Joe Rogan and Bret Weinstein Promote AIDS Denialism to an Audience of Millions
Weinstein repeated discredited theories to Rogan about HIV not being the cause of AIDS, alarming and infuriating public health experts.
You're viewing a single thread.
Joe Rogan is the living embodiment of being so open minded that your brains fall out.
I mean that’s beautifully put…..
But unfortunately it’s simpler than that. It’s the story of a reasonable man that achieved beyond his dreams and then flipped sides because of money and status.
“Suddenly I have an opinion on the capital gains tax.” Type of stuff.
Was he a 'reasonable man' before or after he decided the moon landings were fake?
Many reasonable people believe all sorts of nutty shit.
Until it becomes actively harmful, I don’t care much.
I'm not seeing how you can be both reasonable and believe there is a vast government and scientific conspiracy to cover up multiple fake moon landings. Sort of seems like a one or the other thing to me.
Maybe you need to get out more 😝
I don’t personally believe in it, but I also don’t care if you do.
It's not about what you personally care about, it's about what you are defining as a reasonable person. It does explain why so many people think Trump is a very stable genius though.
I suspect he means reasonable as in "a normal decent person you could be good neighbors or colleagues with" not a reasonable person as in "a person endowed with the faculty of reason".
I see. That makes more sense. Thank you.
Bingo.
I, too, have an opinion on the capital gains tax. It should be taxed at the same rate as income. We can let them keep the exception on the first half million in profit because I'm feeling nice today.
It’s actually higher in many scenarios.
What needs to be taxed like income is loans against the stocks
Or a simple .01 cent financial transaction tax. Absolutely no effect on the average person, a huge way to raise revenue from bankers and stock traders.
Agreed, or just a minimum amount of time that stocks can be owned to kill the high-frequency traders.
Oh yeah that's right. I forgot about Buy, Borrow, Die.
I agree, though I'd have to do something thinking about the exact right way to implement a tax on that kind of behavior.
Tax idle stock while you're at it. 1% per share, per current price, per quarter.
You guys invent the most imaginative stories. You could even be a guest on Rogan it is so interesting!
Ok, I’ll bite, you don’t believe he’s changed?
Or you think he’s still very reasonable?
Make your case
He's become more defiant at people screaming for him to change for sure. And he's hardened his stance on progressives trying to live out others lives. But not in the sense that I'm reading from you and others. He's not becoming new gop cheerleader or corporate mascot (outside the actual ads of course) or flipped as you call it. Fuck he was never on your side before COVID and everyone flipped their shit. He had on all sorts of people.
As for question 2, no he was never reasonable, he's a fucking moron.
He's just an idiot, he doesn't like to be told what to do, and he's now going to let the Internet screaming at him change what he does. It's not done plot. He's just an idiot and progressives have gone full crazy on him.
My side? lol you’re assuming a lot, you don’t know my side, you just know the I think rogan is an asshat.
He’s got a big platform and he’s allowing the promotion of some fairly harmful content….. that in itself seems like a problem, no?
I definitely believe that he just “doesn’t like to be told what to do”, that’s entirely his vibe.
I’m curious what you mean by “progressives trying to live out other peoples lives”
Take my wife!
This is a 9 minute beat poem about a conversation with a podcaster.
In an airy studio, mics standing proud and tall,A host with a voice smooth as a vinyl’s call. Across the table, there sits a guest, Eyes bright, ready to contest.
The host begins, “Welcome, listeners, to our weekly dive, Where thoughts and ideas vividly come alive. Today’s guest, someone quite unique, Brings perspectives some might seek.”
And there she was, her aura all aglow, Storm, not her name, but what she seemed to sow. With every word, a challenge, a fight, Against the conventional, the known, the right…
