This guy is pretty nuts. Half of what he says seems pretty prescient the other half is completely insane. Insane for talking about theory? This is 2012, get with the program, or get left behind like the rest of the dinosaurs. P.S. Yes, Duncan is high. No, Duncan does not believe everything he is saying,(probably almost none of it) he's just trying to get people to think abstractly. I have to say you are a bit gullible if you actually think the things Duncan says are sensical or have any purpose. See you just missed the whole point. There's no point in discussing these things with autists. Not really. You think Duncan actually has a purpose with his words, which is to get people to think abstractly. I'm telling you he just has brain damage. Duncan is probably a bit "brain-damaged" from your perspective. However, a lot of what he speaks has truth in the basis. The ideas behind what he talks about are more for abstraction, and thought-provoking concepts. They're not for people to hang on his every word like it's the truth. Why not sit down for a moment and conceptualize with him instead of closing the door and citing his "insanity" or "brain damage" as the root cause for his "blabber."
No, he isn't a deep thinker and what he's saying isn't thought-provoking or new. You've bought into the notion that this sort of drivel has worth, it doesn't, its a series of inconsequential words without real purpose or meaning.
edit: Kind of like how Artosis "humored him" for lack of a better term, on the concept of God, as he is an Atheist. Artosis ENGAGED IN CONVERSATION and an exchange of intellectual ideas.[/QUOTE]

Duncan Trussell is brilliant, and the things he's interested about are fascinating.

Agreed. I exited out of it when he started talking about how Jesus was the Atari. I mean in the very beginning he talks about how he was on a psychedelic adventure in the desert and was downloading processes from the universe. I also completely disagree with his assessment on how the public views video gaming. Gaming is very mainstream now.
In hindsight the rant at 7:10 - 8:00 minute mark should of been an indication to turn it off then.

I don't see why you wouldn't just look at that the same you would look at someone talking about religion. Is it logical? No, but that doesn't mean that there's absolutely no value in it. Just accept that that's his perspective in life and, by the way, I'm sure that you have irrational and emotion-based beliefs as well, they just aren't as obvious at first.

Didn't really enjoy this, as well. The ideas this guy talks about are interesting in a philosophical context but a laymen talking about them just sounds stupid. Leave it to the experts. Also there was very little actual Starcraft related content. I really had high hopes for this but it didn't deliver for me. When I heard that this guy was a comedian I thought this podcast would be extremely funny since Artosis is also quite the humorous fellow. But on that front it was quite disappointing, too. Except of course for the Bowling rant. That was actually hilarious.

I really enjoyed this podcast, it was very entertaining

The fact that he turned it off right after the atari joke (which was probably the best thing he said the entire show) tells me that he suffers from the usual irrational and emotion-based beliefs. You know, Christianity.
Anyways, the guy is obviously not super intelligent. His ideas about God aren't really profound and it seems like his argument isn't that any sort of God exists but more that there probably exists lifeforms that humans would mistake for gods. Not a terrible argument, but something he could definitely be clearer about (he probably isn't extremely clear to himself). I like the guy, he is at least interested in a lot of genuinely interesting things (the singularity, nature, cosmology etc), even if his grasp of the subjects is admittedly shallow and lead him to some incorrect conclusions. Better than not being interested at all IMO (like some people in this thread).

Well put. The best thing about Duncan is his excitement. I like the fact that he's excited enough about the ideas that he can barely keep his thoughts on track.

This was incredible, I'm going to try to spread it around as much as I can, really good stuff
|
WTF is this shit... Listening to it right now, can't wait until Artosis gets on because that guy talking by himself is nuts!
|
Can't recommend this enough, the host is super funny and they talk about everything you want to hear and more.. I'm going to have to look up this Duncan guy because he is real chill
|
people are taking every thing Duncan says way way to seriously, hes a comic and is always trying to add humor to things
lighten up people

Seems like a very funny and plenty intelligent guy to me.
Enjoyed the podcast ^^
Come on, the universe is infinite so there must be a God? Did he think that's original clever thought?
First the universe isn't infinite, I don't know how many people think it is but anyone that has had a calculus course knows the difference between a very large number and infinity. Second the logic he uses to get to the point of God existing is flawed at best.
As little as I want to turn this thread into a God debate I'm confused how anyone can really view him as intelligent. He seems like a nice enough fellow but he's not someone people should be looking to for directing their thought process.

To be fair its upsetting when a guy I really like says he couldn't be friends with someone like me just because of what I believe. It breaks the 4th wall, if you will, because I'd love to go to an event one day and have the chance of buying him a drink.

Sorry I didn't see all the podcast but what do you believe in that would prevent you and Artosis from being friends?
