Should have been called "Joe Rogan Confirms His Biases"


I'm a fan of Joe Rogan and I enjoy listening to him talk on the JRE podcast about MMA, alternative history, psychedelics, etc, so I when I (recently) found out his TV show 'Joe Rogan Questions Everything' was on Youtube, I was looking forward to watching a few episodes. Unfortunately, however, after watching the Psychic Spies episode, I couldn't believe how badly everything was done. For starters, why waste any time in a hour-long episode talking to weirdos who claim to be able to make people lose their balance by reversing polarity of psychic energy or whatever? Straight up stupid. Second, maybe actually do some homework on the subject of remote viewing. Because the decision to talk to Ed Dames, especially over guys like Joseph McMoneagle, is absurd. Honestly, they couldn't have picked a weirder remote viewer. Or one with a more dismal track record. Third, had anyone actually done any homework on the subject, they'd know that remote viewers were selected based on their pre-existing psi abilities. Hence, the idea that a remote viewer could teach Rogan in one day how to remote view, is ludicrous. (That said, RV can be taught to a certain degree, but not in one day and much depends on pre-existing abilities.) Not to mention the absurdity of presuming Rogan remote viewing was any kind of litmus test for determining whether or not psi exists. I don't know, maybe have the remote viewer actually remote view something?!? HELLO?!? And I love how the (pseudo)skeptic drew as much stuff as he could fit on the piece of paper. Throw enough sh!t on a wall and something might stick, LOL. Not to mention, did the magician explain his tricks? Nope. Did anyone bother to ask why not? Or did anyone bother to ask what his tricks actually proved/disproved? And finally, Rogan is a big proponent of alternative history, believing that there was once a technologically-advanced civilization in the remote past lost to history. Well guess what, Joe? That civilization, as described in myths around the world, believed in all sorts of paranormal phenomenal, including psi, souls, and the afterlife. Which means Joe's own belief system isn't internally consistent. Joe just believes whatever he wants to believe on certain subjects. Too bad Joe isn't as open-minded about the paranormal as he is about alternative history. Come on, Joe, I know you can do better than that...

If you didn't realize (you probably do now), it was a debunking program. It was a means by TPTB to indicate that it was researched, documented, and the conclusion was inconclusive. Beit chemtrails, bigfoot, RV, as long as they covered the subject, it answers the questions: "Why wasn't there a legitimate show about this? Or Why didn't anyone inform us?" TPTB can't point their ugly finger at JRQE.

Joe is a flip-flopper and a shill. Listen to his fake laugh after he asks his guest a question about someone being a "plant": https://youtu.be/tk0v32EMLlw?t=1m48s <<< He's fake laughing because he knows it's true, and he's thinking, You're right! I on TV 'squatchin' and talking *beep* about chemtrails!
