Joe Rogan used to be an important voice for climate change. wtf happened.
Joe Rogan was never an important voice for anything. He’s a categorical dipshit. He has the moral compass of a windsock. He is impressed by any statement that’s even mildly astute, and latches onto ideas that are presented as such by whatever person he’s interviewing. The fact that so many people in the states are so into what he says is frankly a pretty damning indictment of my countrymen in general.
And yet he’s consistently had the largest podcast audience in the world for about a decade with tens of millions of loyal followers. “Important” doesn’t imply “good,” or “smart,” or “correct.” A tumor is important. Yes, he’s a moron and all the other things you said, but he’s also a massively important voice for whatever happens to rattle between his ears.
To your point: when I shit my pants, I find myself in an urgent situation where the shit in my pants is the important part.
I stepped on a rusty nail once, and the nail was, very briefly, the most important thing in my life.
He’s an opportunist.
He didn’t change, opportunities change.
Yeah that’s what I kind of think. But I hate the realization that I’m just as susceptible to it as everyone else if it’s with someone I like.
It's a very important realization to have though. Now incorporate this vital information and make peace with your fallibility. Everyone is susceptible cognitive biases and it pays to know yours. Stay vigilant.
capitalism corrupts, power corrupts, an excess of money corrupts
Yeah I know. But I fell for the belief that he was one of the good honest ones that was incorruptible for the longest time. Idk, he also could just be stupid.
his dog is cute
All dogs are cute. Hitler had a cute dog.
My grandfather had an ugly dog. It died a long time ago and the world was a better and more beautiful place. My grandfather liked it, though, so I guess it wasn't completely irredeemable.
The dog being "cute" to you is kinda not the thing that should define the dog. Would you say that kinda thing about humans?
Some people, and dogs, are more attractive than others. This is an objective fact. Some people, and dogs, make the world a worse place and therefore make it a better place when they die. This is more subjective, but most people would agree with that statement, if not who would qualify. As for my grandfather's dog, the qualities that caused it to make the world a worse place were not its physical features. I rarely comment on people's looks because I think that's generally the least important thing about people.
You know how hard it is to be a fan of the show NewsRadio? Joe Rogan and Andy Dick before they both went off the deep end.
Literally just started a rewatch of NewsRadio like two days ago. Immediately struggled with my love for Phil Hartman and Dave Foley versus my hate for Andy Dick and Joe Rogan.
I seem to recall that Andy Dick was a dick then, too. We just didn't know about it yet.
But at least Andy Dick did it in a hilariously bad not ruin the world just his own reputation and the times of everyone around him kind of way. Also I loved news radio when I was a kid.
There was a time before Andy Dick went off the deep end?
Dude gave drugs to his costar's unstable wife, which led up to that costar's death. And then told another costar "you're next." That kind of behavior doesn't appear out of nowhere.
Holy shit. That’s awful but darkly and deeply funny. Like cartoonishly evil.
He followed the money.
The money petrol interests put into his wallet.
That's not how that phrase works
Bahahahaha
Amazing joke. No notes.
He doesn't need to because he's a masterdebater
The list of things Rogan doesn't understand would rival the entirety of the internet printed on paper and would also comedy.
Which btw, just wanted to share a dissertation of his lack of understanding comedy
Joe Rogan doesn't understand.
Who is tiny hat man? He sounds like the real issue here.
Probably Ben Shapiro given the context?
Someone make a remix of the song "Scotty doesn't know" and replace it with Joe
There's not much that Rogan does understand.
We need to stop allowing stupid people to be influencers.
Even in the MMA world he is considered to have no idea what hes talking about. He still treats MMA like its 2010
The video makes it clear that Joe Rogan "did not understand" the Wapo article during 6 different podcast episodes. This is method. There's a reason this guy is still being promoted though wildly off-base.
Great episode as always! And here's some related CanCon.
Did not know about this channel, but am subscribed now. Thanks for sharing!
I found it recently as well.
People like rogan deserve to fight the coming eternal wildfires forever. Fuck that pos.
You could fill the Pacific Ocean with what Joe Rogan doesn’t understand.
Discussion of climate, how it is changing, activism around that, the politics, and the energy systems change we need in order to stabilize things.
As a starting point, the burning of fossil fuels, and to a lesser extent deforestation and release of methane are responsible for the warming in recent decades:
How much each change to the atmosphere has warmed the world:
Recommended actions to cut greenhouse gas emissions in the near future:
Anti-science, inactivism, and unsupported conspiracy theories are not ok here.
