if you got diagnosed with a horrible disease Mike I try to think of a better way to ask you this question which isn’t like majorly depressing because this is but if you got diagnosed with the disease that was gonna kill you in a year or 18 months what would you do with those months I so I role play this all the time not not because I want to dwell in the darkness but this is part of the rehearsing the worst case scenario so not only do I rehearse this for myself but I try to spend time around people who are going to die and when I get back to the Bay Area I actually want to volunteer in a hospice center to contend with that there are a few things so I would I would get my affairs in order relatively quickly they’re already largely in order so that my family would be taken care of and to be honest and there aren’t many points in my life where I could say this I would largely keep doing what I’m doing honestly III think that I stopped for instance the tech investing about two years ago because I felt like I was replaceable I felt like if I in a sense didn’t participate there were a hundred other people in line we’re gonna step up and write a check and that wasn’t a unique opportunity nor a unique skill that I held to hopefully put into the world to benefit people in some way but the you know all the ludicrous experiments some more practical than others and the podcasting and so on I feel like I’m putting out the best work that I can and I think I’d keep doing it I’d certainly and and in the last few years I’ve after reading an essay I think it’s called the tail end by Tim urban on weight but why about how effectively by the time you’re 18 and leave the house you’ve spent 80 percent of the total hours you will ever spend with your parents I’ve reorganized my calendar in my year to spend a lot more time with family meaning my parents and my brother and I think I’d keep doing what I’m doing honestly until until I lift you know end up in a pile of dust which is where we’re all ended up sooner or later it’s I was listening I keep wanting to do this I want to when I’m listening to certain podcasts sometimes I want to just live tweet like when I’m having thoughts about him and I do with Rogen’s sometimes I go man I should just be live tweeting this because sometimes when he had who do you have on oh and when he had Sam Harris on I was just there were so many things that they were saying that were just hilarious to me and I wanted to live tweet but when you had shaycarl on but at one point I can’t remember his quote there was this when you got to this topic and you know use you know of what you would do and it wasn’t the same question it was but it was somewhere in the same thing maybe it was about money got enough money now or something something along those lines and kind of at the same time you know he says he says something like you know just imagine being able to spend all this time with your family and then you said at the same time cocaine and whores I wanted to live yes–she and I it’s been a couple days together in which just for those people in how many contacts he’s also you know raised Church of Latter day Saints you know Mormon Utah and sauce like cocaine and whores which is the nature of my podcast that was classic
