The Joe Rogan Experience
#2259 - Thomas Campbell

Because if you stopped, oh, I got to go to bed, there's a good chance that the machine would break and it wouldn't be working when you got back. So if it was working, you stayed with it. And I saw this ad on the door that said, learn how to meditate. And it had a bullet point, bullet point. And one of them jumped out at me and said, you can get by with less sleep. I said, I need that.

So I went and took my banana and paid $25, a special student price, and learned how to meditate. And it turned out it was a natural for me. Very first time I tried, I thought I had been sitting there for maybe 10, 15 minutes, got up when somebody tapped me and said, it's time to go. And I thought, oh, he just started it. And it turned out I'd been there like an hour and a half.

And it's like, oh, I just lost part of my life. This is amazing. And from then on, every time I meditated, it was sort of like that. I would get deep in it instantly and have a lot of interesting things going on. And one day, I was sitting there in a meditation, and I started thinking about meditation.

The software I was writing, and back in those days now, those days are in like the middle of the late 60s. In those days, the computer was one computer for a whole university, and it took up probably 10,000 square feet. And it was probably about 100th as powerful as the one that's in your cell phone. And there were no debug programs. There was nothing.

You put in your run and they send it back with a message that says it bombed. That's all the outputs you got. Maybe you'd get part of a printout if it got to some of your print statements. So that was back in the old days when working with a computer was a lot more problematic than it is then. So I was just thinking about it. I had had some things bomb and didn't know why.

And I was searching through my card deck, if you can think back that far when computers were fed by punch cards. And it was really hard to debug because some of the problems weren't even real problems with your code, but the hole was a little off-center.

The card punches were all mechanical things, and they wore out, and they had cams and gears and stuff, and they could punch off a little off-center, and the machine would throw it out, and all you'd get is a message that says, your job didn't run, it bombed.

So I started thinking about it, and when I did, I saw in my mind, I saw this roll, just like it was coming off a roll, and there was my programs. coming down there, and then I saw one that was red. Most of them were black on white, like you'd expect.
