But basically I thought this guy was saying that Maynard Keenan from TOOL was a giant bully and an asshole and I maybe misread his posts and went off on him and said why he was wrong but apparently he was defending MJK and I just read his post wrong.

And then I got a message and pinked. So fuck that noise.

So basically you're unfairly going off at Joe Rogan when you are to blame for your demise on that forum.

[Primate]

Can't be bothered linking? It takes all of three seconds and 4 keystrokes. Yet you came here to make a thread about it?

I'm on team Rogan for this, you sound like a cunt.

Looks like someone is mad

I've been into direct conflict with Joe about some of the plain nonsense he puts out there, particularly the bogus science he claims to understand and the pseudoskeptic he is, at times, and I haven't gotten pinked once.

I even remember a time when I didn't lose my cool but he clearly had when I was pointing out the giant holes in AlphaBrain and everything about it and he came down pretty hard with some really terrible arguments and half-insults and there was even a post in the Tard Bin (where you go if you're pinked) that depicted Joe being a bit of an off-the-chain hot head in that discussion and throwing ad hominem out while I did nothing of the sort. I have a feeling he'd pink or ban be for a much lesser infraction than would ordinarilly be worthy based on my words against the complete bullshit that is AlphaBrain, and Mr. Marcus and how what they're doing is not only utterly unethical but dangerous.

I did get something of a compliment on one of his podcasts, which was... nice?

All-in-all, I think he's a good guy, doesn't have any particular illicit intentions but refuses to acknowledge the biases that he has and that we all have.

Now now girls......put the handbags away.

I'm not too familiar with Rogan, but one thing I'm pretty certain of is for a guy that's watched as many fights ringside as he has his commentary isn't very good.

Ah, the devil is in the details. You think his commentary isn't very good because he is always overstating someone's Muay Thai skills, but you have more knowledge than he does in this area. What Rogan is very good at is his grappling commentary. You also have to look at his comments in proper context. All of these guys are shit, at striking, compared to what you are used to watching. But Anderson Silva looks like Mr. Muay Thai if you compare him to Ryan Bader.

how do you even call him out on alphabrain?? he straight up tells you if you dont like it dont buy it hell theyll even give you your money back if your not even sure if you like it. i bought a bottle and to be honest i did feel calmer but i kept getting weird tingles in my face. no dramas i just didnt buy it again. easy

As a former psychology major who is now studying to be a neurologist who has an interest in neuroscience I can easily and without hesitation say that the brain and nervous system is not something you want to futz with in any way, shape or form unless you know absolutely damn sure what you're doing.

He's advertising this nonsense product on the basis that it improves cognitive function (something on which I asked Mr. Marcus to not be so obtuse on, but he did not delineate). This is either a true or false statement and given the evidence (or lack of in this case) I can rather easily say that the claims made by Mr. Marcus (the "inventor" of the pill) are misleading and ultimately false. I am not alone in my concerns or objections, I just happened to be one of the more vocal in the airing of what to anyone with any relevant scientific training should recognize as pure bullshit.

He didn't like that.

His grappling commentary is very good because he is a BJJ practioner also compared to that clown Goldberg hes the bollocks.

The problem is with the science behind it that he spouts. I'm a big joe rogan fan and love a lot of his podcasts but he does lack a basic understanding on a lot of subjects which leads him to make claims which aren't logical. HE himself seems like a really well meaning guy so I have no problem with that, people like Eddie Bravo I like less.

Alphabrain may be bogus but what about Nootropics in general, is it all bullshit?
Was thinking of buying some but I'm always weary that it might just be a placebo.
