Sadly, I think Joe is beyond the reach of Steven's latest book, despite being someone who would really benefit from it. True believers can't be persuaded.
Ha ha Joe telling him how it is.😂😂
There’s only one Joe Rogan.
Though I risk being pilloried in the comments for saying this, the above interview's embarrassingly low view count (*3K views for a month-old Rogan podcast is almost unheard of!) is a depressing indicator of the general population's disinterest in content that requires any advanced cognition beyond that needed to watch a sporting event or play XBOX. I know erudite, mild-mannered Harvard Professors typically don't draw in audience numbers like steroidal MMA fighters or hare-brained conspiracy theorists, but….. come on, this is fucking pathetic. Surely there must be greater latent demand for guests of intellectual substance like Pinker from Joe Rogan's massive and diverse viewership, and this scarcity of views is more the result of YouTube algorithm functions than a popular revulsion towards critical inquiry and intellectualism.
isn't is steven pinker? 😮
So let's thing about this ridiculous obvious point of Pinkers.
Rogan start with an hour of deep understanding of the irrationality bias…
Then goes on for the next hour and a half*absolutely* proves Pinkers point…
…by being completely Fluxkilin IRRATIONAL!
