Joe Rogan Agrees With $220 Billion Worth Elon Musk’s Concern on Population Collapse but Wants No Government Involvement – ‘That’s Never Good’

Joe Rogan feels humans may head toward a population implosion. In the recent episode of his very popular podcast, ‘The Joe Rogan Experience’, he expressed his views while talking to Maynard James Keenan. The two had a long conversation, and they discussed a variety of topics.

Talking about urban populations, Rogan insisted that people in urban areas were obsessed with their careers. As a result, they didn’t want kids.

He said, “It is happening in some places apparently like japan is having issues with that right now. … The thought is that people are having so few children that ultimately at one point in time we are going to see a population decline and its gonna be sort of implosion like Elon has actually talked about that. The importance of having children.”

Maynard James Keenan, however, didn’t look too impressed with this theory. He asked if there was an established logic to it. Thus, he said, “I am sure there is a mathematician out there who can say ok for every person. How many kids should I have? One, two? If between my wife and I, there is two kids, is that enough?”

This is when Joe Rogan suggested a population decline saying “seems like enough, but if you only have one then naturally you gonna have a decline, two people have one kid you got a decline. That’s a lot of what going on and maybe some people are not having kids at all.”

“They are so dedicated to their careers.” Maynard actually seemed to understand the theory. He suggested a voucher system of sorts to decide on the number of children a person can have. Rogan, however, laughed it off. His opinion being it would be nice if the government started telling people what to do and what not to do.

“That’s never good,” said Rogan.

Joe Rogan’s claim backed by Elon Musk

Billionaire entrepreneur and science pioneer, Elon Musk, once shared a similar view. Musk, who is currently sitting at a net worth of $220 billion, shared his views on population collapse at an AI conclave in 2019. He claimed it was an assumption that artificial intelligence would have a benevolent future.

He further said the ‘biggest threat to human kind’ in the next couple of decades would be a population collapse.

People have been discussing ways to deal with a population explosion in the past few decades. Hence, it’s interesting to see the conversation being shifted to a population implosion in the coming future. Whether or not to have kids is clearly a debate that will go on for some time. Which side are you on?
