Joe Rogan BLASTED as Anti-Free Speech and Pro-Cancel Culture

It’s a fascinating theory: Humans are certainly smarter than the ( now-extinct ) homo erectus, yet the homo erectus managed to traverse the entire known world — including islands only accessible by watercrafts. Even though they had smaller brains than ours, they were able to escape Africa and settle in rural areas of southeast Asia and northern Europe.

And it all occurred between 1 and 2 million years ago!

However, modern humans have been around for about 300, 000 decades. But until about 10, 000 years ago, humanity’s accomplishments ( aside from wiping out all that yummy, delicious megafauna ) were embarrassingly limited: No agriculture. No metals. No big places. No reading. No great landmarks. No enduring society.

Modern humans did n’t even arrive in Europe until 45, 000 years ago! For whatever reason, we just ( mostly ) stayed in Africa.

And then, abruptly, tremendous leaps in technology instantly appeared throughout the world, including Egypt, Mesopotamia, China, and Mesoamerica. Within 3, 000 years, each of these four regions, as far as we can tell, freely created elaborate systems of composed languages.

Before that? Everything, zero, zilch.

Over the last 10, 000 times, we’ve gone from footsteps on the American plains to traces on the moon. Yet within our own lifetimes, we’re first witnesses to the rapid speed of individual progress: We’re continually — and mercilessly — focused on innovation, refinement, and technical improvement.

Which beckons the really obvious question: What the devil were present people doing for the previous 290, 000 ages? What triggered this extraordinary shift over just the last 10, 000 times?

English writer Graham Hancock has a theory: Maybe a “lost” culture shared advanced technologies with old communities. Maybe a cataclysmic event — such as a largescale storm — forced them to travel the world, sharing their hi-tech understanding of agribusiness, language, metallurgy, and architecture with others. Maybe this is the “missing link” that explains how contemporary society evolved.

Hancock’s ideas have become quite common. He’s been a repeat visitor on Joe Rogan’s audio, and his Netflix line,” Ancient Apocalypse“, has been renewed for several months.

On” The Joe Rogan Experience,” Graham Hancock and archaeologist Flint Dibble debated for seven times.

Graham Hancock was destroyed. Obliterated. Humiliated. Discredited. &nbsp,

When faced with an actual scientist, his theories were centrally exposed as false, ill reasoned, and scientifically impossible. Dibble raised a number of complaints, among them:

• We have plenty of proof of human genus and another outdated “humans”, yet no proof of this more-recent advanced culture: No monuments, no tools, no anything. Why would one be thus convincingly supported but the other never so?
• With ice examples, we can find when metalworking began. If there was an advanced ancient civilization, they apparently did n’t use any nails or metal. In the fifth and sixth century BC, metals was present, but it did n’t really start to develop until 3, 500 BC. &nbsp,
• Wild seeds evolve differently than domesticated seeds: Wild seeds rely on wind, consumption, or getting stuck to animal fur to disperse and grow, domesticated seeds tend to be larger, tastier, and less prone to” shatter”. Going by the fossil record, if there was an advanced ancient civilization, they did n’t rely on agriculture either.

And so on and so forth.

Hancock cried terrible. He claimed that Dibble fabricated and fabricated information.

You really nailed Flint Dibble on so many things that he was unscrupulous about, according to his friend Joe Rogan, who went on and said,” Dibble came on and I thought it was going to be an engaging conversation but it turned out he played fast and loose with the truth.”

Lastly, Flint Dibble had plenty. Yesterday, he published a “public letter” ( in video form ) to Joe Rogan:

It’s a burning, harsh critique of Joe Rogan’s choosy bias. Rogan visits the shedding with Digg in confidence:

Dear Joe Rogan, you gave me the opportunity to appear on your audio in a conversation I had with your friend Graham Hancock, who you have supported for years. Although you are excellent at humor, you are not very good at judging knowledge, so that’s cool. I wish you’d realize, though, that your strategy to palaeontology is no open-minded. You listen to one area, and only one part. Your blind devotion to Graham dates again a long time, which biases your opinion. …Joe, you may assume you’re all revolutionary, but the reality is that YOU are popular media today. You are the one who determines who gets platformed and who gets canceled, and you are aware of this. Joe, for someone who claims to defend free speech and oppose withdraw lifestyle, you’re evidently just trying to withdraw me with this false, ad-hominem&nbsp, attack. ]emphasis added]

I’m a Joe Rogan lover, but I’m certainly on Team Dibble around. Graham Hancock’s ideas are definitely fun to observe. And at least on the margins, he’s probably right: Humanity’s ancient–ancient story is generally unknown, so it would be surprising if there were n’t wild challenges still to discover. Although it’s possible that other civilizations contributed to the development of our past, our understanding of them has vanished after tens of thousands of years, perhaps forever. &nbsp,

And there’s no harm in continuing to search for them. or making up their minds.

But that does n’t give rise to a fantastical, multicontinental ancient culture that seeded the planet with all the tools for modern civilization!

Joe Rogan’s strengths are considerable. He’s inquisitive, likeable, loyal, and eager to learn. Hey, he’s the world’s most influential podcaster for a reason! Joe Rogan has been welcomed with open arms by the conservative movement since 2024.

But his weaknesses are considerable, too.

The Rogan-Dibble feud is a cautionary tale for conservatives: It’s important for a big tent, majority party to welcome the Rogan Bros into our camp, but let the buyer beware. Do n’t accept anything on face value.

In the words of Ronald Reagan,” Trust, but verify”.
