This is typical of “experts.” He shot off this snark while completely ignorant about the fact that this interview was conducted last week. In part because of genuine concerns I had with some of RFK’s answers, I followed him and tagged him to help me understand some studies last…

Colin like most in his network display a high tolerance for anti vaccine rhetoric and right wing conspiracism. But critical comments… no, no, no.

Glenn Loury’s response to Radley Balko’s extremely critical coverage of the recent Derek Chauvin reappraisals is a rare instance of genuine intellectual humility. It’s heartening to see and he deserves full credit for it.

Part of the reason Jordan is so bad on this is that he is incredibly myopic & self obsessed. His projection is that if anyone understood his argument they would, like him, be utterly convinced. So the only possibility is people either are lying to themselves or don’t understand.

Remind me how many long form debates with critics of their views (or even just non-sycophantic interviews) Joe Rogan and Lex Fridman have taken part in?

Joe's presentation here implies he corrects misinformation, has not pushed any line on vaccines, and does not present himself as being well informed on the topic. All of that is transparently false. As you can hear from him directly in the episodes he is referencing.

Lex’s booklist is getting a bunch of hate. I think he deserves kudos for posting it and that he is an important relic to a 2001 dorm room that must be preserved.

Jordan Peterson is perhaps the most credulous man on Twitter. And Elon Musk is on Twitter.

Rogan has always been a credulous conspiracy theorist. He makes millions shilling supplements while fear mongering about vaccines. And he has promoted every flavor of pseudoscience under the sun, including HIV-AIDS denialism. Here’s the thing: Spotify Ken Ethan and didn’t care.
