I'm not saying the guy is stupid, but i wouldn't say he's "very intelligent" or anything like that.

I don't know if you saw but even morons like Ja Morant can use chat GPT

being "into" something most people don't understand is a common way for stupid people to pretend to be smart, most people won't know you're full of ****
Bruh... He obviously meant AI research, not using Chat GPT. Using Chat G4P doesn't make you an AI researcher.

Point is his intelligence is largely irrelevant. He has had good quality guests and helps science communication. It's similar to Neil DeGrasse Tyson. Is Neil smart? Sure. Is he a super genius? Nah. But he helps communicate science to the public, and that is valuable.

This lol. So much cope and mental gymnastics because he somehow has a personal vendetta against the guy.

I can think of a few people I've worked with over the years who've had very questionable graduate degrees in physics/engineering, but I don't think I could in good faith call any of them dumb. Not nearly as sharp or knowledgeable as you might expect? Certainly. Not intelligent? No. It's not like you're calling someone a genius by saying that.

I like the dude. Being a podcast host isn't about being super charismatic or entertaining yourself. It's about asking the right questions and given you guests enough space. And picking the right guests, of course.

Ah yes. Another thread where a bunch a genius miscers call someone "not that smart" We get it though. I'm sure it being Jewish and not obsessing over naming the jew has nothing to do with it.

No that’s different because Jews actually are smarter. Or chosen by god. The former is you are atheist, the latter If you are religious

Another comment from the first vid you posted says Joe is a possible crypto Jew... the town he grew up in is literally half Jewish in population with a ton of famous people relative to the population. And he got a lot of lucky breaks in Hollywood as a random Italian manlet from the Boston area

Will check out this second vid

They literally all have hidden agendas behind screen. I remember Owen Benjamin was kicked off twitter, and had been on Rogan 3 times. Rogan washed all the episodes, then never spoke his name again because he started making fun of Rogans height. If any podcaster or comedian had Owen on their podcast, he'd literally send them emails of videos or clips where he said the ***** (n word) and try to get people to not watch him. Told other comedians not to talk about him or to him.

Rogan is a gatekeeper. Why do you think he was given 100m dollars? They saw an opportunity to handle him and his viewership. He has to play ball. Way back in the very beginning Rogan would say and talk about all the conspiracies and talk about everything. Then he flipped on all of those and played ball and toed the line like a good cuck.

Lex is just an autistic nerd with zero personality, zero personal skills, and zero ability or skill to host any type of podcast or interviewing platform. His personality is the opposite of what a high functioning podcast would be. They pushed him so hard to be another gatekeeper and make people follow him as their "intelligent" podcast staple. There's a 0% chance I could sit and listen to this guy more than 10 min. It's painful. "But but but...he's intelligent! OMG intelligent guest and intelligent speak!" You don't have to sound that retarded to be intelligent.

How has he not developed any sort of skill of speaking and inflection/emotion to create a more palpable podcast? There's zero entertainment value and most of the knowledge you get isn't even interesting enough to sit through that painful droning.

I'm literally neither of those things.

My beliefs:
1. Holocaust numbers were completely inflated and excessive lying around the events obviously expose this
2. Neo-Nazis were *******s and so was Hitler. Literally a vegan painter and I don't even believe "Hitler" was anything beyond a figure used as a scapegoat

I couldn't imagine not only lying about your IQ, but using the number 129 to make it seem like it's rational. Absolutely pathetic.

Yeah, so you are a hol0caust denier and hitler apologist. There are zero false things about the holocaust,the most studied and historical thing in the last 500 years. You also think you are brilliant and smarter than some world famous guys with IQ's over 140. All that genius, and you are some regular pleb that works in a factory(which is ok though, I respect that)

Please highlight where I said I'm brilliant and smarter than 140+ IQ types. You're literally making things up now. Because I can't listen to an intelligent guy that speaks like he has Down syndrome and on benzos?

"Zero false things about the Holocaust." Boy oh boy if I had the time and energy I could show you the absurdly long list of lies. Trust me, I spent an entire year learning about the Holocaust by a guy that spoke at Auschwitz on the grounds for some Jew remembrance thing. He had Elie Wiesel come and speak at my school for my class, which funnily enough he even admitted to being a liar about everything. Remember when that news broke years ago?

I'm sorry you are so blinded by that, but let's just say 6 million is a little high...

That's where I know Lex from...interviews with Joe.

IMO one of the biggest issues with Lex is a lack of focus/editing in his shows. Wanna have a 3 hour or longer talk with someone? Maybe trim the fat and break it up into a couple of one hour segments- Part 1 and Part 2.

There's something about his voice and the way he speaks that just makes him unbearably boring to listen to. I have to have his podcasts @ 1.25-1.5x speed just to not fall asleep.
