Except the barbarian Khan actually had accomplishments. Rogan just asks stupid questions.

To convince Joe you have to say that the thing is a conspiracy theory(ex mrna vaccines) and get someone that is shunned/dismissed from a community for being a crackpot(ex: an anti vax doctor).

It makes Joe feel like he is part of an exclusive club of people who know the "real" truth.

I don't like living in a world where I genuinely cannot tell if this is a real quote

Yeah, same here. I checked, and he did indeed say this (yt).

Was just thinking the same thing. Why is Roe Jogan so far beyond parody?

This isn't parody btw. He literally said this

Lol I didn't doubt it for a moment. You must be unfamiliar with the depths of Rogan's idiocy.

We should rename the Dunning-Kruger Effect to the Joe Rogan Experience.

When did Joe Rogan start podcasting from the engineering set of Star Trek The Original Series?

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 6 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

I feel like the current iteration of Joe Rogan is from the mirror universe. I remember when he was just a pretty chill stoner comedian who literally told people not to listen to him about science or politics because he doesn't actually know shit. Like, he used to be self-aware.

Remember, proportionally more of your Spotify subscription dollars go directly to him instead of the musical artists you are listening too.

People giving Spotify too much fuckin money

Gop trying to make a god LLM that will tell people whatever they program it tell people. And people will believe it's God.

Like way too many people will absolutely believe it's God.

[–] Doomsider@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

First, it is debated whether he was born to a virgin mother and it is certainly not settled. He was born without sin according to Catholics which is known as the immaculate conception. This is WAY above Jorgan's head.

A computer is virgin? Where in the fuck does this dunce believe this to be true. It is a nonsensical statement.

If Jesus did return he would come back as an AI!? Once again where the fuck does he get this from. Can Jesus come back as a couch and would Vance try and fuck him? Inquiring minds want to know Jorgan.

And then a statement that Jesus could definitely return as AI. I guess this is him trying to convince himself that it could happen. Straight up stupid.

[–] GandalftheBlack@feddit.org 4 points 20 hours ago

The immaculate conception in Catholic doctrine actually refers to Mary being born without original sin. I think the idea is only a sinless woman could give birth to the son of God. But yeah, not like it makes any difference to Joe.

[–] titanicx@lemmy.zip 12 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I can guarantee Joe Rogans computer isn't a virgin.

I listened to him for a few episodes, and eventually said this out loud, then stopped.

As I recall Jesus was not born to a virgin but rather a young mother. The Greek word used in the Septuagint was initially correctly translated but the Greek word used changed it’s meaning over time to mean virgin. The author of Mark did not understand this change and asserted she was a virgin because he incorrectly believed the promised Messiah in Issac was supposed to be born to a virgin.

Bart Erman just covered this recently on his “Misquoting Jesus” podcast.

[–] SkyezOpen@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

The author of Mark did not understand this

Isn't God the author of the whole Bible? Like isn't that the point? If you accept it's written by fallible men, how can you accept anything written at face value?

[–] QuoVadisHomines@sh.itjust.works 2 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

No, the books of the New Testament were written by people. I don't believe anyone mainstream maintains anything different. There could be a cult with dozens of followers who suggest this but no significant group holds the NT as being written by God directly.

Almost all Christian denominations do not hold a literal belief in the Bible as no Jewish sect maintains a literal view of their text eg everyone gets that Job is an allegory.

A literal take on the Bible is very much a recent creation of backwater folks in America. It isn’t common despite what the internet maintains. Roman Catholics still make up the vast majority of believers and they don’t hold this view.

[–] SkyezOpen@lemmy.world 1 points 13 hours ago

I don't mean biblical literalism, but rather the belief that the Bible is divinely inspired and "true" in whichever context they deem important (pretty sure Catholics say it's true in matters of spirit or something like that).

[–] FrChazzz@lemmus.org 8 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Erman is a terrible scholar, for one. The other thing is that, for centuries, the Septuagint was used as the Bible. It wasn’t treated like a translation the way we do. It’s that, for a long time, the Bible was Greek. It had been Hebrew, then it was Greek, then around the 600s or so it was Hebrew again. That later Hebrew Bible is called the Masoretic Text and was the one chosen by Protestants for the Old Testament because, in their thinking, the Hebrew was older than the Greek. But they didn’t really consider the fact that the Masoretic Text is over a thousand years newer than the Septuagint (it being a reconstruction of the Hebrew Bible based on re-translating the Greek with the aid of the Samaritan Pentateuch, etc.). So the Septuagint used the Greek term for “virgin” which is the only reading the gospel writers would have known. The Masoretic Text translates the relevant Isaiah passage with a Hebrew word that means “maiden.” And there’s some argument out there that they did so in opposition to the Christian reading of the passage. There’s a really great book about this entitled When God Spoke Greek.

TL;DR, The “virgin” reading is accurate to the ancient understanding of the Isaiah passage because that was the only one they had at the time. The “maiden” reading is known to us from a Hebrew text that is at least 600 years more recent than the time of Jesus.

So my instinct to doubt Ehrman was correct

Sounds like another "Jesus Mythicism" or "Copied Osiris" myth that's been debunked 300 times

[–] QuoVadisHomines@sh.itjust.works 1 points 15 hours ago

200 years ago “cool” only referred to temperature or people who were unfriendly. The definitions if words can change over time and unless you understand the context they are used within you can misinterpret what the original text meant. What seems to have happened is something like this based partly on the fact that Jewish experts do not actually believe their messiah needs to be born to a virgin.

The person who wrote the Gospel made a mistake. This is one if the many reasons why most Christian denominations do not hold literal views on all aspect of the Bible.

So what I'm getting from this is that Joe tried to stick his dick in his computer, got zapped, and decided that meant it was impossible to fuck.

[–] TheReturnOfPEB@reddthat.com 13 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

I mean how could we be the creator of the return of the son of God ?

The real question moving forward is this: can Joe Rogan become sentient ?

[–] FreddiesLantern@leminal.space 19 points 1 day ago (5 children)

I genuinely wanna hear the reasoning if there’s true believers out there buying into this shit.

I mean granted, they did sell em the ol orange carsalesman pdf as president.

Humanity is fucked isn’t it?

Um. Yes, Joe. It's takes like these your audience loves you for.

I think he is onto something. CEOs seem to have so much faith in AI that's it's pretty much a relgion now.

[–] Alvaro@lemmy.blahaj.zone 9 points 1 day ago

He definitely knows that AI is NOT virgin
