02: Rick Rosner Conversation
Peace and Resist Podcast
Kedro talks with Rick Rosner, who has the 2nd highest IQ in the world - and is a former Jimmy Kimmel writer. This went to a lot of fun and unexpected places. It gets funny, political, and scientifically thought-provoking towards the end.
We open by discussing his brother, Lt. Col. Dave Rosner, who was the only Jewish Marine comedian, and talk what propelled Rick to politics, Avengers Endgame vs. Stars Wars in style and production, his Huffington Post writing, his concept of Individualized Information Feeds - in part related to modern food science and Presidential history, his time as a bouncer and 1000 fake IDs, sinks broken on unruly patrons' heads, a sample from his time as the Noesis journal editor (published by the Mega Society), Rick's take on JFK, what % of conspiracies are real, ingredients for successful TV pilots, a TV Executive's fall from the mountaintop, how wanting to make jewelry for his wife led to graduating from college with 5 majors, vaccinations are happening and Rick knows the data, physics is fun, Wanda Sykes and Crank Yankers, Van Nuys in the 80s, Einstein and Rick's parallel to Einstein's patent office days, how John Archibald Wheeler impacted Rick's ideas (with a helpful LEGO analogy), Informational Cosmology: Rick's Theory of Everything, the link between our brains and the stars we observe, and even more. *No medical advice is given on this episode.
