Hotep Jesus origin story, spiritual awakening, and social-media status games
- HSHotep Jesus (Bryan Sharpe)
(humming) Two, one, boom. (hands slamming) Hotep Jesus. How are you, sir?
- JVJamie Vernon
(laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
(laughs)
- HSHotep Jesus (Bryan Sharpe)
I always wanted to say that. I wanted to call somebody that. I need that drop.
- JRJoe Rogan
How the fuck did you get a name like Hotep Jesus? How'd that come about?
- HSHotep Jesus (Bryan Sharpe)
It wasn't my idea. You know, I was, uh, I had just went through my, uh, spiritual awakening.
- JRJoe Rogan
Oh, shit.
- HSHotep Jesus (Bryan Sharpe)
I just left the hip hop industry, and I went through, like, that Mase thing, you know, where you go to church after-
- JRJoe Rogan
What are you doing with the headgear? We, we got, you got a lot going on up there.
- JVJamie Vernon
(laughs)
- HSHotep Jesus (Bryan Sharpe)
I had to tie my hair down. This is a Black thing, man. I got school you on that. (laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
So you had a-
- HSHotep Jesus (Bryan Sharpe)
So-
- JRJoe Rogan
... spiritual awakening.
- HSHotep Jesus (Bryan Sharpe)
Yeah, I had this spiritual awakening, and I'm, you know, tweeting on Twitter like I do.
- JRJoe Rogan
Right.
- HSHotep Jesus (Bryan Sharpe)
And, uh, somebody said, "What do you think you are? Some kind of Hotep Jesus?"
- JRJoe Rogan
Ooh, that's good.
- HSHotep Jesus (Bryan Sharpe)
And I was just like, "Ooh, that's sexy."
- JRJoe Rogan
(laughs)
- HSHotep Jesus (Bryan Sharpe)
"Yes, I do think I'm Hotep Jesus."
- JRJoe Rogan
That's perfect, and now you own it.
- HSHotep Jesus (Bryan Sharpe)
Now I own it.
- JRJoe Rogan
That per- that person is probably like, "Fuck!"
- HSHotep Jesus (Bryan Sharpe)
(laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
"Goddammit, that was a great name I gave that dude."
- HSHotep Jesus (Bryan Sharpe)
Yeah, I don't know who that person is or was, or where they are now, but-
- JRJoe Rogan
Shout out to whoever you are.
- HSHotep Jesus (Bryan Sharpe)
Exactly.
- JRJoe Rogan
And Vibe High, your Twitter, why didn't you switch it to Hotep Jesus? Can you switch it?
- 1:35 – 6:46
Free speech vs. platform control: advertisers, algorithms, and taboo topics
- JRJoe Rogan
They're, they're weird, man. They want, I mean, I think all social media, all tech companies want you to toe a line right now. And if you're not towing that line, and you bring on forbidden guests, and you have people that have controversial ideas, you know, they, they have that finger on the button of getting rid of you. They don't know what to do.
- HSHotep Jesus (Bryan Sharpe)
It's just like radio.
- JRJoe Rogan
Mm-hmm.
- HSHotep Jesus (Bryan Sharpe)
You know? Like radio, uh, a lot of people don't know it, but radio has to play happy songs, 'cause happy people buy things. Um-
- JRJoe Rogan
Really?
- HSHotep Jesus (Bryan Sharpe)
Yeah, that's... Well, that's what the studies say, allegedly. The marketing studies and advertising studies say people who are in a good mood tend to buy things, right? So, the radio is supposed to play happy songs all day long. And the radio works for the advertisers, kinda like media, you know-
- JRJoe Rogan
Right.
- HSHotep Jesus (Bryan Sharpe)
... so on and so forth, so social media's no different. They have advertisers. So if there's people on the platform who are creating disgruntled crowds, it could be hurting the bottom line.
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah, but Facebook's algorithm actually favors that. The way Facebook has it set up, like say if-
- HSHotep Jesus (Bryan Sharpe)
Mm-hmm.
- JRJoe Rogan
... if you, uh, if you get into debates with people on abortion, or something, like, very controversial, they will start sending that shit to your feed. They will, they will prop... It, it will, it will, they'll sort of steer it in your direction. Because the more you engage, the more clicks they get, the more money they get, the more advertising dollars they get.
- HSHotep Jesus (Bryan Sharpe)
Absolutely. Absolutely. Uh, the Facebook algorithm is quite unique in, uh, the way that things can go viral there. Um, Twitter, I feel like, uh, the, the Twitter safety and counsel board-
- JRJoe Rogan
Hmm. Yeah, what do they call it? Trust and safety?
- HSHotep Jesus (Bryan Sharpe)
Yeah, is that what it's called?
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah, something like that.
- HSHotep Jesus (Bryan Sharpe)
Yeah, so when I go and look at the entities that contribute to that board, I kinda start seeing, oh, okay, I see why certain topics are taboo.
- JRJoe Rogan
Mm-hmm.
- HSHotep Jesus (Bryan Sharpe)
You know? Um, there's... When you ha- when there's a board, those people on the board are the voice.
- JRJoe Rogan
Mm-hmm.
- HSHotep Jesus (Bryan Sharpe)
They're the ones that have the opinion, you know? So if your group isn't represented, maybe you need to figure out how to get on that board. You know what I mean?
- JRJoe Rogan
Right, I don't know if anybody's getting on that board. (laughs)
- HSHotep Jesus (Bryan Sharpe)
No, it's not gonna happen. It's not gonna happen.
- JRJoe Rogan
And you better be left-wing if you're gonna get on that board.
- HSHotep Jesus (Bryan Sharpe)
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
Just, I don't think there's any right-wing people-
- HSHotep Jesus (Bryan Sharpe)
But do you think, like-
- JRJoe Rogan
... on that board.
- HSHotep Jesus (Bryan Sharpe)
... is... I think Jack's more, like, in the middle, right?
- JRJoe Rogan
Yes.
- HSHotep Jesus (Bryan Sharpe)
I think he's closer to the middle. I don't think it's Jack. I think it's... You know, Jack's working on a bunch of different projects.
- 6:46 – 12:28
Quarantines, provocateurs, and search manipulation: Reddit to YouTube
- HSHotep Jesus (Bryan Sharpe)
But I mean, you look at YouTube, right? And what, what's been happening with YouTube, uh, even just the algorithm. You know, uh, I'm pretty good with keywords. I do SEO and marketing. So when I type in certain keywords or fr- find certain things, I know what's gonna come up or what type of content comes up. Now, when I type in those keywords, it's like A-B-C, N-B-C-
- JRJoe Rogan
Mm-hmm.
- HSHotep Jesus (Bryan Sharpe)
... A-B-C, C-N-N. And I'm like, "That's not what I wanted." They, they don't even talk about these keywords.
- JRJoe Rogan
Right.
- HSHotep Jesus (Bryan Sharpe)
What are you talking about? (laughs) You know?
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah.
- HSHotep Jesus (Bryan Sharpe)
So when you start seeing that, you start thinking about Ingsoc and Orwell and 1984-
- JRJoe Rogan
Mm-hmm.
- HSHotep Jesus (Bryan Sharpe)
... and socialism and communism and fascism and, uh, the degradation of society. And, um, uh, a lot of control coming down. Um, you know, people, uh... You know, in some ways it's like, was the internet created for freedom or was it contr- created for control, right? So th- there's two different pathways we could probably look at there, but it seems like, in many ways, they set us up to be controlled. And they're doing it through monopolies. Google controls search, through YouTube and Google, and by what you search, you can think it's the truth, but what did Kanye say? Kanye said Google lied to you.
- JRJoe Rogan
Mm.
- HSHotep Jesus (Bryan Sharpe)
You know? So-
- JRJoe Rogan
Kanye says a lot of crazy shit, though. You gotta really think about that. (laughs)
- HSHotep Jesus (Bryan Sharpe)
He does. And I like crazy.
- JRJoe Rogan
(coughs) I do, too. I'm a big fan of crazy.
- HSHotep Jesus (Bryan Sharpe)
I'm a little crazy. A lot of crazy sometimes.
- JRJoe Rogan
(laughs)
- HSHotep Jesus (Bryan Sharpe)
So I appreciate his crazy side more than his calm side.
- JRJoe Rogan
Hm. Well, great things come from wild thoughts.
- HSHotep Jesus (Bryan Sharpe)
Right. Exactly.
- JRJoe Rogan
I think the internet was i- initially created to exchange information and then, when it got loose to the general public, they realized what a crazy idea that was.
- HSHotep Jesus (Bryan Sharpe)
Mm-hmm.
- JRJoe Rogan
What I think we're seeing right now with the algorithms is that these corporations are influencing these companies to say, "Hey, when someone's looking for these things, how about you send them over to ABC? How about you send them over to NBC? How about you..." You know, like, "We want to be able to get the first views on these things."
- HSHotep Jesus (Bryan Sharpe)
Mm.
- JRJoe Rogan
"So if someone's searching for that..." I don't know how they do it. I don't know what they... Uh, whether they have agreements with them, maybe. I mean, there's also a lot of copywritten shit that's on there that could get YouTube in some significant trouble if they ever really decided to pursue it.
- HSHotep Jesus (Bryan Sharpe)
Right.
- JRJoe Rogan
And how many videos are on YouTube that people have on their channel that are just f- straight off of Fox News or NBC News or... I mean, there's a lot of, like, copyright-protected content that-
- HSHotep Jesus (Bryan Sharpe)
Right.
- JRJoe Rogan
... YouTube is essentially profiting off of.
- HSHotep Jesus (Bryan Sharpe)
Oh, yeah. Yeah, they make a ton of money off of that stuff.
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah.
- 12:28 – 21:33
Fighting deplatforming by building alternatives: Bitcoin donations, email lists, and creator sovereignty
- HSHotep Jesus (Bryan Sharpe)
Well, it... You know, I always relate it to the Black community. You know, the Black community always say, "Oh, you know, white people this, white people that, white people this, white people that. They're not giving us opportunity." And it's always like, "Well, is that the only opportunity? Can you not create your own opportunity?" You know what I mean? So I never wanna take a victim mentality and say, "Oh, you know, let's take Google to court." Mm. You know, all this stuff. It's like if you wanna do that, that's fine. That's not how I'm looking at this. I'm looking at it long term, like hooking up with Andrew Torba over at Gab. You know what I mean?
- JRJoe Rogan
Mm-hmm.
- HSHotep Jesus (Bryan Sharpe)
And building tools. So, you know, we do, uh, the coinbitsapp.com. And, uh, creators can actually, um... It's, it's based upon approval right now, but creators can go on there and receive Bitcoin as a donation. You know, so we're circumventing the things that happened, like with the deplatforming at Patreon, right? And the other payment platforms for creators. So we're creating tools to circumvent these things. So, that's how I look at it. I'm like, "Oh, Google's doing this? Great. This is g- a great opportunity here. Let me seize it and let me build it and be, you know, the alternative."
- JRJoe Rogan
Mm.
- HSHotep Jesus (Bryan Sharpe)
You know, I love to see that. Um, is the alternative going to be YouTube and as popular? Of course not. It's just not. But it's still a viable option. You can still communicate with your people. The number one communication tool for an influencer with their, with their, uh, community is email. Build your email list, right? People still subscribe to your email list, right?
- JRJoe Rogan
Mm-hmm.
- HSHotep Jesus (Bryan Sharpe)
That's not YouTube. That's not Google. That's your email list. That's your contact list. So it's like you can complain about YouTube or Google, but you can build your audience almost anywhere. It depends on how powerful you are. Are you powerful enough to convince people to come to this other platform or to wherever you are?
- JRJoe Rogan
Mm.
- HSHotep Jesus (Bryan Sharpe)
A lot of people are powerful enough to pack a room at $2,000 a ticket. You telling me you can't get somebody to go to another platform for free?
- JRJoe Rogan
Who charges $2,000 a ticket?
- HSHotep Jesus (Bryan Sharpe)
Uh, I mean, a lot of these speakers, you know, like the Tony Robbins-type cats.
- JRJoe Rogan
Does this really... He charges 2,000 bucks?
- HSHotep Jesus (Bryan Sharpe)
I think he charges, like, 10. Yeah, I think s- I think some of his stuff is, like, 10.
- JVJamie Vernon
That one sort of surprises me.
- HSHotep Jesus (Bryan Sharpe)
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
But he's doing, like, these week-long events where everybody gets together. "I'm gonna change your life."
- HSHotep Jesus (Bryan Sharpe)
(laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
And he's, like, doing karate kicks and shit.
- HSHotep Jesus (Bryan Sharpe)
Well... (laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
Right?
- HSHotep Jesus (Bryan Sharpe)
(laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
(laughs)
- HSHotep Jesus (Bryan Sharpe)
It's... When you... Well, that's how you get the bigger check.
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah.
- HSHotep Jesus (Bryan Sharpe)
You gotta create a bigger experience.
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah.
- HSHotep Jesus (Bryan Sharpe)
So it's like, "All right, so we'll do a one-day at 2K," right? It's like, "Well, how do I get 10K?" It's like, "Well, let's just extend it for the week and, you know-
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah.
- HSHotep Jesus (Bryan Sharpe)
... add, like, you know, the kickboxing class."
- JRJoe Rogan
(laughs)
- 21:33 – 26:51
Why most platforms are ‘trash’ (except Twitter): product design, incentives, and quitting Instagram
- HSHotep Jesus (Bryan Sharpe)
(laughs) Facebook trash. I've been saying that for like the past decade. Facebook's trash. I stopped using Facebook a decade ago, right? If I used it, it was just like forced, you know what I mean?
- JRJoe Rogan
I use it as a publishing outlet. I- I... When I put tour dates or something like that, I put it on Facebook.
- HSHotep Jesus (Bryan Sharpe)
Right.
- JRJoe Rogan
I don't engage.
- HSHotep Jesus (Bryan Sharpe)
Right, exactly.
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah.
- HSHotep Jesus (Bryan Sharpe)
So, you know, I can- I can respect that. I don't use Instagram. I left it months ago when Farrakhan got kicked off the platform, a bunch of conservatives got kicked off the platform. I'm like, "Oh, I don't need that shit neither." So I left. And also, tr-
- JRJoe Rogan
Did you keep your account, just in case?
- HSHotep Jesus (Bryan Sharpe)
Yeah, absolutely.
- JRJoe Rogan
(laughs)
- HSHotep Jesus (Bryan Sharpe)
Yeah, it's bookmarked. Um, you know, I got a automated bot I'm gonna set up and, or... You know.
- JRJoe Rogan
Oh, okay.
- HSHotep Jesus (Bryan Sharpe)
All that stuff.
- JRJoe Rogan
There you go.
- HSHotep Jesus (Bryan Sharpe)
Yeah. So, you know, F these platforms. We don't need 'em. They're not that great. If you look at the story on Instagram, Instagram was a- a- a- a lucky project. It was serendipitous, right? Basically what happened was, uh, some kids built a project. It was called Instagram. They were working on a whole bunch of other things. Some popular kids started using the platform, it blew up, and then they passed it onto Facebook. From the very inception, I said this is a very trash prod- product. It's just horrible. Horribly curated, right?It- it's so horribly curated that Facebook can't even monetize the platform properly, right? But that's a whole 'nother story. But the platform itself and its functionality is stupid. It's just popular.
- JRJoe Rogan
Well, you know what's weird is like replying to people and reading replies, like what... In the comments. Like you can't even keep up with anything.
- HSHotep Jesus (Bryan Sharpe)
No. No. And you can't get all your notifications. The notifications aren't curated properly. It's just... It's like as if they don't care, right? It's... They don't care, right?
- JRJoe Rogan
Is it that they don't care or is it that it got so big so quick and it's stuck in this format? You'd have to kind of reformat the way it's...
- HSHotep Jesus (Bryan Sharpe)
They don't care.
- JRJoe Rogan
You don't think so?
- HSHotep Jesus (Bryan Sharpe)
They don't care. They don't care. Y- y- if you... If you want to build a product for your user, you can do that. If you want to build a product for advertisers, you can do that. They built the product for advertisers and not for users. If they built it for users, you and I would be able to have a conversation on there.
- JRJoe Rogan
Well, isn't it... Originally, wasn't it TextAmerica? Was that the same thing? Was TextAmerica the original one?
- HSHotep Jesus (Bryan Sharpe)
Mm-hmm.
- JRJoe Rogan
That's the one where I have the picture of the prostitute in the bathroom.
- JVJamie Vernon
You mean like where you would text something to-
- JRJoe Rogan
You'd- you'd send a photo. You send a photo and a text message-
- JVJamie Vernon
Yeah, but it wasn't like-
- JRJoe Rogan
... and it would go off to an internet website.
- JVJamie Vernon
It would be like on a site like Imgur or something. Not like a feed where people would follow you like that, was it?
- JRJoe Rogan
Mm-hmm. No, there was a thing that you would follow...
- 26:51 – 29:27
Twitter as a culture engine: marketing tactics, Giffitize, and building products that do one thing well
- JRJoe Rogan
What do you like so much about Twitter?
- HSHotep Jesus (Bryan Sharpe)
It's, uh, (sighs) it's, it's, it's, it's a perfect platform to crowdsource information, number one. Right?
- JRJoe Rogan
Mm-hmm.
- HSHotep Jesus (Bryan Sharpe)
Um, like you said, without Twitter, w- I wouldn't be sitting here right now. I coulda never got to you on Facebook or Instagram. That woulda never happened.
- JRJoe Rogan
Maybe Instagram. Some of 'em, if, if a friend... Most of it is, like, hey, one of my friends says, "Check out this guy. This guy's cool. This guy's interesting."
- HSHotep Jesus (Bryan Sharpe)
Right.
- JRJoe Rogan
"Maybe you should talk to this guy."
- HSHotep Jesus (Bryan Sharpe)
Okay.
- JRJoe Rogan
That's how it usually happens, and then I'll go to your page and I checked it out and I saw a lot of interesting conversations you were having, and-
- HSHotep Jesus (Bryan Sharpe)
Right.
- JRJoe Rogan
... saw some videos.
- HSHotep Jesus (Bryan Sharpe)
Well, the thing is, Instagram doesn't allow you to see in my heart. They don't allow you to see in the soul. Twitter, I can really connect with people.
- JRJoe Rogan
How come you can't do that on Instagram?
- HSHotep Jesus (Bryan Sharpe)
The algorithm, man. You know, you-
- JRJoe Rogan
Oh, you mean because it hides stuff and stuff? Yeah.
- HSHotep Jesus (Bryan Sharpe)
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
But once you develop a good following, it doesn't really matter. People will go to your page. They'll go look for you.
- HSHotep Jesus (Bryan Sharpe)
But how often... But how often can you post?
- JRJoe Rogan
On Instagram?
- HSHotep Jesus (Bryan Sharpe)
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
How often can you post?
- HSHotep Jesus (Bryan Sharpe)
With, like-
- JRJoe Rogan
Well, you can't do it like Twitter, where you could just do it every couple minutes and-
- HSHotep Jesus (Bryan Sharpe)
You see what I'm saying?
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah. Yeah.
- HSHotep Jesus (Bryan Sharpe)
So, if I wanted to, I could go from deep to where my middle-aged white women at.
- JRJoe Rogan
Right. (laughs)
- HSHotep Jesus (Bryan Sharpe)
(laughs) In 15 minutes' time.
- JRJoe Rogan
Right.
- HSHotep Jesus (Bryan Sharpe)
You know, I can take you deep and then I can make you laugh.
- 29:27 – 33:08
Parenting with ‘edutainment’: twins, personality differences, and the ‘mirror’ method
- HSHotep Jesus (Bryan Sharpe)
It's, it's, you know... So, um, I got kids, so, um, when I, when I teach my kids, it's always through edutainment.
- JRJoe Rogan
Mm-hmm.
- HSHotep Jesus (Bryan Sharpe)
You know, if I can't make my kids laugh while I'm doing my lecture... Every day when they come home from school, or I try to do every day, there's a lecture waiting for them.
- JRJoe Rogan
Oh.
- HSHotep Jesus (Bryan Sharpe)
And we're gonna talk about something real in life.
- JRJoe Rogan
How many kids you have?
- HSHotep Jesus (Bryan Sharpe)
Three. Uh, my daughter's 16 and my boys are, uh, tw- 10. I have twin boys. Uh, Dallas, Phoenix, and Sydney. Um, they're all named after cities. Um... (laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
(laughs)
- HSHotep Jesus (Bryan Sharpe)
So, every day they come home, I have a lecture waiting for them, but when I prepare my lectures for them, I always figure, "How am I gonna make them laugh?" 'Cause my son, Dallas, he's, uh, very linear in thinking. I could lecture and he'll sit there and he'll listen to every single word. The other two are like me, they'll just, like, zone out.
- JRJoe Rogan
So, your twins not... Uh, are they identical twins?
- HSHotep Jesus (Bryan Sharpe)
Fraternal.
- JRJoe Rogan
Fraternal. Oh.
- HSHotep Jesus (Bryan Sharpe)
Yeah.So his brother and his sister are just like me. We'll all tune out-
- JRJoe Rogan
(coughs)
- HSHotep Jesus (Bryan Sharpe)
... and go into la-la land and start-
- JRJoe Rogan
That's gotta be weird when you have two kids that were born at the exact same time. They're twins, but yet they're totally different.
- HSHotep Jesus (Bryan Sharpe)
Yeah. And they look different.
- JRJoe Rogan
That's so weird.
- HSHotep Jesus (Bryan Sharpe)
One's brown-skinned, one's light-skinned.
- JRJoe Rogan
Whoa.
- HSHotep Jesus (Bryan Sharpe)
(laughs) Yeah. So-
- JRJoe Rogan
(laughs) So they both come out of the box at the same time too.
- HSHotep Jesus (Bryan Sharpe)
Yeah. (laughs) Uh, you know, it's, it's a crazy dynamic. The birth-
- JRJoe Rogan
Genetics are nuts, man.
- HSHotep Jesus (Bryan Sharpe)
Yeah. Their personalities are very different.
- JRJoe Rogan
(clears throat) That is one of the thing that trips me out the most about having kids.
- HSHotep Jesus (Bryan Sharpe)
Mm-hmm.
- JRJoe Rogan
Is how, how... Just they are their own little person out of the fucking box.
- HSHotep Jesus (Bryan Sharpe)
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
Like, you influence them a little. You teach them. You can give them morals and ethics, and you can-
- 33:08 – 36:29
Breaking up Big Tech: Standard Oil lessons, monopoly consolidation, and ‘town square’ arguments
- JRJoe Rogan
What do you think about all this talk, like, Elizabeth Warren's talked about it, and some other candidates have talked about it, some other politicians have talked about breaking up these big companies, breaking up Facebook, it's too big, break up Google, break up Twitter?
- HSHotep Jesus (Bryan Sharpe)
Mm-hmm.
- JRJoe Rogan
What do you think about that?
- HSHotep Jesus (Bryan Sharpe)
Well, um, I think we have to study what happened to Standard Oil.
- JRJoe Rogan
What happened to Standard Oil?
- HSHotep Jesus (Bryan Sharpe)
Um, with Standard Oil, they, uh, broke it up and it became, uh, Exxon, Chevron, Texaco, uh, I think BP. Don't quote me on that one. But-
- JRJoe Rogan
Does anybody have brand loyalty to gas? Is anybody like, "Dude, I'm a Chevron man"?
- HSHotep Jesus (Bryan Sharpe)
Yeah. Well, y-... they create those, those cards, right? Those-
- JRJoe Rogan
Oh, loyalty cards?
- HSHotep Jesus (Bryan Sharpe)
... gas cards.
- JRJoe Rogan
Oh, okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- HSHotep Jesus (Bryan Sharpe)
So that's how they create a loyalty program-
- JRJoe Rogan
Oh, here it is.
- HSHotep Jesus (Bryan Sharpe)
... with the gas cards.
- JRJoe Rogan
The evolution of Standard Oil. Jamie, pull it up on the screen.
- HSHotep Jesus (Bryan Sharpe)
Yeah, there you go.
- JRJoe Rogan
Wow. So Standard Oil was too big.
- HSHotep Jesus (Bryan Sharpe)
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
You know? Like, "Fuck this place."
- HSHotep Jesus (Bryan Sharpe)
Right.
- JRJoe Rogan
"We have to move it around a little bit."
- JVJamie Vernon
1911.
- JRJoe Rogan
Standard Oil of Kentu-... 1911 they did this?
- HSHotep Jesus (Bryan Sharpe)
Right. So, so if you look at it, it's broken up into-
- JRJoe Rogan
(coughs)
- HSHotep Jesus (Bryan Sharpe)
... I think it says 34, right? 34 companies, right? So you see Startom-
- JRJoe Rogan
Wow.
- HSHotep Jesus (Bryan Sharpe)
... on the, on the left, right? And then as you go, what do you see? You see a consolidation, don't you? (laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
Hmm. Merged.
- HSHotep Jesus (Bryan Sharpe)
You see these merges?
- 36:29 – 56:26
Deplatforming, fringe speech, and messy alternatives: white nationalists, Gab optics, and manipulation campaigns
- HSHotep Jesus (Bryan Sharpe)
Yeah. Well, you know, uh, a couple of years ago, or last year, I forget wh- No, it was about a couple of years ago, um, I was lambasted for, uh, defending white nationalists, you know, when they first got deplatformed. Some of them got deplatformed were just white nationalists, period. I'm like, "Well, if this is how these people feel, let's listen to them. Let's listen to their gripes. What are they mad about," right? And then people are like, "Oh, how could you? These people are racist, da, da, da." I'm like, "I don't care if they're racist. Like, th- that doesn't affect me," right? Like, I'm not asking them for a job, so they can't be racist towards me, you know what I mean? (laughs) But, um, when you have these, these groups that people call fringe, I feel like the people that are fringe are the test for freedom of speech. It's not the people in the middle. It's the fringe groups on the outside. If they don't have freedom of speech, everybody in the middle is screwed.
- JRJoe Rogan
Mm.
- HSHotep Jesus (Bryan Sharpe)
So I stood up and I was like, "Yo, let these dudes talk. Like, stop doing that." Like, like, you know, I don't care, you know, if they're racist or whatever. People called me names. But then now you see it coming down, and we lost, you know, Louis Farrakhan. He got deplatformed, he lost his verification, you know, and it's like, you know, this... He's like hotel-
- JRJoe Rogan
Wha- was there anything specifically that he said that allowed them to do that, or did they just make a sweeping... Because they got rid of Milo, they got rid of Gavin McInnes, they got rid of a bunch of people that were on Instagram and Facebook that they hadn't deplatformed, but it didn't seem like there was anything that happened that caused them to do that. It seemed like they just made some sort of a decision-
- HSHotep Jesus (Bryan Sharpe)
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
... that I think was probably based on preparing for the 2020 elections.
- HSHotep Jesus (Bryan Sharpe)
Absolutely. So what, so what I think what happened was, uh, the, uh, uh, the banning of Louis Farrakhan is just a theory, but they were like, "All right. If we ban these conservatives-"
- JRJoe Rogan
Mm-hmm.
- HSHotep Jesus (Bryan Sharpe)
"... the conservative crowd is gonna just go ape shit, right? But if we throw them Louis Farrakhan, it'll kinda settle things down a little because it'll look like we're fair," right?
- JRJoe Rogan
I think you're exactly right.
- HSHotep Jesus (Bryan Sharpe)
Yeah. So I'm like, so that's what they did. They're like, "Oh, let's throw them in there and that'll-"
- JRJoe Rogan
Mm-hmm.
- HSHotep Jesus (Bryan Sharpe)
"... you know, smooth things over."
- JRJoe Rogan
That's exactly what I thought when I saw it.
- HSHotep Jesus (Bryan Sharpe)
Yeah?
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah. I was like-
- HSHotep Jesus (Bryan Sharpe)
Yeah, it's on point.
- JRJoe Rogan
... "This seems weird."
- HSHotep Jesus (Bryan Sharpe)
Yeah, yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
It's like they have to justify it, like, "No, we got rid of him too."
- HSHotep Jesus (Bryan Sharpe)
(laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
You know?
- HSHotep Jesus (Bryan Sharpe)
Yeah, yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah, yeah. It's, uh, i- it's a strange time because there's... Even though there is Gab and there's Minds and there's, there's a couple other startups that are-
- HSHotep Jesus (Bryan Sharpe)
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
... they're trying to make their way and the Jordan Peterson one, and there's nothing that really stands out. And once someone starts... Once a, a giant group of people starts using something, unless it's, like... What's, what's hilarious is when they, one of them vanished, like Myspace. How fucking badly did they manage Myspace?
- HSHotep Jesus (Bryan Sharpe)
Oh, man.
- JRJoe Rogan
'Cause Myspace had it all.
- HSHotep Jesus (Bryan Sharpe)
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
They had everybody.

Soy boys, porn funnels, and the ‘jerk-off algorithm’: discipline, sexuality, and Taoist sex rules
- HSHotep Jesus (Bryan Sharpe)
Well, the thing with the Proud Boys is the ruling elite are afraid of men. You know? It, it's a huge soy boy movement coming down a, down a, down the p-
- JRJoe Rogan
(laughs)
- HSHotep Jesus (Bryan Sharpe)
... pipe, right? Soy everywhere. If anybody's listening right now, or everybody that's listening right now, soy is bad for you.
- JRJoe Rogan
It's not good.
- HSHotep Jesus (Bryan Sharpe)
It is very bad for you.
- JRJoe Rogan
It's processed nonsense.
- HSHotep Jesus (Bryan Sharpe)
The only-
- JRJoe Rogan
It gives you estrogen.
- HSHotep Jesus (Bryan Sharpe)
Oh, yes. Well, it, it, uh, uh, uh, it activates the phytoestrogens.
- JRJoe Rogan
Mm-hmm.
- HSHotep Jesus (Bryan Sharpe)
You know, and has active phyto- phytoestrogens that, uh, attack the endocrine, endocrine gland system. Now, when we look at the endocrine gland system, uh, of people in th- in the spiritual world, the endocrine gland system is the physical manifestation of the so-called chakras, right? Now, at the heart chakra what we have is called the thymus gland, and the thymus gland is the one that controls your, uh, sexual maturity. And when you have an endocrine gland disruptor, your sexual maturity is affected. So a man who would ordinarily like women now likes... You see what I'm saying?
- JRJoe Rogan
But wouldn't you have to have massive quantities of soy for that to take place?
- HSHotep Jesus (Bryan Sharpe)
That's, that's subjective based upon your biological structure, right?
- JRJoe Rogan
I always think of it as more as, like, a fun thing to say. I don't think, you know-
- HSHotep Jesus (Bryan Sharpe)
W- well, here's the thing.
- JRJoe Rogan
You eat too much tofu, you turn into a bitch.
- HSHotep Jesus (Bryan Sharpe)
Well, here's the thing. You can't go in a grocery store and find something that doesn't have soy. When you go look at your Cheez-Its or your crackers, they always just say soy lecithin. There's soy in everything. Soy everywhere, right? Uh, they use it as filler for some meats. So the whole vegan movement, right? You go and you go get your, your, your, your vegan burger.
- JRJoe Rogan
Beyond Meat burger, yeah.
- HSHotep Jesus (Bryan Sharpe)
Right. Uh, a lot of these burgers are soy-based.
- JRJoe Rogan
A lot of them are plant-based, for sure, plant-based oils.
- HSHotep Jesus (Bryan Sharpe)
Right. But soy's-
- JRJoe Rogan
You know, which is not good for you.
- HSHotep Jesus (Bryan Sharpe)
Right. And then you also look at the links between soy and cancer, but that's a whole nother story. But when you have something that's disrupting your so-called chakras, you can see how you can start affecting an entire population of people, right? You start affecting their development at an early age. And then, you know, you got these men who are, uh, acting like women who can't even, you know, control their wives. You got some men out here that, uh, let another man sleep with their girlfriend, right?
- JRJoe Rogan
(laughs)
- HSHotep Jesus (Bryan Sharpe)
And, and, and, and-
- JRJoe Rogan
Out here?
- HSHotep Jesus (Bryan Sharpe)
I don't know about out here.
- JRJoe Rogan
Well, you're saying out here. (laughs)
- HSHotep Jesus (Bryan Sharpe)
Well, when I say out here, I mean in this sh-
- JRJoe Rogan
That's everywhere-
