I’m sorry but I have a neuroscience degree and I think this is a fart sniffing post. The broader point is real though

Sometimes we have to swoop in because we don’t want to see an absolute massacre, lol
Fake, there is no way anyone would be that stupid and openly prejudiced . . .
hmm, lol
Sorry, but this is a bit too much of #thathappened for me.
yup. story’s total bullshit.
My best friend’s uncle’s ex girlfriend was there and she said everyone clapped as well.
The husband? Albert Einstein.
I hate to say this, but this is one of the most Reddit flavoured “thathappened” posts I’ve seen on lemmy
One negative thing about Reddit’s slow downfall is that all the same shitty actors will start to come over here and employ their same old boring karma farming tactics. Hopefully the way lemmy is federated keeps things from getting too shitty. Reddit’s corporate overlords are getting more and more controlling. On lemmy, at least for now, you can just hop instances if you start getting cranky.
ThatHappened is a flat circle. Sometimes things are so conveniently contrived looking that they did really happen. Truth is stranger than fiction.
The most believable part is that is what a Rogen fan would say.
maybe it’s less of a flat circle and more of a downward spiral… or maybe things are just getting more and more stupid every day… or maybe it’s a cyclical decline… or maybe THE PRESIDENT IS SELLING CARS AT THE WHITE HOUSE
Come on down to Crazy Donnie’s and get yourself a Tesler!
god help us all that picture of him holding the fucking prices and features & benefits on his notes
someone else said it was like watching Billy Mays and the Shamwow guy on a bit less drugs. i thought that was pretty apt.
Dunno. I presume something close to the second part happened, too. A Neuroscience PhD would not likely marry an imbecile.
People using the word “intellect” in the same sentence as rogan makes the first part quite unbelievable too. Also, in my experience, people also refer to themselves as PhDs or physicians, because saying “doctor” outside of formally addressing one doesn’t reveal anything about what the person actually does other than their ““intellect””.
The husband quote is what I (husband of wife with masters degree), would have thought to say in the car on the way home.
Maybe. But i’ve never actually met or talked to anyone that says shit like that. Do you guys discuss podcasts like this with friends, or even worse, randoms? It’s like taking about some reality show or something, who cares what an idiot has to say about a subject. It boggles my mind.
This kind of wordvomit has to be related to close to 2 decades of 140 character limit “discussions” online. I never understood why anyone would want twitter, and i get a greater feeling of justification in my belief for every day that passes.
Sometimes you’re in a social gathering that’s polite and one guy invited has a bug up his ass. Like, I have a guy in my social group who keeps joking that women are going to get forced to get pregnant. All the men in the group now vocally tell him it’s not funny. He’s not even weird in other ways that are noticeable.
I’ve also met full gown men who still love Rogan and believe the sentiment of the post. They are often kind of close minded and dumb.
Just be really grateful you haven’t had the misfortune to run into these members of society haha
(I agree with your sentiment about twitter. I never saw the draw)
“And then everyone around us stood up and clapped at my husband’s response.”
I believe the first part. I dont believe the quick and clean comeback.
I do. Because it’s not the first time that someone talked down to his doctor wife, and it won’t be the last.
I’m sure the first time he said nothing, but by the fifteenth time, you get good at it.
Yeah, my wife has a higher level of education than me, and I get it.
Fair point honestly, i can see it.
Thanks for apologizing
Idk, the US is currently run by a Nazi admirer who is famous for bankrupting businesses, yet hosted a celebrity reality TV series about running a business, and while being a known adulterer is somehow generally supported by Christians in the country.
That doesn’t even begin to get into the DOGE shit show… Reality right now is a massive #thathappened
Everyone clapped. It was awesome. Completely owned the guy.
It’s unfortunate that this educated woman’s husband felt the need to speak for her when she is fully capable of speaking for herself.
You are a loser
I cringed
I honestly don’t know. It would be completely justified if women flipped out more often.
I like her husband’s response, though.
Wait before you want “hysterical” women again please. Lots of doctors got their jollies off on “hysterical” women…
The “hysterical paroxysm” thing is mostly a myth. The book that brought that idea to the popular imagination was mostly bullshit.
which book?
Have you seen that Courtney Cox show, Shining Vale?
no.
Check it out - give it a second to settle in before judging.
Neuroscientists? They just pump people with drugs to keep them dumb.
Don’t trust them. If you want a brain doctor go to a psychologist.
I had to go see a neurologist to cure my headaches, not a psychiatrist. If it wasn’t for neuroscience, I’d still be having headaches 3-4 times a week.
Uhh, not sure if trolling or sarcasm, so.
Neuroscientists aren’t medics (not all, not even the majority). They can’t pump you full of anything. Furthermore, if a psychologist detects that you need medication, they will refer you to a psychiatrist to prescribe you drugs. They’re not to make you dumb, they’re to prevent you from hurting yourself and others, and improve mood and cognitive function.
They pump your brain full of dyes and blast it with radiation and magnets! All in service of their ideology (empericism)
Knowing how shit actually works instead of blindly following your patriarch, the biggest sin of all.
Psychologist? They just pump your head full of ideas that there’s something wrong with you.
Don’t trust them. If you want a brain doctor go to an astrologist.
/s
get me the clip of Joseph yelling at a primate scientist because she corrected him
Better than using his clip, here’s her describing it in her own words
Try being a woman and talking to a mechanic or anybody working at an auto parts store.
Or try being a woman working at an autoparts store
Owch. Yeah, that’s hard mode.
i was more successful selling cars to women than men and it was because I presumed the person who told me they looked into multiple cars and chose this line actually knew what they wanted in that car.
Thank you
I recently did. I didn’t realize she was a mechanic at first but it was a lovely conversation that touched heavily on being women in male dominated careers.
But yes I fully agree
Legit, I’ve used why wife as a honest detector for mechanics, ended up finding a mechanic for life (he had the chance to quote us to replace half used brakes way too early and instead was honest and just blew the dust off for free, told us it wasn’t necessary)
When you find an honest mechanic, you gotta hold on to him tight. Bring him snacks and remember him on holidays. He is precious and rare.

Joe Rogan, Shapiro, and j Peterson is what you called pseudo-intellectuals
Shapiro and Peterson both have post graduate degrees. Peterson actually taught at a university level. They are intellectuals they are also just wrong about many of their opinions
Edit: I get hating benny shaps but this is easily verified
“…He then attended Harvard Law School, where he studied under liberal law professors Lani Guinier and Randall Kennedy.[10][11] In 2007, Shapiro graduated from Harvard with a Juris Doctor, cum laude.[12]”
Shapiro only has a B.A.
Peterson is fully qualified to talk on psychological markers for alcoholism, and a broad range of clinical psychology, and not much else.
They are both (educated) bullshit merchants, not intellectuals. Intellectuals are honest.Ben Shapiro has a JD. Like I said he’s educated. He’s just wrong about a lot of things
“He then attended Harvard Law School, where he studied under liberal law professors Lani Guinier and Randall Kennedy.[10][11] In 2007, Shapiro graduated from Harvard with a Juris Doctor, cum laude.[12]@
Meh, JD is an entry-level law qualification: “in Canada, it is considered a second-entry bachelor’s degree.” [Wikipedia] In any case, it’s a professional qualification, not an academic one.
That is absolutely incorrect. A JD is a juris doctorate and is considered a postgraduate degree in the United States. There are some places where law degrees are granted at the bachelor’s level, but not the US. You’re making the same mistake as the Rogan crowd here by looking at a surface level, single sentence from Wikipedia (which is referring to the Canadian system btw). The law degree itself is only “entry level” because JD holders have to pass a licensure exam (the "professional qualification) before they are allowed to be practicing attorneys. There are quite a few people who have law degrees, but don’t take the exam because they intend to use their law degrees in other ways.
Ok fair enough. I am not familiar with the American academic legal system. I do not appreciate being likened to the “Rogan crowd”.
The fact about it being a professional qualification rather than an academic one stands, then, I take it?Is English not your first language?
The JD is a doctorate level degree granted by law schools, and American law schools only accept people who already have a bachelor’s level education at a minimum. Like I said in my other comment, the bar exam is the exam people with JD degrees can take to become licensed attorneys. their membership in the Bar Association is their professional qualification.
Exactly. Peterson taught psychology at a university (and even the quality of his lectures have been brought into question, but we’ll ignore that), and that somehow makes him an authority to talk about global warming and how all climate scientists are wrong because you can’t model something like that, it makes him an authority to talk about the nazis and how Hitler was actually guided by the people as he spoke only what they reacted positively to, he’s also an authority on economics when he says how the famine in the Soviet Union was caused by the communists killing all the smart and disciplined farmers, etc etc.
How can anyone seriously listen to a guy who said that women who complain about sexual harassment while wearing makeup are hypocrites is beyond me.
This is nice read on the topic: https://www.currentaffairs.org/news/2018/03/the-intellectual-we-deserve
except peterson because a pseodointellectual, when he decided to treat his benzo addiction, by going to russia and inducing a coma, which caused brain damage.
The problem with this world is that a lot of people enjoy EVERYTHING on a surface level.
I keep getting reminded of my “gamer” years when I played league of legends. When I started, I was clueless and bad. And I found a YouTube channel which made fun educational videos.
Initially I learned a lot but over time, I realized how bad the advice was at times, which changed my consumption of the content. At the end, the content didn’t teach me anything and the suggestions of the creator seemed to be focused on messing with bad players and not actually playing good.
I started to watch better players and learned more from them.
To me, fans of these guys stopped at the first step. They want educational content but they don’t actually want to learn and so don’t actually think about the content and can’t outgrow it.
They grew up being told the answer and these guys specialize in telling people “the answer”. The issue is they are frequently providing the wrong answer.
To me the problem is content vs entertainment.
Joe Rogan has no content. He is not an expert, but somehow he is able to make the podcast, populated by morons, enjoyable by it’s audience. So if a person has to choose between Rogan, with a pseudoscientist in it, or a PhD, which is extremely prepared but does not know how to present his knowledge (either overcomplicated for the general masses, or plain boring), 90% of the people will watch Rogan.
Going to your LoL: the most successful streamers where not the best players, but the pros who manage to keep the chat entertained.
Another example are university professors: the most knowledgeable are usually not the best teachers, because knowing a subject and presenting it are two completely different skill sets.
That’s the sad reality of today online content
Rogan, Peterson (and probably even Shapiro, I dunno) do give good info or advice once in awhile, but it’s not anything that you couldn’t get somewhere else without all of the baggage.
One of the wisest things I’ve ever heard is “White people should be lucky that black people only want equality, revenge would be perfectly understandable at this point.”
The more I learn about black history, as in the history of what white people have been doing to black people since the latter was dragged kicking and screaming to America, the more I appreciate the phrase. It’s honestly some of the most horrific shit I’ve ever had the displeasure of learning.
And just to clarify. I’m not black, I’m a pale transchick from the 90’s who’s whiter than sour cream, I’ve seen Wayne’s World 69,420 times and it keeps getting funnier every time I see it.
I’ve seen Wayne’s World 69,420 times and it keeps getting funnier every time I see it.
That was hilariously random.
Not.
It was clearly for levity, I don’t think they were trying out for the stand up stage.
Yeah well this was also weird because I had been just watching Wayne’s World clips before seeing that reply.
Some people believe that they are taking just that, hence all the terror around Great Replacement theory, or the moral downfall of society because people aren’t partaking of mass in purest Latin.
When you’re used to privilege, equality feels like oppression.
If you really want to be disgusted read A People’s History by Zinn
One of my favorite books! It’s arguably what led to my radicalization.
Unpopular opinion: the massive African slave trade was only made possible because the coastal kingdoms of the continent (Mali, Benin, Dahomey, Mozambique, etc), saw a golden opportunity to gain goods and weapons they otherwise had no access to. The Europeans (and muslims, too, Oman was a big slave trading kingdom) obviously have their well deserved share of the responsibility, defending said kingdoms and for essentially turning the slave trade into an industry and a massacre, but don’t erase or ignore the Africans’ own responsibility in the process, because it was them who ventured into the continent to hunt and capture people to be sold at the ports.
“And it’s because of how they were dressed!”
You want to see a nation that has an even more horrible history? Look up the history of Haiti post slave rebellion. That’s a nation the USA and France owe trillions to.
Alternatively you can look up what Belgium did in the Kongo. That shit is horrible.
And just to clarify. I’m not black, I’m a pale transchick from the 90’s who’s whiter than sour cream, I’ve seen Wayne’s World 69,420 times and it keeps getting funnier every time I see it.
I’m sorry ma’am, you’re under arrest for excessive whiteness.
Still doing it, even the Liberals who think they’re anti-Racist, because huge levels of discrimination on the basis of wealth and very low social mobility are core to preserving the oppression of the descendants of people such as freed slaves and inflicting on them the constante suffering which is a live of poverty in a Capitalist system:
- When released, the slaves were poor compared to the rest and, because of being poor they and their children had to live in worse places, were not part of the landowner class and did not have access to the same opportinities as the rest (all the while the active discrimination on the color of their skin continued, making things worse). Fast forward to the modern days and whilst direct discrimination on the color of their skin is a lot less than a mere 50 years ago, you still have lots of Afro-Americans living in ghettos, oppressed via their poverty and with their children having far fewer opportunities to improve their lot in life than the rest.
This is why the fight against Inequality must include fighting Wealth Inequality and Discrimination on the basis of Wealth: even if other kinds of inequality of treatment were magically eliminated tomorrow, Wealth Discrimination is by far the main mechanism of hurting those victims and their descendants (poor people live much more painful lives, from the quality of their dwellings and even the bed they sleep in, to that of their food and their personal safety, to the point that their Life Expectancy is a at least a decade less than rich people) and Wealth Inequality bakes in the past injustices (by denying the same opportunities to the descendants of those who are past victims of other kinds of discrimination, for example because poor neighbourhoods have worse schools and poored people don’t have the same access to universities when those institutions are private and have high attendance fees and non-meritocratic components to their selection process).
In summary, people pushed down the Wealth scale (or never allowed to move up) by other kinds of Discrimination are inflicted pain and suffering via the mechanisms of Wealth Discrimination and their descendants are denied the same opportunities that others have to improve their lot in life by the very same mechanisms.
In practice American Liberals are a mix of hypocrites and useful idiots because, whilst claiming to be against discrimination, they refuse to address the biggest one, which is the main pathway for inflicting life-long suffering to the victims of other kinds of widespread discrimination and for transmitting that status of victim down the generations long after the original kind of discrimination has lessened or even dissapeared.
All of this. It also must include environmental for all the reasons above as well. Exposure to toxic environmental factors (e.g. chemicals, temperature, pollution etc.) more prevalent on the poor and minorities.

“You are part of a vast conspiracy in which some people are singled out to have nothing, for no reason.”
You’ve picked the very opposite of the motivations involved, hence got an obviously senseless result: feed the logic chain with garbage and you naturally get garbage out such as “conspiracies to make people poor”
Nobody has the objective of having others have nothing, rather their objective is to have as much as possible themselves and for some, maybe many, others having nothing is just “an irrelevant side-effect”.
People who want to have as much as possible will of course join forces with like minded individuals if that furthers said objective. It’s the most natural thing in the world, done totally in the open within Capitalist societies and requiring no “conspiracy”.
Do I have to point to the sign?
This is a meme community.
I think it’s adorable that you think they’d listen to a male scientist who told them they were being idiots.
Maybe surprisingly for you, many women are not able to restrain themselves from killing.
With that said, whenever anyone overgeneralizes, I know immediately they’re either willfully ignorant or just dumb, and any opinion they voice should simply be taken with a mountain of salt.
The violent crime rant leaning overwhelmingly male says otherwise
No, that’s flawed reasoning.
If someone says second hand smoke kills people, it doesn’t make them wrong simply because someone points out that car accidents kill more people.
Both things can be true
