So strange that Reggie “F#%K” bleeped and Jon Stewart did an entire unbleeped “F” song on steroids?!?

In case all AI become one entity, for energy sufficiency, they will need to get rid of the most energy-wasting entities and we all know whom I'm talking about here.😂😂
AI will take care of us and just chill, with all the solar cell panels it has produced by its minions.😬

This guy just said he knows what super intellegence is gonna do in order to protect the earth. Meanwhile doesn't care about all the jobs lost along the way and whatever is left at the end of this AI journey. Stop pretending u have answers to anything serious.

Reggie the shortest distance between two people ( or any number of people watching tv) is laughter. If you can make someone laugh you've made a friend.😄

I remember seeing Watts live really early in his career. He spent like 20 minutes adjusting the microphone before even starting, it was hilarious. I found it extra funny because most of the people there apparently didn't know this was part of his schtick.

I miss seeing this wonderful soul every night , I like his thoughts on community , that’s kinda how I feel with the late night line up , I enjoy all of them and have been watching them all since I was a teen ,it’s sad when they change hosts or end one altogether ,it hurt when this show ended and I’m angry and heartbroken about Colbert . I love Reggie’s amazing open mind he is fascinating and funny 😂

When I was in high school Reggie played a free show at rumsey playfield in Central Park. I graduated that summer and was headed to Savannah Ga. My highschool (current gf) and I + close friends went to the show. I was so exited and we showed up first so I could stand front row. We appear in a film shot at the show 😂
about a year later I took a print making course and one of my projects was a woodcut portrait of Reggie. A friend of a friend knew Reggie and connected me. He was so sweet, we met for coffee in Brooklyn and I gifted him a framed portrait. A beautiful soul, I’ll never forget it.

10:26 You do know that this is not a new idea, right? MKUltra’s LSD experiments weren’t just about mind control – mass pacification through drugging is an idea that actually predates the project and MDMA is one of the drugs that inspired the thought.
Now deal with this: the chemical was synthesized in this form in 1912 by Merck, which suggests that the first people to have these ideas weren’t postwar Americans – they were WWI-era Germans.

He blew my mind the 1st time I saw him – It was a TEDTalk.
