🧾 EPISODE SUMMARY

In this episode of The Joe Rogan Experience, featuring David Holthouse and Narrator, Joe Rogan Experience #2129 - David Holthouse explores cults, Krishnas, war, UFOs, and psychedelics in one conversation Joe Rogan and filmmaker David Holthouse discuss Holthouse’s Peacock docuseries “Krishnas,” about a violent, abusive chapter in the Hare Krishna movement centered on guru Kirtananda and the New Vrindavan commune. They examine how spiritual movements and cults go wrong, systemic child abuse and cover‑ups, and how ISKCON later tried to reform. The conversation then pivots to Holthouse’s recent reporting trip to Ukraine and his evolving view on the war, before roaming into UFOs, Holthouse’s firsthand Phoenix Lights sighting, and the transformative role of psychedelics, DMT, and MDMA. Throughout, they circle back to human nature, corruption, and whether psychedelics or advanced intelligence (digital or otherwise) could steer humanity away from war.
