The thing of Joe Rogan shouting at the primatologist about the "new" chimpanzee is genuinely hilarious [VIDEO]

> alternative views I think you mean crackpot views. > carefully curated information which is incomplete Its curated because people attempt to confirm and verify the information. Nonsense like Joe Rogan has no verification - instead it has him Googling the subject for a few hours while doing a lot of drugs. To wit, here is a call of his where he discusses the now-debunked bondo ape: [VIDEO] . During the call, an expert phones in and he ridicules her without even listening to anything she has to say.

Oh I liked the Rogaine + Burr episode where he shouted down a primatologist for being stupid and not checking the internet for wisdom first. He closed by mocking her for having a vagina. He's really an impressively free thinker. [VIDEO] "You're a fucking idiot go online and look it up." "Go online and look it up." "Yeah you've learned from shit from college. When was the last time you got online and researched primates." "Stupid" "Stupid" "Stupid" … "I have a vagina ."

Literally all RFK Jr. has to do is throw endless nonsense against the wall, doesn’t have to be consistent with itself, doesn’t have to come from real sources, and just trip up the PhD on one single issue. Then he can spike the football and claim victory. It’s an impossible setup. [LINK] Refute all 30 of these, NOW, and if you can’t then clearly you don’t know anything and RFK Jr. wins. When you’re done we got 30 more and basically an endless supply. Doesn’t matter if you prove 99 of them wrong. If you can’t prove one wrong during a live debate we claim victory. We don’t care if you show that our arguments are inconsistent with each other, and totally impugn one of our sources. We still expect you to refute endless nonsense from that same source. Because we’re debating in bad faith. You don’t ever get to grill JFK Jr., because he’s not the scientist, you are. It’s not a debate it’s an interrogation. Joe Rogan berated a primatologist for telling him that no, there is not a race of 6’ tall chimps who walk upright and sleep on the ground. These are not serious people. [VIDEO]
