Good on Joe Rogan


Hope it spurs him on to look at everything. What is wrong with getting a balanced view and trying to understand people's beliefs and what they think is going on. The more we question the more we understand. Seems like a certain group don't like this and the fact that Joe Rogan is worldwide to the masses worries them.

reply

it is not a balanced view. all peoples beliefs aren't worth hearing and can actively encourage misinformation.

As one example for instance and I am not saying this happened on Rogans show I did not look up if he has talked to one. The more we push flat earther conspiracies and "question the cosmological mainstream narrative" the more we do not actually understand.

in particular if you have a host who doesnt have the knowledge, hasn't done the research and doesn't have the understanding to challenge them on lies, misconceptions and snake oil.

No rogan is actively a spreader of misinformation, snake oil, charlatanism and pseudo intellectualism because he as a host doest have the knowledge to challenge them on basic things. I constantly see people on the show spread nonsense. And while Rogan often challenges people, sometimes he just doesnt know what he doesnt know. it gives them a seeming legitimacy or like there is no rebuttal to their point and what they said is true.

I am not saying cancel or stop him. I m simply describing the reality.

What do you mean "push flat eather conspiracies"? They're easily debunked with reality. You can literally attach a balloon to a GoPro camera and let it float up into the stratosphere to see that the Earth is not flat. There are literal videos on YouTube showing the process in real-time:
https://youtu.be/CQGjNu6Inak

Conspiracy lie debunked.

That's how science is supposed to work... you test and question the method, and if it doesn't hold up to scrutiny it's untrue.

What's funny is that the Church and authorities held the same view as you when Galileo proposed the Earth rotated around the sun. The only way to challenge such a hypothesis is to test it, not bury it.

If people have an issue with what is said on Rogan's show, they're more than welcome to challenge any of the data. But it's quite telling that ALL government agencies and health authorities refuse to release or allow third-party peer-reviewed studies on the death rates associated with the vaccines. Why is that if they're so "safe and effective"?

reply

to you and me sure! But often they use legitimate sounding jargon, or straight up real terms ut just purposely misinterpret it or its conclusions. And if it's so easy to debunk, why are there so many of them who believe it still? A large number of current believers kinda disproves what you are saying.

the problem is they are false equivocating actual science with what they are doing, which often isn't in the real of hard sciences ut social science.

and here comes the "science is just like the church" now.


"If people have an issue with what is said on Rogan's show, they're more than welcome to challenge any of the data."?

that is the whole problem! not only is it harder to correct a lie than speak one. The large number of people he reaches will likely never hear yours or others YouTube video rebuttal to the single line lie purported on his show.


"But it's quite telling that ALL government agencies and health authorities refuse to release or allow third-party peer-reviewed studies on the death rates associated with the vaccines. Why is that if they're so "safe and effective""

And here it starts. didn't take you long to show true colours sir. You watched the Malone interview and are now an expert virologist...

reply

That doesn't compute. CNN, MSNBC, ABC or any mainstream news source can very easily challenge the data if it's false. What part of the data is false? The mainstream is the one AVOIDING actual data, and simply projecting platitudes with no hard science behind it, or with quotes from "scientists" with no empirical or observable data to test.

And here it starts. didn't take you long to show true colours sir. You watched the Malone interview and are now an expert virologist...


I actually haven't had time to watch Dr. Malone's interview, I'm going by standard data analyst trends that have been utilized for decades as a way to safeguard against the spread of faulty data and misinterpreted analysis.

EVERY drug is supposed to go through rigorous testing and longitudinal studies before being allowed on the public marketplace, yet that didn't happen with these current drugs. Pfizer nor the government will even allow third-party researchers to peer review their vials and test against control groups in longitudinal tests; the DoD is also refusing to fund studies for alternative treatments. Why?

Pfizer is also refusing to allow study administrators to collect cardiovascular events related to the vaccines during their Phase III and Phase IV testing. Why? The FDA has even admitted that they have no idea what the under-reporting rate is from SAEs related to the vaccines. Why?

And again, WHY are government agencies and health authorities preventing the reporting of death-rates for the vaccines? Did you ever question this?

reply

CNN and MSNBC and ABC's job isn't to follow every single Joe Rogan podcast and correct every single misconception, lie ect. that does not compute. We were talking about the brand notion of multiple of rogans guests being charlatan liars and you just say "he mainstream is the one AVOIDING actual data, and simply projecting platitudes with no hard science behind it, or with quotes from "scientists" with no empirical or observable data to test. "

sir you need to make sense if we are to continue talking.


well sir enjoy your padded room I mean very logical smart theories...

reply

CNN and MSNBC and ABC's job isn't to follow every single Joe Rogan podcast and correct every single misconception, lie ect.


Yes, it is. That's exactly what a news organization is supposed to do if they're claiming he's spreading misinformation, as they have in the past.

If I claim someone is spreading misinformation, the onus is on me to say how.

We were talking about the brand notion of multiple of rogans guests being charlatan liars


We can't work from the motive of assumptions, we must first clarify and identify how they are charlatan liars. This goes back to the claimant being responsible for identifying what exactly is/are lies and what harm they could cause by identifying what the facts are and why those facts are the hard, absolute truth.

Without identifying and examining the data claimed to be false, no one can appropriately signify what makes the data false by simply sweeping anything that isn't said on mainstream under the umbrella of being "lies/misinformation".

I've still yet to figure out exactly by Rogan's detractors what is specifically "misinformation"? Do you know?

reply

No it is not. are you being for real right now? his podcasts are long they do not comb through every one and correct every single mistake on the nightly news.

sir you are making no sense.

here is a good article touching on various issues

reply

No it is not. are you being for real right now? his podcasts are long they do not comb through every one and correct every single mistake on the nightly news.


Then how do they know it's misinformation if they don't comb through it to find the so-called mistakes?

here is a good article touching on various issues


There is zero facts involved with their opinionated evisceration of Rogan. They share an opinion of why they DON'T like Rogan or his opinions, but they offer ZERO hard science to counteract anything said on his podcast, especially related to COVID.

Again, if there is ACTUAL misinformation, people need to present legitimate, irrefutable facts to oppose the alleged misinformation. Instead, the article you linked simply decries the opinions Rogan shares... how exactly does that depict anything said on the show as "misinformation" rather than the media disliking Rogan's opinions?

Do you know what hard science is or how the scientific method is utilized? Because apparently the author of that article doesn't understand how the scientific method works and is instead utilizing a logical fallacy known as appeal to authority, essentially claiming that because Rogan isn't the right kind of authority, his opinions are "misinformation".

reply

because other people/organizations have?!?! including the article I gave you!?!? and because multiple people he has brought on are known for that?? Are you being purposely dense or?

"Rogan platformed Dr. Andrew Weil, one of the kings of promoting unproven and disproven pseudomedical remedies, who ridiculed the idea that placebo effects needed to be ruled out from studies. For the record, they have to be subtracted, though, because they represent non-specific effects of everything but the intervention. However, Weil claimed enthusiastically that they should be ruled in because “that’s the meat of medicine, that’s pure healing from within.” This shows a stunning misunderstanding of scientific research."


"ogan also hosted Bret Weinstein, a former biology professor turned podcasting conspiracy theorist, and Dr. Pierre Kory, a critical care physician, for an emergency broadcast on the use of ivermectin for COVID-19 during which the taking of this antiparasitic drug was said to yield “near-perfect protection” against the disease. This is not the case."

"Abigail Shrier was welcomed on the show to talk about her provocatively titled book, Irreversible Damage: The Transgender Craze Seducing Our Daughters. The book promotes a made-up diagnosis, “rapid-onset gender dysphoria,"

"Being interested in nutrition, Rogan has also aired long conversations with people on the topic of diets. Perhaps the strangest of all was with Mikhaila Peterson, who is not a dietitian, claiming that a diet consisting exclusively of beef and salt cured her arthritis. There are many, many problems with this “carnivore diet,” and it baffles me that Peterson is someone Rogan would look to for insight on what to eat."

When all else fails. just dont read the link somone sent you and act like you did!


"a logical fallacy known as appeal to authority, essentially claiming that because Rogan isn't the right kind of authority, his opinions are "misinformation"."

That is in no way an appeal to authority fallacy. You sire are talking out of your ass. please go do some basic research.

Sir I cannot explain to you basic things and expect an adult conversation. You do not even have an intellectual grasp of one of the most simplest logical fallacies.

reply

because other people/organizations have?!?! including the article I gave you!?!? and because multiple people he has brought on are known for that?? Are you being purposely dense or?


Did you read the quotes you quoted? Dr. Andrew Weil shared an opinion about control group testing, one I don't agree with, but it's his opinion. How is that misinformation?

Dr. Weinstein said Ivermectin worked as an anti-parasitic drug; that is literally what Ivermectin was approved by the FDA for back in 1998:
https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/drugsatfda_docs/nda/98/50-742s001_Stromectol.cfm

And has proven to work as an anti-parasitic solution both for COVID-19 and the COVID vaccines:
https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0166354220302011

It was also used to successfully treat the residents of Utter Pradesh in India:
https://indianexpress.com/article/cities/lucknow/uttar-pradesh-government-says-ivermectin-helped-to-keep-deaths-low-7311786/

Again, the onus is on you (and the alleged "authorities") to provide counter-facts. The article you linked is engaging in what's called sophistry by using a non-sequitur. Nothing they say disproves Dr. Weinstein's facts.

Also Abigail Shrier is 100% correct, transgenderism is a psychological disorder that has zero net benefits for the people who indulge in that lifestyle, with a very high-suicide rate for pre and post-transition individuals:
https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0016885

Also, Mikhaila Peterson shared HER opinion for a diet that worked for HER. How is that misinformation when it's HER experience?

That is in no way an appeal to authority fallacy.


It is when someone is claiming that anything that isn't from approved "authorities" is misinformation.

reply

my opinion is gravity doesnt exist. How can that be misinformation? thats my opinion!

apparently you didn't red what it said. Ivermectin having some Benefit is quite different than ivermectin has "“near-perfect protection” against the disease"

sir I am done here. you yourself are ignoring the information to suit your minds storyline.

You still don't even know what an appeal to authority is. it is literally in the name.

reply

my opinion is gravity doesnt exist. How can that be misinformation? thats my opinion!


It can be your opinion, but your opinion is wrong. Why? Because we can test your opinion by testing gravity -- you can send yourself hurtling down the steps and if gravity doesn't exist you'll just float. If it does, you'll fall.

Do you see how that hypothesis is put to a simple test? Which is why we call gravity a theory (ergo, because it can be tested) and not a hypothesis. Your opinion failed a basic scientific test.

apparently you didn't red what it said. Ivermectin having some Benefit is quite different than ivermectin has "“near-perfect protection” against the disease"


Maybe it does? It's still a valid opinion because so far, through testing, it has had near perfect-protection against the disease. Researchers wanted to put it through rigorous testing but the Department of Defense forbade it. Why?

sir I am done here. you yourself are ignoring the information to suit your minds storyline.


No, I've addressed all the information you put forward, but you haven't answered any of the questions I put forward about why the death-rates for the vaccines are being withheld, and why testing is being withheld for peer reviewed studies, and why alternative treatment methods are being forbidden by government agencies and research authorities.

You still don't even know what an appeal to authority is. it is literally in the name.


Leftists are claiming non-scientific outlets like CNN are authorities on COVID (hence why they've never been banned or deplatformed for spreading misinformation). Leftists are claiming that since Joe isn't reiterating CNN talking points, he's spreading misinformation.

They are literally claiming left-wing, non-medical news outlets like CNN, MSNBC, ABC, et al, are authorities on health information, when in fact they are not.

The goalposts never moved. I simply added a identifier in the second sentence, which was "Leftists" and mainstream media (i.e., CNN), whereas in the first sentence I only alluded to people using the appeal to authority fallacy. It's called context.

It seemed pretty obvious that if Joe Rogan was being downplayed as not being an authority that the opposing information sources were the ones considered the "authority", and I figured those who could parse the subtext would make the connection without it needing to be explicitly typed out. But I realize the err on my part in assuming a level of comprehension from readers who could make the connection without needing a predication.

reply


'subtext" "predication" "identifier"

I very clearly explained everything. You re trying to sound more intelligent an analytic than you really are.

you got a basic term wrong. then tried to move the goalpost. Because this wasn't about CNN origionally, this was about Joe Rogan and your appeal to authority claim.

come back when you re an adult and learn basic terms

reply

The term still applies, because regardless of if it's CNN, MSNBC, or ABC, mainstream media is being used as an authority that the critics are appealing to in order to have Joe Rogan censored -- he's not toeing the line.

I very clearly explained everything. You re trying to sound more intelligent an analytic than you really are.


No one is trying to sound intelligent -- I'm literally explaining terms that are self-explanatory in my post; a lack of understanding from the reader is why I'm having to further explain things that are already quite cogent on their own for discerning individuals.

Then when on that same post about the anti mandate convoy having confederate flags, another right winger posted that it was obviously a CIA covert op to make them look back

Meanwhile Moviechatuser479 despite being sent video of hundreds of jan 6th rioters being violent said "there was only a couple violent, no weapons used, and all they did was shove past police". he also said the video wasnt real it was edited.

That GoPro YouTube video proves nothing. They are using a crappy camera lens which causing everything to look ballooned and curved. All rectilinear lines in the video appear to have some curvature depending on the direction the camera is facing.

reply

In the steady shots everything that's supposed to have rectitude does, here's an example with a line showing that the road is perfectly linear in the shot:
https://i.imgur.com/uVhbtMx.png

Near the end of the video you get a full 360 view rotation of the planet, and only North America is visible:
https://youtu.be/CQGjNu6Inak?t=7231

Here is additional footage from space, same thing:
https://youtu.be/3y0nHhFGXDo

Same thing with another one... no moon in sight, since it's on the other side of the planet:
https://youtu.be/ihA9YOcOaXU

If the planet was flat, both the sun and moon would be visible from space, but above the stratosphere you can easily see that the planet is quite rotund:
https://youtu.be/bDoh8zQDT38?t=91

reply

All I'm saying is there is distortion based on orientation of camera:

00:00:40 : https://imgur.com/Ls2eNzv (horizon has strong curvature)
00:00:41 : https://imgur.com/vIh0Nxb (horizon has less curvature)

A better example:

00:08:46 : https://imgur.com/b8FfPu3 (horizon appears concave)
00:08:47 : https://imgur.com/Ea9P2li (horizon appears flat)
00:08:48 : https://imgur.com/YIvlDXq (horizon appears strongly convex)

Obviously if the camera is oriented above the horizon, the horizon will appear concave; if below, then it's convex in appearance. So the whole video proves nothing. With the 00:08:46 image, you could argue that we live on the inside of a sphere.

And this one all the way up:

02:08:48 : https://imgur.com/hBoRBq5 (looks like we live on the inside of a sphere)

reply

Right, that's due to the fish-eye effect.

Obviously if the camera is oriented above the horizon, the horizon will appear concave; if below, then it's convex in appearance. So the whole video proves nothing.


The GoPro footage more-so proves that you can't see the whole planet from the stratosphere because it's not flat -- instead you only see the parts of the surface from the angle captured by what's rotated within view.

If the planet was flat, as the Flat Earthers say, once the GoPros hit the stratosphere you should be able to see the sun and moon, unless they believe the sun and moon rotate around the planet, which makes even less sense when you consider the other planets in the solar system.

That's not to mention that as the footage showcases, if the sun did rotate around a flat Earth, it would mean every nation on the planet would have the exact same day/night cycle, which obviously isn't the case. The different videos obviously show the sun at different positions around the planet, rather than under the planet.

So even if the GoPros don't show the whole planet (since they obviously can't reach the exosphere without a rocket) they still disprove the Flat Earth theory.

But SpaceX does have exosphere footage, which you can watch from their various livestreams, which does show the planet to be round:
https://youtu.be/aBr2kKAHN6M?t=5588

When more commercial space flights into the exosphere become common, people will be able to capture more user footage. Although, I have no idea how people will continue to maintain the Flat Earth ruse at that point.

Clearly flat. The Earth is just a flat circle as clearly shown in the GoPro.

this seems to give a good summation of how rogan seems to find value in it "not being the mainstream" makes it have some truth.

mandates are based on the best available current evidence to try and stop the spread.

the USA adjusting for population had 3x the deaths canada did. thats the only numbers I need

how did that anti mandate work out for you?

reply

You are oversimplifying the issue.
Sweden barely had any mandates and it featured only a few more deaths than Canada per capita.
USA has many major issues - including the obesity pandemic. You are looking at the mandates as being the cause of lower number of deaths in countries outside of the US, while the reality is such that the real cause of deaths is not related to mandates at all.

We also need to be mindful of how deaths are counted at all - as they tend to differ in every country. USA goes extreme - counting 'with covid' and 'because of covid' as one and the same. It also provides by far bigger incentives to hospitals to inflate covid numbers.

You are referencing a pseudo-scientist shill who is a proponent of the 'ivermectin is a horse dewormer' narrative - try harder next time.

So yes adjusting for a population like Canadas, Sweden would have 60k covid deaths. vs Canadas

You cant even be bothered to do the basics?

1. did you even read the tweet.
2. he isnt a pseudo scientist. he is a real scientist.

Which conspiracy theory dont you prescribe to sir??

1. made-up covid numbers
2. its all due to obesity
3. mandates dont work.

not related to mandates? says you? not the experts thought. Sweden also took the virus more seriously and has a higher vaccine rate.

crazy where you will deny English etymology to push your political point.. the right wing have gone over the edge.

reply

There is no way to censor lies without censoring the truth. It only does more damage to try (which is something Americans once understood). Today, it seems progressives only trust themselves to distinguish truth from lies even though they - like everyone else - routinely fail when the lie suits their interests. They live by the philosophy: “You cannot be trusted to judge the credibility of information on your own…. I, as a superior intellect, must make sure you are programmed with the correct thoughts.” They get people to capitulate by fear of being ostracized rather than conviction. That is an authoritarian recipe doomed to failure. Rogan’s popularity is because his audience seeks controversial and dissenting views because to hear unapproved dialogue provides a sense of freedom. It also happens to annoy those who think themselves the better. Thus IMHO, this whole exercise to silence and “de-platform” Rogan has only amplified his voice.

reply

Curious where I said any of these people should be censored?

no sometimes misinformation is just misinformation. And yes if someone brings on a flat earther, I will use my superior intellect to mock them as they should be. The problem with America is the "progressives want to censor everything". Its things like Joe Rogan guests and you.. Where you give a false equivalence between facts, reality and science being equal to unsupported opinion and quackery nut jobs. often the right criticize leftist postmodernist nonsense position on "truth".

But that seems to be the rights entire belief. There is no superior way of thinking, there is no facts. my insane conspiracy theories and quackery is equal to and should be given the same amount of respect as legitimate science.

Okay sir. Everything is authoritarianism and the progressives.

I’m not giving any equivalence between factual and baseless positions and I think you’re too eager to paint the defending of somebody’s right to speak as tantamount to agreeing with them. I encourage high standards of accuracy and criticism of conjecture especially when it comes to an issue of the magnitude of a pandemic. However, I stand by my position that these highly publicized efforts to silence Rogan via threats and ultimatums are obnoxious and will only attract a larger audience; the complete opposite of what was intended by Young.

Rogan is informing millions. Something the Democrat party/media hasn’t done for decades.
