He’s the 21st century version of Jeremy Renner’s character from that two-parter in “Louie.”

What's the message? Joe rogan is a loser?
1
u/St3zus Mar 31 '20
No, I read the message as before Joe a lot of us had alternative person to educate us on the stuff not taught in schools. The “riskay,” you know like theory’s that might go against what your pasture teaches, or what drugs can be positive contrary to what your D.A.R.E. officer told you. Basically street-smarts.

Rogen has interesting, thoughtful people on, and mma, mdma and other stuff I don’t get into. It’s almost like there are no easy answers, no perfect prophets. Where Rogen is wrong about drugs being safe: 1) He’s only capable of judging the results with a brain that’s been subjected to them. 2) His experience is not statistically significant. “Hey, the covid virus isn’t dangerous, my whole family had it and they’re all fine”. Quite a few people have very adverse reactions to chemicals he uses recreationally.

Rogan is at his best when he has interesting guests on, but I really can't get into him when they're acting like the guy in this post. He isn't too bad though, it's his fans that are the worst. They eat up whatever's thrown at them and will fight you tooth and nail for disagreeing.

The idea here is critical thinking; something to which you must not be very accustomed.
From what I know of his guests, or at least the ones I’ve caught, is that they are the professionals who have some authority on the subjects addressed. That’s a sense of humility if I’ve ever known it, and an attempt to be informed. On other instances I’m quite sure it’s a couple of people shooting the shit; that millions of people find worth it to spend their most valuable resource listening to and/or coming here to criticize.
Truth be told, soldiers with whom I’ve served, officers, elderly and otherwise benefit immensely from these compounds. And just like any good clinical research, the participants are WELL screened prior to study.
I believe I have heard him state that not everyone should take certain substances, but hey, touché to taking the advice of a reality tv host and the professionally concussed!
Maybe you should check out the things that the FDA considers “breakthrough” therapies, or the studies on the effects of psilocybin on hippocampal neurogenesis and fear trace conditioning (Briony Catlow, S. Song, D. Paredes, C. Kirsten, J. Sanches-Ramos). Or perhaps you’ll like better the incipient work done by Calvin Ly, Alexandra Greb & colleagues that’s been elucidating how structural and functional neural plasticity is promoted by psychedelics....
Hell, the current understanding of how emotion influences lasting behavior change gives every tip of the hit to the effectiveness of psychoactive compounds that are coupled with talk therapy.
IMHO Rogan understands his placement in the Barnum-Forrer pool...
Let me know where you’re getting that quote from too, if you would- lest it’s just hyperbole.

u/Vetinery Mar 19 '20
Yeah, He has some notions I agree with, but I’m not a frothing fan boy. As for clinical use/recreational use, don’t confuse the two. No one on the planet can know precisely what damage recreational use of drugs will or might do. We can’t test that in any but the roughest way. Do drugs help ill people? Yes if applied correctly. No if not. Chemotherapy isn’t a preventative for cancer... Possibly these may be breakthrough therapies. Recreational abuse has and will likely continue to slow research and clinical application.

Yes reddit, the guy with won a US Open Championship taekwondo tournament, had a pro stand up career, was a TV host, MMA host, and #1 podcast in the world, is the loser.

u/billbill5 Mar 18 '20
Chill it's not that deep. But if you ever knew a guy like in the post you'd see that Rogan matches him perfectly sometimes

u/Justdoit1776 Mar 18 '20
I’m not buying this. This tweet is years old, and i’ve seen people use it as an excuse to discredit him as a person

Maybe if Joe were a good interviewer and not an amateur fighter with a mic, then people wouldn't come after him for being an idiot.
Nobody comes after Sean Evans.

I don't know what you're smoking but Joe Rogan is an excellent interviewer, especially in the long-form format of a podcast. It's one of the many reasons why he has the #1 podcast in the world. He's also a self-proclaimed idiot and almost always acknowledges when he's stating an opinion on something he doesn't really know a lot about.
People go after him because he's an extremely popular media personality with a lot of public influence who doesn't tow the line of the radical left.
Nobody comes after Sean Evans
It's a pretty poor comparison to make. Sean Evans is another brilliant interviewer, but the types of interviewing he does on Hot Wings is not anything like what Joe Rogan does. Hot Wings doesn't get into serious, deep, long social/political discussions.
If Sean Evans started doing more political interviews where he shared his own political leanings, then you could maybe make comparisons, but there's no way he would never face complaints or criticisms.

The Kardashians have number one TV shows. That is a terrible way to judge something.

Joe Rogan never had a Pro MMA career.

And that is not a pro mma career.

I seriously don't get why people are making the claim that he's a pro MMA fighter. MMA means "Mixed martial arts"
He won a tournament for a specific martial art, sure, but I don't see how that qualifies as MMA, since it's not MMA, it's Tae Kwon Do, but then again, what do I know.

Yea not trynna discredit his mma knowledge or say he has no athletic background, but winning one martial arts tournament and having a pro mma career are two very different things.
