founder stops obsessing over valuation and starts enjoying life. Meanwhile, the VC is calculating how enlightenment affects his fund returns. You can't make this stuff up.
@hubermanlab @pmarca Marc Andreessen is criticizing other founders who are still fantastically wealthy and also at peace. He really doesn’t have one ounce of self reflection these days. I’d almost feel bad for him if he weren’t trying to run our lives with his fellow billionaires.
@pmarca Seven fungi produce psilocybin type compound. Six identified as competing with termites for rotting wood. Makes the termites go off and do their own thing, don't work as a team to help process the wood.
@pmarca A founder is a machine of making money for them. If the machine breaks, no money for them, even if the machine is happy. It was never about the happiness of the machine, but about the money it could make them.
@pmarca Marc believes the purpose of all life to increase gdp
@pmarca huberman really out here making the case that burnout is just enlightenment with a surfboard
@pmarca achievement is either driven by curiosity / creativity, or avoidance / fear. arguably not a loss when the second group stops achieving, you make more space for projects of the first group who have genuine capacity

![Kid Cudi says he got MGMT so drunk and high they made nothing all night, then "Pursuit of Happiness" happened in the doorway as they were walking out "I had them come in the studio, and this day was actually the day that Michael Jackson died. And I was kind of in mourning for the rest of the session. I was in a funky mood, and we were trying to create. But I got them too drunk and high. They got so blitzed." "I remember Andrew was playing on a keyboard and him and Ben just giggling like little kids. And I was like, oh my god, we ain't making [expletive] tonight. I was like, I f*cked up. I got him too geeked." "So we were getting ready to leave. We were there for like hours, man. And we couldn't make anything." "When they first got there, they wanted to hear the vibe of the album. So I played them a couple songs. And Pursuit of Happiness, I remember they asked me to play that twice." "So before they were leaving, I was like, 'Guys, I really want y'all on the album. Maybe you guys want to sing this hook with me on this song you asked me to play twice, Pursuit of Happiness.' And they were like, 'Okay, cool. Let's try it.' And they went in, laid it down, and that's how I got them on the album. Just like that." "It was almost, they were about to leave. It almost didn't happen."](https://image.24vids.com/tw-2088997085097951640/amplify_video_thumb/2088996925219512320/img/nklf51AVPoGLdQ5o.jpg)
![Transcript from Semivan/DeLonge from yesterday. And save your, "Semivan is CIA so I don't believe anything he says!" "There's these things out here that are trying to deceive us. That, to me, is the big picture. That we have been engineered." ~Tom DeLonge "From what I hear, and what I know, it's an extraordinarily complex phenomenon. Everything you said...I wouldn't discount it at all." ~Jim Semivan ~~~From the Latest Episode of TTS Talks~~~ DeLonge: "You and I have had so many discussions about the jinn. And the jinn was like a demonic figure that came out of a lot of Middle Eastern religions. But it's really no different than the demons of the Bible, or the archons of the Gnostic texts. Like, it seems like all these religions have this same kind of entity that can move from point to point, can inhabit your body, take over your body, that plays tricks on you, that's trying to deceive you, and so on and so forth. And you start to see these patterns, they're just kind of described in different ways, but they're all...every religion is describing the same thing. You got a physical body with a tether to a God, that's a source energy of some sense. And then you have these other things that are after it, and they show up in balls of light, or they trick you or they deceive you. And that's just always...that's what's fascinated me. And it's not about these ancient texts are the only texts that matter, or the Bible says it so it's more important than if Einstein said it. I just think you look at all these things over time and find just a few things that are being repeated. And that's really where I came to the conclusion where this is what makes sense to me, where mankind is not necessarily in charge, but it's being deceived to make free will choices to end up in a certain place, to "their" (quotation marks added by me) benefit. And that can be found, really, within all religions and UFO experiences, and so on. There seems to be a pattern there. And that's really where I've landed with all this stuff." Semivan: "Do you think that our relationship with this phenomenon is more deterministic? In other words, are they directing traffic? I mean, do you think they're directing traffic, or...?" DeLonge: I do. I mean, if you look at Peter Levenda's book, "Sinister Forces," what he did over a series of three books is he found all these synchronicities in patterns in real life events, over decades and decades and decades. From, you know, World War II and the Nazis, into Roswell, into the JFK assassination, into so...it just goes all the way through. You've got the same people, a lot of the same kind of events are happening, a lot of weird connections to certain groups and secret societies. Like, weird things, where you're kind of going: If someone wanted to engineer life to end up in a certain place, these are the things that did it. Like very specific events got us here, and then when they're all connected to each other, in odd ways, then you're kind of going, 'Who set this up?' And so his books, I think, were really genius in that regard. "And there's all these like, things that we would read in a lot of these ancient stories where like, 'You know, the devil can't kill ya, but he can deceive you enough to kill yourself and kill other people,' or whatever. There's like these weird laws, you know? But then you look at some of the spiritual teachings in other places, and they're just kind of like, 'You know, these outside forces can't necessarily live in this physical realm, but they can deceive you, or they can be on your shoulder whispering in your ear,' and so on. "And the UFO event stuff seems to be very similar, where you have these people that have abductions, and then, you know, they're whispering in the abductees ear about the end of the world or how you need to change your life. And Jacques Vallee was like, 'Well, if we can't study when these things show up, maybe we can study the abductee.' And if you look at the abductee, they're starting cold. So they're killing themselves, or changing their life and leaving their wife and f*cking leaving their jobs and starting a religion or something. And he goes, 'This is weird. It's like they're being deceived and then they make free will choices to end up at a different place.' "So I'm putting all these things together, and it seems like our society, and Earth as we know it, has been engineered to be in this spot by a lot of religious, paranormal, and odd UAP events over time. Even Hitler would wake up in the middle of the night screaming that someone was in his room, telling him to do things. And you're kind of going, 'Are all these world leaders being corrupted somehow, sometimes?' You know, you never know. "And I think that's the scarier part of it. And when I look at the world now, I kind of go, 'Okay, so we know that we can play with DNA, Dolly the sheep and cloning is like a thing. And if we're doing something now in the public eye, and China admits it's cloning animals, I bet you that in different places and different governments of the world they've done a lot more with the human body than we even know.' But I'm sure we're growing hair, we're growing artificial hearts and ears in petri dishes, maybe we can change skin color and eye color if we wanted to. You get into all that stuff, CRISPR and all the things where they can get edit the genome. "So I'm going, 'If something's millions of years advanced and was here way early on, did they change our skin color? Did they do the star Bethlehem-type moments, or Fatima moments, or the Joseph Smith moments with the Morman religion? I mean, all these religions have these crazy, metaphysical, UFO-type events. [And] where did we end up? We ended up in a place where we all believe in a different human God, we all have different skin color, and different kind of cultural setups, to where we all are arguing and fighting over our belief of what it's all about. "But we're all kind of saying the same thing: There's a physical body with a tether to a source, you know? And there's these things out here that are trying to deceive us, you know? That, to me, is the big picture. That we have been engineered... Then the question is, 'Why?' Like, why were we set up to be so factionalized? And one of the things that really got my attention - and I don't even know if I ever sent this to you or not - there is this guy that showed up that said he worked on the biological program of some of these alien bodies. So he put up this whole Reddit post, and then it got taken down and disappeared. But someone that read it was very much in biology, and was like, 'This guy [has a] level of understanding of biology.' And Linda Howe put it up on her website, and I read the thing like three or four times, and it's kind of a dense read. But what's really interesting, whether it's fake or not, it really resonated with me. "He got into this idea that DNA can be affected with free choice. And we didn't know this, but we're learning it now. Like, if I force you to kill somebody, it's not gonna matter. But if you choose to kill somebody, that will resonate in a DNA-level, conscious soul-level, and can be passed down through generations. So then I kind of look at, 'Okay, why are we factionalized and fighting each other? Like, why do we have different skin colors?' And we can always say, 'Okay, well, we grew up in the sun over here, and these people grew up in the snow, and we needed more melatonin. I don't know. I mean, obviously, those things probably are true, too. But I'm just spitballing. "But if something was here to create an ecosystem to rapidly evolve our DNA, but they couldn't force it, it had to be done by free will because free will might be a really weird hallmark of physics that we don't understand yet, that has...it's in the consciousness category. Once we plug consciousness into like, Einstein, and Newtonian physics and stuff, it all kind of works together. But maybe there's this weird fundamental piece of consciousness that free will matters. So you created a very, very advanced, fast-tracked ecosystem of life, to be evolving at a rapid pace through free choice, but you're in spiritual conquest, and like, all these different things. That makes a lot of sense. "And then you're kind of like, 'Well, why?' Well, maybe it's more like what all of the ancient texts talk about. It's that these forms of consciousness can't come into this realm, naturally, but they can come through our bodies. Like through possession or abduction, and like, there's a way where people are hearing voices in their head, and like your brain's tuning into different types of consciousnesses that exist or something. And that's like the big game. "And those have been written about in the Bible forever. And same with the Quran, and same with the Egyptian Book of the Dead, and same with the Gnostic texts. It's been...there's these things trying to come through, but they can't come through naturally unless our bodies are prepared for them. And how do you do that? How do you detach a body from its prime, its main source? I mean, maybe you do it through fear and war and famine and anger, and things that make you less evolved as a person. And I think that, to me, seems a lot more realistic than something coming here trying to just take water or mineral ore. Or like, you know, like, just dumb shit that you wouldn't need. Like, they need our resources. I don't know if they need our resources like that. If they have craft that travel through time, I doubt they need more plutonium, you know?" Semivan: "Yeah." DeLonge: "But if they need something that's so advanced, like consciousness itself, then how do they grab that, and how do they take that? How do they manipulate that? You know, I was always struck by that old saying, jealous of God, you know, Satan, Lucifer and his demons or fallen angels were jealous of God's love for mankind. Jealous of our immortal soul, our immortal tether, our unified love source. You know, we have this thing where like, maybe we don't die, maybe our physical body is just a shell, just a container. But maybe they don't have that, you know? "So maybe this way of an AI system - it's synthetic and organic - it's trying to figure out how to plug into our physical body, how to be a part of our immortality, how to share our consciousness, our conscious experience in this realm. And they're not supposed to be here. So how do you do that? Over thousands and thousands of years, you create a rapidly-evolving ecosystem that's full of the war and pain and suffering, and we have to make free will choices just to survive. And we're rapidly evolving to prepare our bodies into a way to where they can start to come in. And maybe to prepare it, it's to lose our sense of self and love and oneness and humanity, you know? Where we think it's a good idea to go to war and kill a bunch of people. We think it's a good idea to do a bunch of drugs and end up on the streets. We think it's a good idea to murder your spouse and f*cking light the place on fire. We start to lose our sense of humanity because then your physical body becomes a little bit less empty and has space for a new energy system. You know, this is where my mind goes with this stuff because I just don't think it's gonna be this tactile, physical, like, simple answer, like, 'They're just here to steal our nuclear power (laughs),' you know? I think it's gonna be super, super, super far down the road." Semivan: "I tend to agree with you. I think the reality - and I think this is probably one of the reasons why the government is very reluctant to talk about this publicly. From what I hear, and what I know, it's an extraordinarily complex phenomenon. And you were just explaining to it. I mean, everything you said, I mean, there may be people who disagree with what you're saying, but honest to God, I wouldn't discount it at all. One thing I do wanna ask you, though, is you, you know, this whole idea of religion being created as a guide for people to move them in a certain direction. You're not saying, for example, that we don't have free will, right? Or are you saying that?" DeLonge: "No, no, I'm saying the opposite. I'm saying that we have free will and religions were created to contain it."](https://image.24vids.com/tw-1760727739211075688/amplify_video_thumb/1760510656498012160/img/pdz-Q0_O2ovdnvxq.jpg)
![patrick walters and fisayo akinade talk about joe locke and kit connor’s roles as executive producers on “heartstopper forever”: patrick: “joe’s just very like, ‘i’m just gonna get on with the job.’ he’s very clever, he’s very analytical; if he’s got a question, he’ll ask it, but he’s not, you know—he’s sort of to the point in a way. kit is completely different, and in a really complementary way, where kit really likes to talk about it—you know, everything in detail—and likes to get under the skin of stuff, and really, so that they’re kind of chalk and cheese in the rehearsals, when we’re in rehearsals with them for each season, but like together they really sort of trust each other. so them coming on as executive producers, it felt like they were like a team, and where they could help [alice oseman] and i just to go, ‘hey, like this is what we think about this.’ it was really brilliant to feel like they were sort of incentivized to do that part.” fisayo: “i think a lot of the cast, we really benefited from kit and joe’s sort of additional perspective on things. it really helped to contextualize a lot of things that we, that had been maybe like niggling at us for years. and it was, yeah, they were really amazing. it was a really kind of like quite a beautiful, generous decision you made. and it was like deeply beneficial to all of us.” 🎥: kitschain on twitter](https://image.24vids.com/tw-2038293037479026731/amplify_video_thumb/2038291819008512000/img/8nuv6JoQ941SQT_X.jpg)

Where someone will speak up and throw in a joke, or someone will be a bit more sort of like mature and wise in what they say. I think like those car conversations were really important. It was a lucky happen stance of just filming where I had this intention. It's like how much can you just make a film like truly verité without relying on interviews and talking head interviews. And you know we we were driving with Jin to the beach actually and Jin just started talking to us. I just wanted him to kind of like be pensive look outside or Just like capture that moment of of going to the beach. But then he just started talking about how he felt and I was like oh these car rides sort of like confessionals for the members and through each. These car rides you get like a distinct sort of answer. I would ask the same question and see how each of them would answer differently. So that was like a nice baseline to see how they were reacting differently to to what was happening in their lives and who they were and who they were changing into in the military and etc. #JIN #방탄소년단진 방탄소년단 AsianFeed netflix⁷](https://image.24vids.com/tw-2038212603785461966/amplify_video_thumb/2038209265291378688/img/8pN9AEsBkG9NWtdl.jpg)
