Unlike fellow tech titan Elon Musk, Zuckerberg didn’t allow himself to relax too much, smoke weed, or do other antics that could cause Meta’s stock price to plummet. Instead, the buttoned-up billionaire tried to play it cool with the controversial UFC commentator and eagerly discussed his love of martial arts, specifically jujutsu. Yes, this Silicon Valley entrepreneur told the muscle podcaster that he too is motivated by physical activity. “I hate sitting in front of my desk. I feel like if I’m not active, I’m just lost,” she said. “My energy level and my mood and the way I interact with people is based on… it’s so natural. I don’t believe we are just brains in a body. Our physical existence and the actions we perform there are equally the experience of being human.” We’ve discovered some interesting facts about Zuckerberg’s life over the past couple of years. While most of us were stuck in small apartments or houses during the pandemic, he spent much of it at his family ranch in Kauai, Hawaii, where he has a (controversial) 1,500-acre estate and has clashed with the locals. “I spent a lot of time down in Kauai early on. I got really into surfing and hydrofoil and I would get up early and go and do it and then get really refreshed for my meet day,” he said. “That’s not something I could do in Palo Alto.” Zuckerberg appeared on Rogan’s show largely to promote Metaverse, insisting that the AR and VR technology he’s developing can help people leave big cities that don’t “have your values.” “Imagine if you didn’t have to move to some city that didn’t have your values ​​to be able to get all the economic opportunities, that would be awesome,” Zuckerberg told Rogan. “So in the future where you can use AR, VR and teleport in the morning in the office and appear as a hologram, I think that’s going to be pretty sweet, right? It will unlock a lot of economic opportunities, for a lot of people.” But mostly Zuckerberg came across as a man who would rather be left alone to develop new technologies and not be drawn into the problems caused by his own social networks. Indeed, he told Rogan he didn’t have time to use them. “Me personally, I do so many things that don’t actually exist [enough] hours a day,” he said. “My kids, I didn’t have to think about it that much because they’re quite young, six and five… I want them to use technology for different things. I teach them how to code, it’s an outlet for creativity.” And he told Rogan that social media was good if you used it to “interact with someone” and “build relationships,” but not if you “sit there and consume stuff.” He also had some shade about Twitter, saying: “I find it hard to spend a lot of time on Twitter without getting very irritated. On the other hand, I think Instagram is a superlative space. I think some of the criticism we get there is that it’s too curated and potentially, in some ways, too positive… It’s easy to spend time there and absorb a lot of the positivity.” He also admitted that he dreads checking his phone in the morning because of all the headaches the company gives him: “My day is, you wake up in the morning, look at my phone, you get a million messages that have come in. , usually not good. People save the good stuff to tell me in person, right? I mean, what’s going on in the world that I should be paying attention to? So it’s almost like every day you wake up you get punched in the stomach.” Zuckerberg also admitted that like anyone else, working from home has its own challenges for him, including taking time off from his family: “I have this thing where I’ll be in a zone meeting and my wife will do some basic question and I lose my flow, and from her perspective, it’s not a big deal, but that’s not how it works.” He ended the interview by awkwardly acknowledging that parts of the internet believe he might be a robot, after appearing before Congress in 2018. Rogan told him in response that he didn’t drink water like a normal person and challenged him to prove that he could. “Senate testimony is not exactly an environment created to highlight the humanity of the subject,” Zuckerberg told him. “If you’re up there for six or seven hours, you’re going to make a meme-worthy face.” No proof yet, then.
