I've watched all interviews with Norton and can't stop surprising how intelligent he is.

Love the moment that Edward asks Rich how to sustain a disciplined healthy lifestyle even through massive periods of stress and driving towards goals. We are all humans looking for balance.

"Fight Club takes you to a positive place. It takes you through the sexiness of nihilism but back to trying things in a healthier way." Thanks Edward for talking with honesty and transparency. Not only the best actor of his generation, but a wonderful, thoughtful, unique human being.

These dudes need at least another 45 minutes with each other. I highly enjoyed this.

I've been a fan of Edward Norton for a long time and now I am a raving fan. Love his perspective and love this episode.

The Painted Veil is one of my all time favorite movies. Brilliant ❤️

This was huge for me today. Got me thinking about what the world would be like if this kind of intelligent, engaging discourse didn’t exist. Thanks sincerely to everyone involved.

Clearly Ed valued this conversation above the other podcasts he did. So interesting to have this insight into the mind of this amazing actor. Great actor, great human being.

Edward Norton making the rounds on all my favorite podcasts I love it!

This is the best fluid and fascinating interview/podcast he has done for the film(so far). I wish this was longer. I really agree with Ed about the fast food analogy. It reminds me of that argument about how fantasy/comic movies are all the make now!!

Such an interesting philosophical discussion. We need more likes these. Well done. Also love fight club and America history x and I look forward to seeing this one💗 Thank you both!💗

American History X is one of the best films I've ever seen.

Astonishing that Edward Norton is mostly only known for his movies.I love his acting but I am extremely found of all the other things he is involved in. He has enough talent for 3 people. The whole family must be amazing. Nothing sexier than intelligence! Also interesting to see that he struggles with the same stuff a lot of the rest of us do. (balance). Very inspiring and refreshing! I could listen to this for hours. Awesome podcast! Thx

Brilliant! One of my favs so far. I love Edward and everything he does. Interesting to learn more about his past/family.

This is the first time I was aware of Ed’s movie. Sounds like a winner. Will check it out.

Interstellar, that is the word I was looking for. Super cool.

This was a conversation with a lot of interesting talking points and real depth. One of my favourites so far.

I seriously love Ed Norton for so long. Just saw his movie this past weekend. Amazing surprise this morning!

Thanks for sharing what makes you and your flow. It’s so hard to explain our feelings that have a form of control of us. Then to exercise it to keep your truths your own and be the best version to even help others becomes their best version.

Love the honesty and intelligence here. Quality stuff.

This is so GREAT!!!! Love the depth and honesty.

Wow, I didn’t realize he wrote it and directed it. Are they talking about Motherless Brooklyn? FANTASTIC!

He's definitely talking about The Joker

Thank you for sharing another wonderful podcast. 😎🇨🇦

Loved this! Not that you forgot but ..... Peace...... Plants..... ❤️

Thumbs up if you’re going to watch #MotherlessBrooklyn because you watched this podcast.

Seeing Edward's body language reminds me of a person I once saw that took the wrong train. She was in this position that she couldn't leave and needed to get to the next stop to start going the opposite way.

Eeep - does this mean that EN is going to explore plant based?? So exciting. Thanks for another great podcast.

Social tectonic plates... I love it!

Fabulous interesting discussion very much needed these days

I was listening to this today during the long run and will be buying the digital copy and watching this some vino nachos and bean burger to recover!

that movie edward references at 4:59 was Joker.. the most disturbing film ive seen in a long time

Holy Crap! Ed Norton in Rich Roll’s kitchen?! I obviously way underestimated Rich Roll’s commodity. Leo next, please.

Ed Norton's face kinda looks like his audio is chronically (and in real life) delayed for a second or two... great convo, love him.

I haven't even seen it, but we all know the movie Edward Norton is talking about approaching the 5 min mark is Joker :P

There is a healthy side of ego and there's a dark side. To live an outward life like you are an actor on a stage -- it would be very difficult to be connected to yourself. All we can do is practice butterfly politics. And I'm so glad I heard this discussion before watching "motherless .."

I find the letter a in Edward to be very irritating in the form that it is written on the blackboard.

I listened to the podcast on Spotify but tuned in to KZfaq to see how Ed and rich vibed and interacted. One thing I noticed is that the camera views stay locked on the speaker for most of the time. I would love now and then at appropriate moments to switch to the person listening (or to a wider panned shot) to see how they are physically holding themselves and communicating their engagement with the person speaking. One example was 1hour 7 minutes to 1 hour 8.30 minutes where Rich is giving Ed advice. Would have loved to see how Ed was recieving the message from rich but camera didn’t switch at all. Hope the feedback helps. Huge fan of show and this episode was great!

Totally agree with Ed about Ralph Nader. The last true American hero.

That went deep real quick.

Motherless Brooklyn. Great Movie

It's always nice to hear Edward Norton, not only does he know how to use the English language well, he is also very thoughtful. He also seems like a kind person. Our society is suffering from a lack of free thinking, intelligent, artistic individuals who are also confident enough to speak publicly for 1.5 hours like this.

Diversity can be beneficial, only to a certain degree, when core identify is still intact, otherwise drastic measures would be sought for self-preservation.

Love it! Good talk and can't wait to watch this movie tho!

Thanks for this

I love you Edward and I’m so glad you did have this conversation with Rich.

I bet the movie he is talking about is Joker.

It feels like this interview was done yesterday Sept 12, 2020.

The powers that be, should've never gotten away with development of Merryweather Post Pavilion. They really have paved paradise and put up a parking lot...literally!

5:31 - Imagine all the bad food and substances being flushed through people. Technology cannot extend further than the hands that use it, one could say that use reflects the conditions of their environment if not their state. 6:32 - Imagine taking off all the mufflers on all those vehicles on all those highways, imagine the noise then? 6:57 - 7:16 Television has never not had a sense of the world? 10:04 -Think it started at burger and beer. 11:04 - The Russians are foaming? I read a remark somewhere that chickens in a field tend to peck much less at one another than those in a box. I wouldn't wonder the equivalent for the internet. In that regard I'm unsure the maliciousness of a government can be so much as the populations are of themselves? Though i am ill informed on that. 11:48 - I'm unsure the answer or issue is so simple to be described as a yes or no or one way or the other. Maybe the method of a question is insufficient for the scale of the issue at hand. While there's a good chance I'm ill informed on the significance of what facebook has become, it is moment to moment an extension to it's user. 12:55 Is TV going to remove political adds? 14:20 THAT is a good and challenging question, when history extends no further beyond and between the perceptions of humanity, what is it even? And what is it now that we have an accuracy of recording it to detail unlike ever before. What do we do when we could consider how much previous as a kind of unfortunately ill equipped to conceive? For lack of a better question. 23:29 - Well, the rate of loss Bolsonaro with Trump and others happen to be burning away the amazon year by year, hows that going to ripple through the future? If not the added stream of by miners, loggers, and ranchers. If not the rate it will flood? A grown forest can't match an ancient one millions of years old, and the loss of such trees. I am unsure furthering combustion infrastructure serves anyone any good, for the amount of resource and waste is in kind flushed into the environment to keep the american dream roller coaster running.

what movie is he talking about at 4:30?

Great interview Wow !

Right on!

Truth to power? How could people be so naive? The truth, is that what Norton has been part of is responsible for unchecked power, while killing off thousands of small businesses. Crowdrise, was funded by venture capital. Here's what venture capitalists (VC) do. Let's say you have a company selling widgets. You're in a big market, you're doing well. You're paying all your employees health insurance, you give them great benefits. You're a great company that the community adores. Now let's say two kids from Stanford, Rich's alma mater, find out about you. They decide they want to compete against you. They don't compete against the old fashioned way. No. They pitch VC's with a plan to take over your market and crush you. How they do that is by either giving away what you sell for free, or, by selling what you do at a price lower than your COGS (cost of goods sold). In other words, what they charge for the same widget is less than what you can buy it for. Because Americans have no loyalty and all they care about is cost -- thanks to VC's -- you go out of business. The VC backed startup wins. They don't just win, no one else can compete against them either. Because remember, they either give away what was once charged for, or, they sell it at a price that's less than what a competitor could buy it for. The net is the world we live in today, where a few companies; Amazon, Facebook, Twitter, Apple, and Google control everything. Everything means everything. Each one of those companies was funded by venture capital. EDO, Norton's latest venture, is a company that's about surveillance capitalism. They're about behavioral modification. How could people not know this??? A must read is "The Age Of Surveillance Capitalism - The Fight For A Human Future At The New Frontier Of Power" by Harvard Professor Shoshana Zuboff. www.shoshanazuboff.com/new/ Professor Zuboff’s book is the "Silent Spring" of our time. Hey Rich. Remember when you started, when you cared about the little people, like Rachel Carson did? It details how the Internet is run by oligarchs who’s intention is behavioral modification. That by participating in social media Americans are essentially puppets, being manipulate by puppet masters. This isn’t about privacy, it’s about behavioral modification. It’s not about a few companies, it’s about totalitarianism. It’s not about automation, it’s about the fight for a human future. Because of people like Norton, and Rich, we want to break things down to what can be explained on Twitter. This is proof of the behavioral modification already taken place. We say, “people don’t read.” More evidence of behavioral modification. We say, “it’s inevitable.” This is akin to allowing ourselves to be locked up without representation and a trial by our peers. It goes against the founding principles of our country. We’ve become puppets, slaves to the puppet masters, read: what Norton has been a part of. We need to start fighting back. Zuboff writes, “The dangers we face cannot be grasped through either the lens of privacy or of monopoly.” So we should stop using those words. We should stop saying social media, and start calling it what it is - surveillance capitalism. She goes on to say, “The threats we face are even more fundamental, as surveillance capitalists take command of the essential questions that define knowledge, authority, and power in our time: Who knows, who decides, who decides who decides?” Who knows, who decides, who decides who decides? That's everything, man. We are seeing speckles of resistance and a couple minor victories. The Right To Be Forgotten was a small victory against Google. So was the California Consumer Privacy Act. Bernie Sanders is here, he's a once in a generation candidate. People, we are in a crisis. Our planet is collapsing. The United States Constitution has been trampled on. Instead of celebrating people like Norton, we should be calling them on the carpet. My god. If the terrorists were doing this to us we'd declare war. The apocalypse is happening, it just hasn't come to your neighborhood yet. If people don't stand up, rise up, it's the end.

Loved this.

I thought this podcast was very interesting. Not only did it touch on more cultural and political topics not ordinarily discussed on RRP. I saw it as a sort of realization of one of Rich’s older endeavors from when he was an entertainment lawyer working with celebrities. Expanding the social circle to the big names!

No one: Me: Rich Roll must have been the cutest baby when he was young!

Edward Norton. Soooo. Irish. It shows

damn this channel needs more subs and views

I just think it’s silly to think that we need laws to change the world. We should all lead by example until being the highest version of yourself/ascending nihilism is the norm and unless you conform to the mindset of living above nihilism you will be in the minority. Most people are followers so we tend to just follow the leaders and currently our leaders are corrupt/nihilistic/ego centric/power hungry illusionists setting the stage for a completely negative future. “Do as I say, not as I do” should be the credo of the “law” making “elite”

Too many uses of the word FOMENT! foment verb. instigate or stir up (an undesirable or violent sentiment or course of action).

Hypnotized to not eat sugar?? 💀

I would love to hear a conversation between bo burnham and ed norton to be honest.

My guess is Norton is talking about The Joker when he said he recently saw a nihilistic movie "that was a celebration of an idea that there is a righteous value to blowing away your values."

Love this....

Super Real.

'Columbia', a great name for an idealistic new place. ;-)

Brilliant

Man I wanted to watch this. This interviewer jumped in way too fast. Correcting ,Harsh and come across prideful.

Have we thought about just rejecting Freudian terminology? I think it could straighten out a lot of people.

How is it possible to speak about Robert Moses and not be indebted to The Power Broker? How is it possible to speak of Motherless Brooklyn and not mention Jonathan Latham? That’s one massive ego there...

The elephant in the room is called neoliberalism!

Open up inside. What do you feel rather than what do you think?

BRAVO , but any conversation about a better world HAS TO START WITH VEGANISM - if someone cannot control the lowest and most vile aspects of their live , how can they be part of the solution !

THANK GOD HE DIDNT MENTION THE WORD FRUCTOSE AGAIN

Fear is ego

As much as I love Edward Norton as an actor and respect his intelligence, I find his poor phrasing incredibly annoying. "Uhm, like, you know", ten second pause etc.

I'm always a bit tickled when people appeal to the Dalai lama as being something more than just another human (like Ed Norton just did in this interview) that should not be susceptible to the common foibles that all of us are - just because he is the head of a religion? Time and time again we find out otherwise.

It seems Corp...has already won. It's all about interpersonal relationships .. the collection of info ... The devil is alive and well . ??? The battle is on .

The Brexit 'interesting regression'' Ed Norton made.. was right on the money ;)

🤯 wow

righteous value to blowing away ur oppressors?Fight Club?

Edward Norton is so out of touch lol.

Hey Rich, please, interview Marianne Williamson from Marianne2020.com

Gen Xer here.

Totally disagree on the opinion of Brexit. Best thing that can happen.

The irony in Ed Norton not understanding the move for BREXIT or the move to TRUMP while writing, directing and playing a role in a movie about an unelected progressive autocrat whose policies are still reverberating thru New York is Rich. See what I did there? Still love the guy, just dont agree with him.

Guys. Please, if you want to act all wise and enlightened can you at least get a grip of basic geography? It's not ENGLAND, it's the UNITED KINGDOM. There are three other countries in the UK! We don't call the USA, CALIFORNIA. Please reciprocate the courtesy!!!

My country is called: THE BRITISH ISLES ...NOT "england" ! The United Kingdom - Britain - The UK - neither is WALES "england" nor IRELAND is "england" ...And definitely not SCOTLAND. So get your geography right. Are you on drugs?

Talking about brexit? C’mon mate 🖐🏻😂

The precious tendency suprisingly scold because swan perioperatively scold except a hallowed bronze. interesting, diligent lynx

I will marry him in heaven!!!

This is advice for Edward on sustainable fitness. Check out Tabatas. You can do 1 or 5 per day. For people who have little time or little motivation, this is a very structured program that gets the heart rate up and requires little motivation. Also, use the Tabata Music app. Days that I have no plan on what to do workout wise I just do a Tabata or multiple. On busy days you literally can do air squats for 20 seconds on and 10 seconds off for 8 rounds. The stress that comes out of guilt for not working out can be remediated with this simple program. With plant-based eating my approach is that my health is an investment every time I eat I can invest in a good stock or a bad stock. At the end of the day, my nutrition portfolio should be a net positive. Having good food will allow you to show up most of the time 100 percent in your day. And like Rich Roll says you have to be all in or nothing. It is very hard to dabble away from time to time because that behavior will just corrupt your progress long term.
