Is it just me, or did schizo Terrance Howard describe Mach's Origin of Inertia through the lens of a rotating universe without every mentioning Mach or inertia? I listened for about an hour, and it doesn't sound like he's a schizo, more like he lacks the terminology to describe what he is thinking. Pretty weird overall. This is also not the first time I have heard the weird periodic table referenced.

There are two possibilities anon, I'm going to describe them both and you can weigh the likelihood yourself.
1. A Hollywood actor with no qualifications has parsed some divine knowledge or higher understanding of the function of the universe using equations and shapes simple enough for a five year old to understand (his little plastic thing, 1*0=1, etc)
2. A man who was frequently described by his colleagues as behaving in a way that denotes clinical narcissism has built up a fictional world where he is the smartest and most correct guy ever, and he has the money and platform from a completely separate endeavor that allows him to talk about it loudly.
Anyone who else dealt closely with a truly narcissistic person recognizes his behavior for what it is. It isn't schizo like >>16186174 says, he hasn't had a psychotic break or anything so he is completely coherent. But he is detached from reality in a way that leaves no room for argument.

>It's simple; they treat "aether" like the N word, so I treat "Quantum" like the buzzword it is.
A meaningless buzzword that doesn't refer to anything, or is used in conjunction with other words that do have a meaning to make up for its lack of meaning.

Yeah making a vaguely philosophical statement because you don't understand the underpinning data is the sort of thing I'm talking about there. That doesn't mean anything or have anything to with anything and if you could conceive of the fact that you may not know something then you wouldn't be embarrassing yourself like this

I made it about 16 minutes before I couldn't stomach it any more. The whole "I remember the womb" things was retarded yet fun, but when he got into the periodic table, that's when I knew it was complete horse shit.

It was an entertaining episode but I was shocked to see Joe Rogan eating all of this up. All these "WOW", "if you're right, then that changes everything...", "I think I'll have to watch this podcast 40 times to fully understand it" seriously?
I read in Elon Musk biography that his abusive father Errol claims he "solved" randomness and can predict any event because he knows how to notice patterns in nature. According to him nothing is random, people (except him of course) are just too stupid to grasp it. That sounds like a perfect guest for Joe then lmao, he'd be just as impressed as with Terrence.

It would be if he did it on purpose. But his claims that he's studying this shit for 40 years seem to be correct - he has too much knowledge of random science facts and jargon and history of different thinkers and he's too consistent in his narrative just to be trolling.
