Joe Rogan just opened up about discussing the thought of human existence with his wife and kids!

In an episode of The Joe Rogan Experience, the popular American podcaster discussed the topic in detail with comedian and Fear Factor host Andrew Schulz.

"How do you really feel about this world that we're living in, this world that seems more and more like it's not real? More and more like it's a f***ing simulation," Rogan said to Schulz, emphasizing that the world we are living in has become kind of 'computer generated.'

Diving deep into the topic, Rogan noted that there is much more to the world than what meets the human eye and spoke about human consciousness and energies.

"There's something more to reality than what meets the eye, there's more to it than what you can put on a scale, or what you can put a ruler to," Rogan said to Shulz. "There's more to this thing. This thing's made out of, like, some very bizarre energy that's attached to consciousness, that's what I think."

To this, Schulz smirked and asked Rogan to elaborate on the thought. Rogan explained that a day will come when humanity will achieve a simulation that will be indiscernible from reality.

"It's inevitable that one day they will achieve a simulation that is indiscernible from reality. No doubt about it. They've gotten real close."

On hearing this, Schulz asked multiple questions on topics like the progression of technology and modern technology transcending human reality. He also wondered how humanity knows that this hasn't already happened and whether we are already living in a simulated world.

Schulz also asked Rogan about discussing the topic of human existence with his children and wife, to which Rogan responded that it would be weird to do that.

Further elaborating on his wife Ditzel's opinion on the matter, Rogan answered Schulz and said, "You know my wife! She will probably say that is a weird thing to talk about." He also added that he and Ditzel don’t usually indulge in too many deep conversations.

"If she wants to talk about something like that, she'll bring it up. Like if she wants to talk about something heavy, it's not like I wouldn't talk about something heavy with her, but generally, like I come home from work, she's been with the kids, she's doing this and that, we eat dinner, we have fun, 'How was school?,' have a good time, maybe we'll watch a Severance together," Rogan elaborated about their routine.

Who is Joe Rogan's wife?
