Myth Lets You Know Where You Are (ft. Joseph Campbell)
Well, the ego can't reflect upon itself
Unless it has a mirror against which to read itself
And that mirror would be the mythological schedule
That lets it know, where it is
It's a mirror with a schedule on
Patterned mirror
And the ego sees itself in that reflex
And knows where it is
On the scoreboard
Just, for example
A person who, at the age of 40, is wondering
Whether he's gonna be punished by mother
Hasn't moved on
And the person at the age of 80
Who's wondering, "How's my golf score”
He hasn't moved on either
Myth lets ya know where ya are

Kill the Dragon Save the World (ft. Joseph Campbell)
(Yeah and now for my next number)
(I’d like to return to the classics)
Jung had a patient come to him
Who felt alone
And she drew a picture of herself
As, uh, caught in the rocks
Well, I'll be damned
From the waist down, she was bound in rocks
And this was on a windy shore
The wind blowing and her hair blowing
And all the gold
Which is the sign of the vitality of life
Was locked in the rocks
The next picture that he had her draw
Had followed something he had said to her
Suddenly, a lightning flash hit the rocks

Yes to the Serpent (ft. Joseph Campbell)
These stories of mythology
Are simply trying to express
A truth that can't be
Grasped any other way
(Well, I'll be damned)
It's the edge
The interface
Between what can be known
And what is never to be discovered
Because it is the mystery transcendent
Of all human research
The source of life
What, what is it?
No one knows
It's important to live life
With a knowledge of its mystery

Follow The Way (ft. Joseph Campbell)
Simply put
A mythology is a set of stories, of ideas
That tries to make sense of the world
And our place in it
No special knowledge
Or education is required
You need only a deep interest
In what it means to be alive
There are two kinds of mythology
What is called the right-hand path
The mythology of the village compound
That keeps you fixed
In the context of your world
You grow up here
You live as expected
You live a dignified, successful

Among The Stars (ft. Elon Musk)
Yeah I mean
But like, you know
My goal is like is
Try to do useful things
Try to maximize, probably
The future's good
Make the future exciting
Something you look forward to
You know?
With Tesla, we're like trying to make
Things that people love
There’s not a lot of things
You can buy that you really love
That really give you joy
So rare
So rare
I wish there were more things

Most People Are Good (ft. Elon Musk)
I really think, you know
People should give other people
The benefit of the doubt
And assume that they're good
Until proven otherwise
And I think really, most people
Are actually pretty good people
Nobody's perfect
[Chorus]
Most people are good
Most people are good
[Joe Rogan] The vast majority
Most people are good
[Joe Rogan] They have to be
Most people are good

Optimistic And Wrong (ft. Elon Musk)
Well, the argument for the simulation
I think, is quite strong
Because if you assume
Any improvements
At all over time
Any improvement
1%, 01%
Just extend the timeframe
Make it a thousand years
A million years
The universe is 138 billion years old
Civilization, if you're very generous
Civilization is maybe seven or 8,000 years old
If you count it from the first writing
This is nothing
This is nothing

Merge (ft. Elon Musk)
It's not necessarily
A doomsday countdown
People call it the singularity
And that's probably
A good way to think about it
It's a singularity
It's hard to predict
Like a black hole
What happens past the event horizon?
It could be terrible
And it could be great
It's not clear
One thing is for sure
We will not control it
The ah, merge scenario with AI is
The one that seems like probably the best
If you can't
