Anon talks about Joe Rogan

Credulous is the word.

Under the guise of objectivity he gives all fringe opinions equal significance.

If you told Joe that Apple own a warehouse full of genetically altered chickens that actually laid iPhones he'd stare at you, slack-jawed and wonder why this hasn't been reported in the press. Just a fucking clown from his toes to his eyelashes.

The apotheosis of what a dumb guy thinks a smart guy sounds like.

The manifested avatar of a crowd of drunk college kids having an uninformed debate.

The patron saint of mansplaining.

Nah he just a douche

The problem with Rogan is that he doesn't have the knowledge or qualifications to push back against people spewing bullshit on his show, and so he ends up essentially making fringe, pseudo-scientific ideas seem equal to the mainstream expert consensus view.

I stopped listening to his podcasts when I realised he doesn't know the facts and spews what he believes are facts. I admire him to hold a conversation for as long as he does and keep it somewhat entertaining but beyond that it's nothing more than pseudo science.

One of the best greentext explanations out there

They're not wrong.

That used to be true. He got sucked into the right wing echo chamber real though and he has getting worse as time goes on.

No; he's just a credulous idiot.

Every post that hits /all/ from this comm is either misogyny or casual racism like this.

yes the culture that happens to adapt/improve/recruit tech, culture and people from all over the place is the ''barbarian''

Thank you for sharing this gift with us

Fuck me this is hilarious Jo Raw Khan

While I understand and respect the dunking in light of his detrimental effect on politics and sanity in general, I feel it's disingenuous to imply he's stupid. He's just smart enough to be dangerous

Listening to the podcast "History of philosophy without any gaps" there's some philosophers, specially in middle age Arabic societies, that had the patronage of warlords, and would change patron for the new warlords who killed their previous one.

This isn't greentext.

Reality television and its consequences, etc, etc.

This is just racism

Seems to me a lot of people here pretty hostile to Joe. I can only say he has been more than open and interacted with good faith with guests that I listen to than anyone in "media". His talk with Bernie Sanders and his agreement with certain aspects of Sanders agenda should dismiss the claim that he's a libertarian shill. I try to approach him as a topic in good faith as well.

He's being called a neandertal because he seems to agree with a lot of fringe opinions. I try to think of how I would react if talking to a person who I have no idea about their area of expertise and how I would deal with claims that they make. Sure he gives a voice to cranks, but he also gives voice to people across the spectrum, some that I actually want other people to hear from. That's kind of what free speech is about right there.
