Neil DeGrasse Tyson's StarTalk featuring Joe Rogan

[Unicorn]

[Video removed] - no point giving it more views or detracting from the conversation of Neil platforming others that further the alt-right agenda.

I haven't clicked this, and don't really plan on it, but immediately felt a gut reaction to the pairing of Neil and Joe given the recent headlines for both.

Neil being caught in the net of #metoo and Joe being a seeming gateway for young folks heading toward alt-right rhetoric. Let's talk Cosmos! I just have a bad taste in my mouth thinking about how this 10-minute "talk" can exist.

Maybe just don't include the video in your OP at all

Neil has done his podcast multiple times, too. They talk about space and physics and shit. That's it.

What an odd premise for a thread..."here is a video that I will not watch."

Yes? News is news whether I want to engage in it or not.

cue any number of twitch streamer/influencer threads?

 

[VectorPrime]

Does he downplay the seriousness of mass shootings in this too?

I mean "disgraced sex pest and notorious racist come together to smoke weed and do bad philosophy" may or may not be news depending on how much you regard these folks as public figures

This isn't news and Era doesn't give Rogan a platform for a reason

 

[Raccoon]

Rogan is a banned source on Era btw

 

[Yerffej]

News, huh.

This. I'm a fan of both Rogan and Tyson, and the episodes they share together are some of JRE's best.

Yes, but Neil has been a distinguished public figure for a long while and has since tarnished that image and doubled down (and beyond). A fall from grace for him. Rogan, not so much.

News? we don't give joe a platform he's a shit head/racist.....and nothing about this is news. They're just talking about the multiverse. And they've been in multiple podcast together.

you misunderstand. posting rogan's stuff is not allowed. this thread will be locked. if you want to discuss tyson's trajectory as a public figure, edit the video out of your op.

This is from Neil's channel though.

 

[ElectricBlanketFire]

Got any links to Ben Shapiro videos you wouldn't watch OP?

 

[Unicorn]

video removed - thought i may as well have a source on a thread talking about it, but y'all state otherwise.

 

[Trey]

So what did they talk about that was of particular note? Or is the whole premise that NDT had Rogan on the show at all? I'm confused about the objective here.

We don't provide a platform for Joe Rogan or content involving him here.
