    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.

    “if €Gender would …” - time to say: “No.”

    Sometimes I want an AI just to block every and all mentions of that American ‘podcaster’.

    Great comeback.

    Pride of Ignorance. Its something we should bully out of people. Nobody should be so proud to be so dumb. Its fine to be dumb, but nobody should revel in it.

    There is nothing admirable about letting a fascist rant about hate and nonsense, while the ape of a host goes “never thought of it that way, interesting” while legitimizing the nonsense

    This is a bit embarrassing maybe, but I have actually enjoyed listening to a couple of episodes of the Joe Rogan podcast. In the few episodes I have listened to he has been able to get some good conversations going.

    One could easily and rightfully criticize him platforming a lot of his guests, but this is where it gets a bit tricky.

    He gives a voice to people that has interesting things to say, that in some way contribute in society or contributes to a discussion, and people that are completely psychotic. The latter should not be platformed, both for their own good and society. Alex Jones was an example of that. Joe Rogan should have stopped that episode in its tracks, or not have aired it.

    I stopped listening more as a sort of boycott, not because I could not find any sort of value in his episodes sometimes.

    Edit: The reply is probably correct. Joe Rogan does tend to not be skeptical and does platform a lot of evil people as well. The people in his podcast rarely meets any real opposition from Joe.

      He more often gives platforms to people who say nothing, and a whole lot of it that. He also tends to platform insane and downright evil people and lets them say whatever bullshit they want with zero questions, zero feedback, zero incredulity, thus making them look legitimate in the eyes of his followers.

      He is a very dangerous man.

        I stopped listening because a few of the doctors or scientists he has had on before. Rogan hadn’t read their book, didn’t know anything about them nor could be keep any sort of useful conversation going and I found other podcasts of actual smart people who can converse and have discourse with intellectuals and I can learn something. Jordan Harbinger is the best example of this.

    I wish people would stop giving the Joe Rogans and Rush Limbaughs of the world more attention than they deserve. Debating whether they’re right or wrong about anything just gives them more legitimacy than they deserve. They’re a sideshow. They’re hucksters waving their hands and making noise to make a buck.

      Yup.

      They’ve learned that doing outrageous things and pissing people off makes the line go up and so they’re going to keep doing that regardless of the consequences to discourse in society because it puts money in their pocket

          Ok so like this shouldn’t be too hard to explain. I assume this is your first time on this planet? Well it doesn’t matter. Sometimes someone will say or imply two separate things in the same sentence. An example might be something like ‘have you seen my new green pencil?’. Now these things might not always have a relation – new and green do not necessarily imply one another. But they have a semantic link nonetheless. Doctor does not necessarily imply intellectual, but may be considered relevant. Idk man stop getting upset

    doctors can have really shit opinions too

    the real message is: every opinion must be scrutinized heavily, if it stands scrutiny maybe there’s something there

      In my experience doctors can have some of the absolute worst opinions. Especially highly educated speciality doctors who have spent 1/3 of their life doing nothing but studying their very specific field. Lawyers too.

      I work in IT and they can be some of the worst users to work with.

        Honestly this is true of many smart people in specialized professions

        Infamously software developers are fucking knuckle dragging morons about anything that has nothing to do with what they’re good at, but they think they’re god kings and think the world works like a computer

        The only hallmark of intelligence I subscribe to is when someone just acknowledges they don’t know everything and listen. Everyone else is doom spiraling into thought terminating patterns while thinking they’re right

          I like to make the distinction between competence and intelligence. There are some overlaps, but they are mostly distinct.

        Specialists are experts in their field. Much like many of the IT people they fall into the trap of “Im smart because my job requires it so therefore every opinion I have is intelligent” and that simply isn’t how it really works.

      It depends on what they’re talking about. I’ll listen to and generally heed a doctors medical opinion, for example. Their political opinion? Eh…

      Joe Rogan, who has doesn’t have expertise in anything comparable to a doctors expertise in medicine, no way I’m talking anything he says at face value.

        I wouldn’t trust a doctor’s opinion on medicine unless their PhD were in medicine. Most aren’t.

        I don’t consider MDs to be doctors.

          You should look up what a PhD in Medicine is and how it’s not the same as an MD (Doctor of Medicine). Your user name couldn’t be further from the truth.

            I already know a PhD in medicine is different to an MD, that’s why I wrote a comment that says one’s a doctor and one isn’t. Read my comment until you understand it.

              You said an MD is not a doctor. They are. They are literally a MEDICAL DOCTOR. A PhD in medicine is really only gained as a dual doctoral degree and will then be MD-PhD. It combines the Medical knowledge of an MD with the more research driven knowledge of a PhD.

              In the Medical world an MD, is often called a physician. However Lemmy is not the medical world and for all intents and purposes a MD is a Doctor.

              You saying MD is not a Doctor is just making you look stupid.

                If a physician is qualified to teach at the highest academic level due to their research skills, I’ll call them a doctor. Otherwise, they’re just a physician. Putting in IVs and prescribing cold medicine doesn’t make you a doctor. Research skills make you a doctor.

                  You’re trying to be pedantic and it’s just making you look stupid. You also have no idea about modern medicine if you think physicians put in IVs. A central line, sure. But you don’t even know what this is without looking it up, I bet.

              Both are doctors… There are also theology doctors, juridical doctors, and so on.

              There is a difference between 1st and 3rd cycle doctorate though!

            That’s right. Physicians asked to have Doctor put in their names because they were tired of not being respected as much as real doctors, which is to say teachers.
