I Love how shocked and genuine Dan is when Rick asked about Common sense. It's one of the reasons why it is such a good podcast / Radio show to listen to even now.

Seconded!

This conversation reminds me so much of a book called "The War of Art" by Steven Pressfield. He LOVES talking about 'the muse' as a very real creative force that drives us. From his blog: "“The Muse,” as I imagine her, is the collective identity of the nine goddesses, sisters, daughters of Zeus and Mnemosyne (Memory), whose charge it is to inspire artists. Other names for this mysterious force might be the Unconscious, the Self, the Quantum Soup. Whatever it is, it represents the unseen dimension of Potentiality that is either within us or beyond us. It’s where ideas come from."

i think in pressfields Alexander the Great books, he mentions, and its prevalent in greek history, the idea of a daemon or daemos... another self or version of your soul that is revealed during times of great peace or stress.

you guys may be my favorite 2 people in the world. thank you so much

I really enjoyed this conversation. You are very good at interviews, a great conversationalist, great at bringing interesting things out of the other person. Have been a listener for years, and really appreciate your mega episodes.

My guy Dan, Everyday you drop is a good day. Thanks sir.

This guest is fortunate to have such a pleasant voice, which will have people soothed into a lack of critical thought.

Thank you Dan, a great interview with Rick. Very informative podcast. I learned a lot and new ways to think. Awesome as all of your videos are. Thanks for sharing, I appreciate it. You always make me want to listen to next podcast

February 14, 2023. It was 5:15 p.m., I was heavily invested in….something. I was alerted to a new Hardcore History ADDENDUM and immediately commenced my attention to the contents. To those who happen upon these lessons in observation I implore the same course of action.

Well said @TxRedMan! Great point. On February 14th, 2023 @ 3:33p.m. I lost my Mom at 63 years young. My observations created a whole new book of lessons of creativity which in due time will teach me a way of being, living, accepting the concepts of life & the many ways it is lived. I hope that makes sense.

Dan is so great at interviews. You can tell that his guests enjoy conversing with him.

You, sir, just saved my lonely Valentine's Day. Thank you.

I really liked the discussion of consensus reality and the balkanization of content. More isn't necessarily better.

Great stuff!Listened again.

Dan Carlin and Rick Rubin. This is a matchup made in heaven!

I loved the wandering of this conversation

An unimaginably amplifying discussion.

Dan keeping up with my addiction to his show.. 🤘🏽

Great Conversation! thank you

Rick fkin' Ruben?!! You never disappoint, Dan! Thank you!

This conversation really should have a million views

thanks for the show

2 of my favorite ppl, talking for 2 hrs.... Win - win !

"It's something but I don't know that I would call it art." well put!

Oh man, Rick Rubin on Dan Carlin! Yessssss❤❤❤

Seen Dan on old episode JRE last year sometime. Have listened to almost all Hardcore History on Spotify and some of this on KZread. It’s all been great, wish I had a history teacher like this when I was in school, but I still haven’t found the one episode I went looking for originally that JRE & Dan talked about lol

Oh shit, I was waiting so long for this, there goes my Friday night.

I'm glad you guys wandered onto the subject of AI art. I've been an artist my whole life, and have worked as a professional artist for over 20 years. AI is something i've added to my toolbox only in the past year. And i've spent a great deal of time since then advocating for it. AI doesn't create anything based on creative volition. It has no intention. It's code. A program. It doesn't wake up in the morning and decide; I HAVE to make images of space vikings today. It's people who do that. Ideas begin with people. Creators. The assumption that people who use AI art are not artists or are not fundamentally creative is inherently false. In general, i think it is people who are already familiar with digital media and/or have a strong art foundation who are making the most out of this new tool. But besides that, i take great joy in seeing AI creations from people who do not have ANY sort of art education or experience, and are suddenly enabled to see their ideas wrought in vibrant detail. I agree that beauty is in the eye of the beholder. An idea is either interesting or it isn't. An image or a piece of music either moves you or it doesn't. Is it art? Is a painting made by an elephant or gorilla really art? The circular arguments and dialogue following such questions are often less interesting to me than the work itself. Let creators create. If a medium jives with you, go with it. The energy which drives that process is just another manifestation of the muse. Ai art is not spawned by some malevolent alien intelligence making decisions in some anti-humanist void. It's a collaboration between creators and software designers based off of collective visual experience and ideas. No artist ever worked in a void, independent of all our predecessors. We've always been informed and inspired by everything around us. It's our individual filters which either make 'new' ideas interesting or not. Let's also please not forget that ALL tools, all machines, be they a paintbrush and oils, or cameras and photoshop, are also themselves the product of human creativity and ingenuity. They exist to enable others with varying skillsets. It's all entirely a vast human endeavor.

I hear a lot of people refer to generated images as a tool. But isn't it closer to a technique? A tool you can use haphazardly or carefully, you can improve the way you use it over time, you can use it in novel ways, but there is nothing happening in generating an image, there is no communication between you and the neural network, there is no expression once you have given it a string it understands and weighted the inputs accordingly. It's out of your hands, you have put down the tool before you ever get anything back. Paintbrushes, oils, I wonder if they ever needed advocating for? Unfortunately the ingenuity that led to the development of these systems cannot be disentangled from the enormous profit motive and indiscriminate rush to market it was created in. If the work is more interesting to you, I wonder do you use the tool more or less than when you first started Experimenting? In my experience beyond "what model?" And "what prompt?" There are no questions left to be asked of generated images. After months of research and experimentation looking at tens of thousands of generated images, one can't help but lose the sense of awe that comes from the accidental moments of interest when it becomes clear that without a method or intent, the only one with anything to bring to the experience is the viewer.

Thanks Dan!!!

To people of the future. Yes we realize how messed up things are in our time

When you talk about creativity it makes me think of what bob Dylan said about a lot of his early songs and great hits. I’m paraphrasing but he said, who knows where that stuff came from. That it kinda just sprang and flowed from his mind in an almost magical way. That he couldn’t recreate those moments or those songs if he tried.

thank you

When you guys talked audiobooks and voice actors for some reason I heard Kevin Conroy saying, "I am vengeance; I am the night; I am DAN CARLIN!"

For Rick Rubin and anybody who is interested, probably the best versions of early medieval ecclesiastical music is Ensemble Organum. Eastern Orthodox music is another story but I highly recommend : Sergei Rachmaninov - USSR Ministry of Culture Chamber Choir, Valeri Polyansky - Vespers Op. 37.

This is the greatest podcast ever made. Ever.

To Rick, I hear you about Classical. It’s why I’m always hesitant about purchasing Classical. Check out The Feelies version of Paint It Black.

There are two things that I really love....the red hot chili peppers and hardcore history. now I have a bridge between that seemingly endless chasm. what reality have I found myself in?

Yessss!

Dan Carlin I love you

A hardcore history show that’s 80% as good as the best show is still miles above everything else

My best friend does a lot of freelance art and writing work, his biggest concern right now is the Wizards of the Coast license, and how many fantasy artists are going to be out of work now, thus affecting the flow and effect of that specific economy.

"my mom used to say, there's only two things in life tht are constant... change and change" Lyfe Jennings

Dan used cutting a forest down as an example of changing people and compared it to what a Neanderthal would do. Dan, please investigate the history of man's use of trees. The products produced are timeless and extremely useful. Today scientific forest management can grow forests forever.

May want to mention folks like Don Lemon or Ibram X. Kendi as "heat" generators, too. Have you no shame" might be a good question for the currently ruling elite, and not just its critics.

Exile was early 70’s. France, after The Stones left England, to escape the excessive taxation.

Wow I knew Rick was making the circuit but Carlin? Just awesome.

12:37 I feel like Rick is talking about TOOL. Especially, with Maynard’s comments about Fear Inoculate.

Much love!

Welp I know what I will be listening to at work.

This was timely for me.

Creativity 101

Fuck yes

YAY DAN!!!!!!!! thnx for the hat!

peak radio in 2023

Woo-hoo. Perfect timing, get me through the rest of this dumb cyclone

I wonder how self-conscious Dan is about being modern homer

Never been this early but I always love a good Carlin HH

Thank you God, a 3 hour addendum 🙏🙏🙏

Consider Colligwood's opinion on magic expressed in Principles of Art.

Around 2:19:20 , Rick talked About being vegan - I went vegan for a few years, and I felt better & lost weight during that period, but I still went back to carnivorous ways; I debate on going back to pseudo vegan, maybe eating mostly just healthy vegetables, and some meat, like fish only, something like that.

Damn... Just saw my alert. Its 10:11 and I just put a K cup in the Kuerig. My wife looked at me and said "coffee so late?" I told her Dan Carlin just arrived.

How the mighty have fallen.😢

Heck yes

Cube exercise is at 1:50:01

Around @2:45:00 Borneo divided into 3 countries, Malaysia being one of them and a huge chunk of the raw commodity that is produced by the labor of many indigenous ,while the capital of much of the commercial farming ( especially palm oil ; product of a minority of large scale, land owning commercial farmers with those uncannily equidistant palm trees that one can endlessly see on a bus ride from Kinabalu to Sandikan); so maybe the tin-roofed poor class inhabitants are about as responsible for Borneo’s depletion of its diversity of wilderness as we the consumers of this globally, made into &, traded commodity.

I don't know if you care Dan. it's always been this way

44:51 no books about creativity in 2015? The War of Art by steven pressfield 2012. He also writes period fiction about ancient Greece and idolises the muse ,you should have him on.

As a preforming musician for over 40 years I think back at bands and places I played in the 70's and I can remember the set list, the night of the week I played there, the time of year, the weather........ect...... It is like that time and place are frozen in time, or Amber,

2:25:00 You're thinking of Giordano Bruno

John Richard Boyd.

The thing i would like Rick to know about AI art and personal filters is that they're still very much connected. If me and 5 other artist friends compare our AI output, it is very very easy to tell who produced which images. Because our personalities, interests and creative focus are all different. We are going to pursue different topics, and have different ideas we wish to explore. Therein lies the problem with thinking of AI art as not being the product of very personal creative energy. It always comes across to me as helping people to be more in touch with their own internal narratives.

The problem with that argument is that the images you're producing from the AI are all scraped from real artwork. It can only produce what it's already seen.

@robertcavanna789

​@@BsERoss 'It can only produce what it's already seen.' -partially, true. But ALL artists also create based on what they have seen. How do you think artists learn? By looking at things and studying them closely. If i sit down to make a drawing of a horse, i'm looking at maybe 5-10 hand-picked images for reference. The AI looks at hundreds of thousands of images. Now i also may have past experience studying horse anatomy, but again that comes from looking and research. (That knowledge also remains useful for correcting frequent AI mistakes). I have programmed myself to understand horses. And i have done it by looking at images of horses. I do not see machine learning as all that different. I use midjourney, and the algorithm is designed specifically not to copy any one piece of art directly. In many ways, it has more safeguards than people. I've also fed it images of my own artwork, trying to replicate my style, and it can't come close to simulating my particular aesthetics. But back to your original point; i think it's more accurate to say that AI produces BASED on what it has seen. AI is more than capable of creating original imagery -making something utterly new. If my friend made an aboriginal post-human hybrid with MJ, i guarantee that you will not find an exact duplicate of that image anywhere. We've tested this extensively. Is it possible to make utterly derivative art with AI? Absolutely. But that doesn't make it interesting or useful.Pop culture has been flooded with derivative art long before AI came around. IMO, the best stuff is always going to come from those willing to explore uncharted territory. And AI can be very useful to that end.

YES

here we go again. i dont need sleep right now anyway

Big fan of Rick's work, but I can't sit through another 2+ hour interview of him.

dude wth? i'm 40 minutes in and they've limited themselves to talk about how great they both are.

Refik Anadol is an AI creator with creations at MOMA and more.

Heard customers talking about this podcast at the steakhouse I work at. I had to tell them ima listener as well. Hopefully he’s seeing this comment lol.

nice

Nice :)

Rick Rubin? Nice

Oh shit

Rick Rubin would put a Valium to sleep.

I find it interesting that Rick and Dan's issue is they don't beleive a tax would be effective in redistributing the wealth, when I have the exact opposite problem, I don't beleive there is any incentibe strong enough to guarantee any rich dude is gonna renounce ghe wealth they have accumulated

Today is tomorrow's history.

Hello

Mccarthy was right … ur current view is the crazy one dan

holy shit

Not my cup of tea but I support Dan and the channel

Man this triggers some serious da-sha vue ish nastalga

9:11 So, Rick Rubin creates all of these masterpieces of media, and when he’s done he doesn’t re-listen. He is so consumed with “new material”, that he doesn’t have the time, or the interest, in the maturing of his work. Is his creativity an impulsive, or compulsive manifestation?
