+Caroline Corman I like Brian Greene but watch a physicist try and make you laugh, its awful. Michio Kaku's sense of humor is atrocious. He may be a genius but his personality is about as bland as it gets. Your not automatically an idiot if you don't understand physics, in fact I'm willing to bet a few so called idiots are far brighter than you.
That's actually a good sign. It means connections are being made and neural pathways are being laid. If your muscles don't feel sore after a workout, you're doing it wrong, same principle applies when learning science or math, but really all learning in general.
Opie's "hmmm", "wow", "woah", "damn" are just noises. He grasped none of
this.
It's like explaining the interactions between a truck's clutch, flywheel,
and transmission to a box turtle.
Its like when he asks someone about something he doesn't know, then when it is explained to him, he'll answer with, "Right". As if he knew it all along!
God does not play dice with the world as Einstein famously said Guess what
he was wrong and Niels Bohr later proved that because of Quantum physics
god does indeed play dice with the world.
It is probabilities, the chance and therefor this notion that there is a
free will is also not a correct thing, there is indeed no freewill only
probability of chances.
I know is disturbing for most religious people, and whatever makes you
comfortable but understanding the truth without not caring about the
emotional consequences is what science is about. what is right not what
makes you feel good
There is a book of Hitchens friend and Neuro-scientist Sam Harris called "Free Will" good read and make some interesting and disturbing arguments against free will. I do not try to believe in what feels good, or does not but what is the truth as we understand it currently.
I know that this is hardly a forum for a conversation on God or physics, but why would you think that free will and chance cant exist in the same world? And wouldn't a world without God be a world of free will? As the late Christopher Hitchens said, "We would no choice but to have free will."
"Bill Bradley's Deliberate Practice" with Robert Greene (from Joe Rogan Experience podcast #464)

deliberate practice is not practice something that you are not good at, it
is a way to practice something without any apparent schedule so the brain
doesn't see it as practice or obligation. it is a common principle in
music, itwas used by people like Mozart.
Spanning world civilizations, synthesizing dozens of political, philosophical, and religious texts and thousands of years of violent conflict, The 33 Strategies of ...
not sure how being realistic coincides with motivating yourself by making
enemies and exaggeration of differences to motivate yourself. so you can
dump your crap on someone without feeling guilty. This advice results in
the average YouTube comments section and doesn't lead anywhere
+St tom in fact cooperation and being able to trust another are what he leaves out. the Japanese model is based on this, allowing them to become a superpower with very little natural resources
+FubakaNG no one is 100% sure of anything. smarter men then I have been tricked into believing falsehoods. I definitely know what's most realistic. someone else's goals maybe just as worthy. And if someone else's goals aren't as worthy, I'm not going to demonize them or kick the dog.
+FubakaNG but that doesn't make them an enemy. someone can be wrong, but if I use them as a punching bag and don't feel any guilt over it that's extremely immature and petty. people that start shit, usually get paid back in kind, even if it's bullying. this part of his advice is at the expense of society by setting up conflict for ones own gain and using others to dump on because they're views are different
+St tom You really don't have to look far to find someone whose views are diametrically opposed to yours. It's not so much about making enemies as identifying them.
I really enjoyed "art of war" and came looking for similar books. I
listened to the first 40 minutes and it's 25% good advice and 75%
rationalizing why it's okay and even beneficial to be deliberately hostile
towards other people. (Which in terms of strategy is, in my opinion,
inherently bullshit. Creating pointless struggles and fights, turning
non-issues into problems, antagonizing people who otherwise could be your
friends and allies.. It's a recipe for defeat, not victory.)
Starting off as a harmless guide for average people to handle everyday
situations Robert Green effortlessly plunges into giving morally highly
questionable advice about using uninhibited trickery to - and let me just
go ahead and quote here - "deceive, manipulate and seduce people" to
aspiring dictators. His moral justification to use such shady tactics seems
to be a singular argument, namely that 'come on dude, don't be such a
pussy, everyone else is doing it, don't you want to get ahead in the
world'. If there is a guide to being an demagog (like the historical
warlords and conquerers, megalomaniacs frighteningly used in this book as
positive examples of effectivity) this is it. I admire some of the aspects
of his approach to trivial confrontation, but this is exactly the sort of
book that Hitler must have grown up on. How Greene seems to have no
problems with so directly and encouragingly dishing out these advices to
any ill-minded sociapath is completely beyond me.
+Lőcsei Bence Social progress and a world run on values of openness and cooperation isn't really a thing. Humans work toward their own self interest. Always have , always will. That can be good if people enjoy helping others. Unfortunately not everyone does. Worse yet, a lot of people only care about themselves, their family or whatever tribe they choose to belong to. Those people will work to better their own situation at the expense of others. This book, like the 48 Laws of Power, is as much about recognizing and protecting yourself from the laws/strategies as they are about using them.
+lordmeurte I understand that. I see that a lot of people work like this and I find it useful to be able to recognize when someone is doing it to you and maybe apply a counter-strategy. I can also see that this is very clearly how the political arena works and while I find this to be a huge problem, if not "the" problem, I see that there is little to be done about that right now.My problem is with a general indiscrimination of Greene's regarding the scope of his book and his target audience, promising success to virtually everyone in any situation. For Greene the "war" seems to be your life and the "enemy" seems to be everyone.He suggest to apply his techniques while dealing with your coworkers, employees and even your family and loved ones under the pretense that everyone else in every given moment is already doing it anyway and if you don't get into the game you will get destroyed sooner or later. This is a massive generalization that is just empirically not true. Not everyone is or wants to be a player, a lot of people base their life on values of directness, honesty and harmony. Starting to play these people you will not just ruin your chance of establishing true, deep connections but you will potentially ruin your life by starting needless wars that did not exist before.Also, playing Greene's war games is not a suitable path towards happiness for many if not most people while the feasibility of operating like this strongly depends on your specific environment.Greene encourages you to dominate but never makes you stop and think wether you're even the sort of person who could or should dominate. His monochrome example stories insinuate the notion, that whoever is reading his book is a potential leader and on the side of good and justice and reaching his goals is a net benefit to humankind. Domination is not for everyone. For many people and in many lines of work flexibility, adaptiveness and cooperation is a much more suited path to move forward and playing these games for example at a workplace where I come from would get you socially ostracized by your team within about a week and probably fired shortly after.At last, there are people with a pre-existing tendency towards paranoia, who will simply start to see wars everywhere, furthering only their mental affliction.I see this book doing 4 things:- Encouarging paranoia and deceitfullness in the avarage reader- Supplying wannabe dictators with tools to further their selfish agenda- Hindering social progress towards a world run on values of openness and cooperationSo that's my problem.
this isn't the 33 strategies of happy go lucky fun times. it the 33 strategies of war. War sometimes requires the most vicious and brutal methods to achieve victory.
Richard Dawkins & Bill Maher Call Out "Regressive Left"
Richard Dawkins and Bill Maher call out the “regressive left” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LvvQJ_zsL1U –On the Bonus Show: Louis' whereabouts and a ...
I'm completely against silly movements like third wave feminism and such
which I consider to be the 'regressive left' but I think a lot of people
fail to understand just why people on the left don't generally focus as
hard on such things as Islam and the actions of Palestinians. Its because
people on the left put more importance on asking 'what caused this?' rather
than what had simply happened. This comes from the philosophy that it is
better to try and prevent a problem rather than simply reacting to one.
Reacting generally ends badly (take the Iraq war for example)...
People on the left still care about the problem and would probably agree
with some kind of punishment or even admit that someone's beyond
help/reason but they're not going to be interested in venting their self
righteousness since they're more likely to be aware of the factors that
created the situation and are going to be more interested in solving them.
People aren't as black and white as people seem to think, they are products
of their environment so its important to look at their environment first
and try to understand the different factors other than the glaringly
obvious ones. Religion for example (whilst is indeed still part of the
problem) is often just a tool, a conduit, for people to vent their feelings
into... if theres no religion they'll find the next best thing such as
communism or even todays third wave feminism. When a persons life is
largely positive however you often see positive results from religion.
Its a matter of understanding whats wrong with humanity as a whole to
understand our problems and how to solve them rather than focusing on the
little details... the little details are in fact part of whats wrong with
us.
+Helsync Helsync The only reason for the U.S, Iraq war, was the U.S. didn't want Saddam and several other countries to change from the green back, to another pay for oil monetary system...If it had of happened, the U.S. would have gone into a recession, due to it having a fiat money banking cartel-called the fed, or should I say-The privately owned zionist fed bank...(fiat money-no gold/silver-just imaginary funds to back the dollar) PS. It's not even (fiat$) based on the GDP.
+Arnold Thomsen I don't personally believe in eradication. I do however believe that many, many need to be deported back to their homeland. ISIS needs to be decimated in order to open up these countries to allow people to return. We have to acknowledge that multiculturalism can work but in slow steady numbers, and with relative similar belief systems.
this is funny, because "regressive left" is exactly what shows like Pakman
and TYT and all their supporters have been for years. Now that they realize
it's getting unpopular, they are denouncing it. The same way politicians
like Hillary are constantly changing their views to go with public opinion.
+RayZon97 The people distancing themselves from the extremist faction fastest are regular "moderate lefties" (which is like saying "moderate authoritarian). They don't realize that demanding a law or government overreach for everything is AUTHORITARIAN until their kids get rid of that contradiction and go full dictator. Read "Liberal Fascism" by Jonah Goldberg, authoritarianism is its history.
Christian here, totally agree. These liberals have become the most
intolerant, unintelligent regressive ppl on earth. Not even fun debating
them. Christians are the ones with the balls, daring to criticize Islam.
liberal atheist only have balls to criticize Christianity, the religion
that brought them civilization and that they know will never attack for
being criticized.
did you understand the premise the video? the regressive left is what you describe. not every liberal is regressive. regressives are a small but vocal minority. usually found only on the internet it seems.
You can't compare the Palestinian struggle to anything else. That's just
idiotic. Palestinians have every right to attack Israelis. If you bulldozed
my home with my family still in it I would kill every single one of your
family members including your pets. Israel is a terrorist state that is
using American tax payers money to commit ethnic cleansing against
indigenous people because they believe that an invisible man in the clouds
gave them the green light. You want to talk about apologetics and
regressive left? No one is more apologetic and regressive than those who
support Israel's terrorists acts that have been condemned world wide.
You're a hypocrite.
Joe Rogan Experience #468 - Duncan Trussell, Christopher Ryan
Duncan Trussell is a stand-up comedian, and host of his own podcast "The Duncan Trussell Family Hour". Christopher Ryan, Ph.D. is a psychologist, speaker, ...
I'm in Scarborough in England and Chris Ryan's accent theory at 33 mins is
total bollocks.Its true most posh people have a similar accent regardless
of where there from which is called RP but you can't tell how posh they are
or what school they went to.
This is one of those podcasts where Joe keeps on interrupting and not being
able to listen to other people's opinions, holding on to his world view and
his on morals without listening to the other side of the story. Duncan is
awesome as always and contributes to the conversation.
Yepp, when a macho man like joe "know his right" no one can change his mind. It's so frustrating when you listen to people to whom you usually agree with 99% of the time and the you stumble upon that 1%, irritating to say the least.
+Ben Wherlock yah and I noticed Chris never bats an eye at that, he just trudges on, eternally confident he'll find something smart to say the next opportunity.
The moon/sun distance being equal in diameter to it's distance, etc, is
wrong/ It may seem like that, now, but the moon itself is slowly distancing
itself from Earth. There was a time(when the tides were too chaotic for
humans to exist) when the moon would have appeared many, many times larger
than the sun.
+Jason Simpson When the moon was closer it was also smaller. The moon is growing larger the further away it gets. Eventually it will be the same size as the sun and will merge with it.
24:00 I am sorry to say Chris, the church told the public that aztecs were
cannibals so the people would support the slaughter of them. They did have
a domesticated meat source...chihuahuas.
+7munkee Your propaganda is no match for the Lord's propaganda! That aside, they did have birds, but they may have feared Quetzalcoatl too much, to eat birds.
Joe's point about god and our limited senses is based on a false
assumption. He's assuming our natural senses are all we are able to detect
with. That's flat-out wrong. We have telescopes and microscopes that can
see the entire electromagnetic spectrum. We're even able to infer the
existence of things that we can't detect like dark matter and energy. The
notion that there is something out there that we can't detect is simply
baseless. It might be true, sure, just like it might be true that god
exists, but there is no reason to assume so given the lack of evidence.
We've detected a fuckload of shit that a person living 50,000 years ago
never could have.
I've got to assume Joe just had a brain fart because this point is
incredibly obvious. As he says it he's using technology that necessitates
our being able to detect shit that our flesh and bones cannot themselves
detect: radio waves.
+Danny Miller The claim that I was addressing was that there is something out there that we CAN'T detect. You're arguing about a claim (that neither Joe nor myself made) that there is nothing else out there that can be detected. I hope you see your error.
+CullTheLivingFlower It's as "baseless" as our ignorant assumption that we know it all, which is what humans have been doing for years. Remember what happened to that guy who tried to say the Earth wasn't the center of the universe?
+Brady W And that discredits him how? Why not point out one of the few things he's wrong about lol. Nothing wrong with being the drunkard that just has the money to point things out. Even if hes only right 75% of the time
Im angry at myself for caring so much about global warming and Im never
having kids, meanwhile there are millions of parents that say fuck it Il be
dead before It effects me. So you are all on your own.
I'm one of them and kindve just reading your comment made me think twice about it now I kindve feel like a dick for not caring about the world in which my way- in- the- future-kids will live in. Thanks. For writing that out I know it sounds silly, but your comment actually made me think about it
Want to remind Joe Rogan that ''Gobekli Tepe'' is in Kurdistan and not
Turkey. because kurdistan is not a country. its Sanilurfa which has large
kurdish population, but because kurdistan is accupied, it must say in
turkey. Now the person who found ''Gobekli Tepe'' was a kurdish shepard.
Also there are many more ancient buildings in Kurdistan which pre-dates the
summerians. .
+PirateKurd It's in a country called Turkey with defined accepted borders. The day the US gives the nation up to the Indians is the day you'll take a land from the Turks they've held for far longer. For better or worse, we know this is how it is. I don't have a lot of love for the Turkish government, and I hate suppressing Kurdish culture and disapprove of it, but I find it annoying when people want to act like nothing in Turkey belongs to the Turks, when they've been there (Anatolia) for nearly 1000 years in total.
lmao i we went to iraq for oil how come the first fucking thing we did was
give back the oil fields? why does iraq pay .15 cents a gallon while we pay
4 dollars? funny, we dont seem to have the oil conspiracy goobers keep
crying about.
+Anvil Six im not sure if youre trolling either. we went into iraq because they invaded kuwait. then saddam broke the cease fire multiple times and after 16 different UN resolutions to get him to stop we had more than enough reason to finish the job. liberals love ignoring how saddam handed us the right to go in on many, many occasions.you are definitely under 20 years old.
Not sure if youre retarded or trolling.We did go to Iraq for oil. In the sense saddam was going to stop selling oil in USD, thus shitting on the petrodollar.
+Tim Lazenby I was told by someone from the Middle East that I work with that the arabic word for "virgins" and "grapes" sounds the same and is lost in translation within the qur'an so they dont know if its 72 virgins or grapes when they die, but he may just be fuckin with me.
I'm an atheist but the idea that 72 raisins was meant instead of 72 virgins
was a fabrication by an author taking positions on the origin of the Qur'an
and Islam that contradict mainstream history/archaeology.
+ReasonableMan317 Well I've read every word of the Qur'an and that verse is not in there...period. It is something taught from the hadith and the Sunna, the prophets life and the prophets teachings, both of which are forbidden by the Qur'an.
You are correct, however they did not tell them they were all 60 plus year old women who could not have gotten laid if they had diamonds two feet up their snizz.

That industry is absolutely BOOMING right now and there are so many different ones available with similar parts and features. The big names that I've heard are Omicron, Vapor Bros and Gpen.Also a bunch of the parts are interchangeable so he could have had a separate mouthpiece attachment he bought and stuck on that one
