Support NeoGAF

Really? He shouldn't have apologized? Under what context is it acceptable to refer to a black community as planet of the apes? As a POC, am I a freak for taking offense to these comments? When incidents like this happen over, and over, and over again throughout your life, it takes it's toll. I've been a fan of Joe Rogan's for a long time and I think he's a phenomenal talent, but the comments that he made are so vile and unequivocally seeded in racism that I simply can not bring myself to tune in to him anymore. I never called for him to be cancelled, but I don't understand your admonishment of people who are. And the same old apologies get issued; "oh I'm sorry this was ~10yrs ago. I've since grown from this..." Ten years ago, Joe Rogan was well into his 40s. Ten years ago, it was 2012. Everyone in America is/was well aware that comments like this are racist, full stop. I'm in my 30s and I've been the victim of racism from 8 yrs old. At what point do apologies become hollow? Or should I always take them at face value?

But I do sincerely apologize for being such a snowflake on this matter. I promise to do better.

Rogan should have apologized, and he did. Three times at this point, I believe, including just a moment after he said it in the first place. He knew it was over the line a second after he said it. I think and hope that's what people mean when they say he shouldn't have apologized. I think they mean again. Should Kevin Hart apologize again for his comments about homosexuals, or do you believe him that he's sorry? As to when apologies become hollow, that's up to all of us to decide individually.

But that's the thing about the benefit of doubt, the value of forgiveness, and allowing people to grow. You can deny all of that to other people as much as you'd like, just don't be a hypocrite and expect others to give those things to you, should any of your past actions (even ones that you immediately regretted and apologized for) ever become public knowledge. That's true for famous people as much as it is for a circle of friends. We've all done or said things we wouldn't want people to know about. What you give to others in those situations and what you respect in return is your choice to make.

I like to think for every one person that got some bad medical information from his show, he’s had to have saved at least like…..500 people from getting their dick eaten by a chimp.

Jesus Christ, if only everyone else knew that THIS is the kind of stuff that people love about Rogan.

Dude, why are you posting some cobbled together clip of the conversation? At least try and represent the conversation properly, as it originally appeared.

Here

I found the original clip here where Joe is able to eloquently express himself.

They lie about him, because he respects people with opposing thought, and they generalize and slander people with opposing thought. He's also willing to criticize himself and others who have the same worldview as he does, and the mainstream media refuses to do any of that. They view him as a threat, and that's pretty easy to see if you know his actual values and beliefs.

 

[dcll]

I just saw Randall Carlson was on, this should be amazing!

 

[Jsisto]

I really hope he has someone with a counter view on climate change very soon. I’m certainly not an expert on the matter, and obviously he’s free to have on whoever he chooses, but he’s really not helping himself out here just as things seem to be dying down.

For real dude, if only this rich baller/fighter/hunter/comedian took more advice from you.

The reality is what you see as a mistake is why he is where is is.

Counter views to these official talking points are usually just brainwashed or following the crowd, so they don't want to come on and when they do they look like a fool as Gupta did.

 

[tecmo9000]

Rogan is my guy, I stand by him, i've learned so much and gained a ton of great information on the health front, I will continue to support. Take care,

I feel like this whole thing was a witch hunt on Joe.

I get all that, and I still love and support his show. I’m just saying that a climate change skeptic who was a former official at BP, no matter how he tries to spin it, certainly leaves a lot of room for doubt about what he’s saying.

There are a lot of rich idiots who got rich telling people what they want to hear and being overall dipshits. The fact that Joe’s gotten rich doing what he does shouldn’t make anyone think it’s an indication of the intellectual fortitude of the conversations, it’s entertainment first and foremost. Constructive criticism shouldn’t be answered with “well he’s rich so it sounds like he knows what he’s doing….”

Don't know if already posted, but CNN have jumped the Shark.

Why shrugging off Joe Rogan’s use of the n-word is so dangerous | CNN

Not so long ago, a celebrity caught using a racial slur would see their career destroyed. But Spotify is sticking by Joe Rogan, and country singer Morgan Wallen seems more popular than ever. We’ve crossed a dangerous line in this country.

I still chuckle at the 6th January "Insurrection". I've seen more violence at a 2nd or 3rd Division football match. CNN won't let that go ever. It's an obsession. And an increasingly transparent obsession.

 

[dcll]

If that was an insurrection what would the attack in the federal building in Portland be called?

Another January 6th moment....youve got to be frickin kidding me. These people have no shame and a tenuous grasp on reality. Pure grifters.

New podcast up with Joey CoCo Diaz.

Can't seem to access any of the episodes on Spotify atm. Just me, or any of you also experiencing this?

Just tried, same. Mildly concerning.

 

[Erdrick]

Back up now. Wonder what it was. Perhaps some maintenance or something.

 

[Jsisto]

I could listen to Joey Diaz talk about food for hours.

Google? They always get re-upload to sites like Bitchute and Odyssey.

If you need raw MP3s without downloading them yourself, there are torrent and mega links on 4chan's /t/ board but they're not fully up to date.

I thought this discussion about the future of technology was interesting.



I tend to side with Joe more in this discussion. Coleman is mainly guessing about difficulty and bias, but doesn't have any tangible reasons that connect the dots. It's just a feeling.

Take his common cold vs the moon landing example. Relatively speaking, there is very little funding going into the development of a common cold vaccine. There is now because of the effects of COVID19, but that's besides the point. The moon landing, on the other hand, had massive amounts of funding and government resources thrown at it. With enough money and effort comes results. The Manhattan Project and the Apollo missions are solid examples of this. Project Warp Speed is another more recent example.

 

[Rentahamster]

I missed this one earlier, but this is a good clip that shows that Joe is still open to having his mind change as he is exposed to new and updated information from experts.

I think i actually started a thread in OT with the very same question actually like a year ago. But I was asking more so in terms of not just humans but any living species is there a limit to technological innovation.

Mr. Beast was just on. I wonder how some people will try and shit on him despite his extensive charity work because he went on the most popular interview show in existence?

Yeah.

 

[Maiden Voyage]

Yeah.

I've never watched his stuff but I've heard he has an insane work ethic. That would be an interesting interview.

 

[dcll]

I am listening to the Maajid Nawaz episode, I have never heard of this guy but amazing show so far. This digital currency shit is terrifying

 

[clem84]

Don't know if true but I've seen several people posting this.

 

[Rentahamster]

People post a lot of things.

 

[SpiceRacz]

Don't know if true but I've seen several people posting this.

That would be his most watched episode, by far. People will also flip their shit and start with the alt-right nonsense again.

Exactly why I hope he doesn’t do it, as much as I think it would be an incredibly fascinating interview if he followed his standard 3 hour format.

 

[DragoonKain]

It isn't true, he's not having Trump on lol.

Alex Jones just confirmed it which makes it a lot more believable.

I can't think of many situations where this statement is actually true but kudos to you for finding one.

Well the Sadhguru episode was an interesting listen. If nothing else, he was thought provoking.
