His UFO and ancient alien stuff is fun though. He's also pulling that Michae l Jordan Republicans buy shoes too shit or else he wouldn't have gotten that Spotify contract.
I had hope for his History(?) channel show.
To each their own. I don't make a habit of watching him, don't like his standup and don't really find him all that funny. The ones I do watch I've already heard his guests speak or read their articles elsewhere. Joe rogan is not a hill ima die on that's for sure. Its entertainment, not news and I'm well aware of that, but he does have some interesting guests that make the news and they are free to make their points with no time constraints.
Yeah I am not doubting it is a good listen, he is a great entertainer.
The way he trained to learn about MMA and got really into it was respectable, before that he was just that guy in news radio and the show they made people eat bugs all the time. So I try to not taint my actual enjoyment of his MMA commentary to allow him to politicize it for me. As hard as it is getting to ignore all the outside MAGA going on in the UFC, I can still enjoy the fights. If I start to combine his voice with politics, all the enjoyment will get zapped.
And his tv show was off the chart conspiracy bullshit, I had a lot of high hopes for it.
But I will try again eventually to listen to that podcast with those guys, I am sure they have a tremendous amount of very interesting things to consider, but its the political bending of science to troll peer reviewed journals that I take issue with. The attempt to tear down the importance of the universities in our nation is too obvious of an attack on our country. The work and expansion of knowledge that people get from learning the amount it takes to earn a PhD is not trivial.
And the more people that earn those levels the more opportunities it is to legitimately challenge the ideas of the people who came before you. It is about understanding the process of what those people needed to know to come up with the prevailing theories of today better than they did so you have the ability to come up with something even better.
So a couple of trolls that know enough math to design something elegant (I am guessing, I couldn't actually find their actual papers they wrote just a lot of mentions of them) in a field that is emerging due to human rights submitting their falsified data to a third rate journal (after getting notes from all the actual journals, wasting all those other PhD's time and effort to do their work for them by finding their mistakes) that published it, doesn't impress me.
