    Joe Rogan has brain damage. Why people listen to him is beyond me. He is so far from the “average” guy it isn’t funny.

      I remembered Fear Factor a few months ago and felt sad, then old, then sad again.

    Joe Rogan is clearly functionally illiterate… his success is a raging sign of how low education and critical thinking are amongst Muricans

    The temperature on Earth is plummeting. Look at the drop at the end, that’s where we are

    The 3 hottest years ever (in post industrialized records) will be 2023-2025. By a large margin as well. The hottest years ever are all since 2014.

    There was climate denialism after 1998 el nino set a record that was unbeaten for over a decade, but since, el ninos create a new step up in global temperatures.

    He does this by citing a study that says it’s warming and he reads it wrong. I believe it says the earth is in a cooling period and he stops there. What it says is yes, there is a natural cooling and heating cycle, and we are in the cooling period of that cycle BUT we are heating dispite this period. We are getting hotter faster in the cooling period than we ever know the earth heated naturally.

    It’s like it’s bed time, we are awake and blaming the caffeine but he insists “no we are asleep because I read it’s bed time”

        Climate Town did a good video on this: https://youtu.be/r1bMJekCiBw

        To paraphrase, the graph in question is so zoomed out (to include all earth’s history) that it’s like asking someone to tell you what colour a specific roof is from a satellite image of an entire country. (If you do zoom in to the relevant parts climate change is obviously happening)

      Unfortunately a lot of people, especially a lot of young boys and men, seems to have been basically brought up listening to this moron. He has been incredibly influential in spreading right wing lies and creating new generations of fascists.

      He’s basically the spokesperson / chief propagandist of the current american administration, I don dont think we should stop giving a fuck. I think we should force him to fight wildfires forever

        No, its worse than that.

        The core of his appeal was/is that he was/is an average Gen X macho meatheaded dudebro who is an idiot, but also thinks he is clever in ways most people don’t appreciate, thinks that his ‘common sense’ is sufficient to sniff out bullshit.

        He is an aspirational figure for millions of older male losers, a father figure for younger male losers / kids from broken families.

        He is also basically a near perfect embodiment of the Dunning Kruger effect.

        In fact, I’m just gonna directly shill this video from the Elephant Graveyard here, it is recent, and an utterly phenomenonal explanation of … what Joe Rogan has done to the ‘comedy’ scene, and wider society as a whole.

        Anyone reading this: please watch this if you have not already, hell, get some popcorn.

          I second your recommendation of that video. Those Elephant Graveyard videos are really good.

          Exactly! Dude is a walking talking confirmation bias.

          Andrew Tate teaches kids to think stupid things.

          Joe Rogan teaches people to think in stupid ways.

          If Jordan Peterson could just cut back on his use of multi-syllabic words he’d blow Rogan out of the water.

            LoL, but that’s Pererson’s whole personality. Pretending that he’s the smartest man in the room by using big words that he believes no one else knows the meaning of. And to the empty headed morons who actually listen to him, he’s right.

    Joe Rogan is a dumb person’s idea of what a smart person acts like. “I’m just asking questions” is not a good excuse to continuously espouse misinformation and give right-wing nutjobs an international voice.

        Saw clip of him fact checking himself on his own show, finding out he was wrong and then choosing to believe his own false claims because he liked them more… Like, spoken aloud that he is going with what he said because he liked it better… Said the words. Definitely intentional.

    Why do people listen to him or believe him? Its like people watching history channel’s ancient aliens show and taking it as fact. Its the same quality of information…

      I blame the History channel for much of our society’s issues. Ever since they stopped playing WW2 documentaries 24/7 and embraced the science fiction we have become more and more 1930s Germany. Without the consent reminder we have been slipping

    Part of the problem is that climate change is not uniform across the entire planet, and local weather patterns vary in different places. The other part of the problem is that Joe Rogan is a fucking idiot.
