Pseudo intellectualism of the highest degree. He is funny though.

Swearing has nothing to do with education levels or opinions. Some people use it as emphasis, other people it's just as much a part of their dialect as anything else. Don't be such a politically correct bitch.

The question is, what is swearing? Words are spoken by using the tongue for dynamic tone as well as the vocal folds and articulators. The lungs supply airflow, thus vibrating the vocal folds making audible beats depending on the frequency. Classy? I am a Human living on a so called planet that revolves around the sun or does it? What if dreams, or whatever a dream really is, is actually reality and that reality is being played by that dream. What if the present, future and past are all present at the same time? What is thug? What is cloths? What is space? What is life? 200 years ago, just a nick in time, yet more than two life periods? Wow life is short.

And/or in the right mood. I clicked play and I'm most definitely not in a philosophical kind of place. I shouldn't have clicked play.

I thout it was great when he completely clowned Carlos Mencia but his man crush on Anderson Silva is annoying and I think he is terrible wi his commentary during UFC fights. I have to watch them on mute.

this. if you let a couple of swear words bother you and detract from the incredibly profound statement he made, you are a silly cunt.

Not quite sure what to think, although I would like to hear Morgan Freeman's voice in that

Hadn't seen this in awhile, great watch. This stuff is fascinating, I don;t think we talk about it enough. The Placebo effect really caught my attention this time. Basically mind over matter, truly fascinating stuff. I believe this theory entirely, goes hand and hand with karma (physical and nonphysical) the universe has a weird way of figuring itself out. Don't get me wrong, Joe Rogan is alittle out there, however, he acknowledges that this place is fucking crazy when you take a step back and look at the big picture

He isn't just swearing, he's talking like a 15 year old stoner. "like, what the FUCK?!", "we don't know SHIT!!", etc.
It's very unprofessional.You could argue that it depends on how you've been raised - whether or not it seems intelligent. As far as the business and professional world is concerned, this guy needs to go back to a high school english class and learn how to express his emotions by using intelligent words.

Why is this thread based upon a few swear words? Who gives a fuck? Most of my friends talk like this anyways, doesn't bother me.. just emphasizing his points, think of it as an exclamation point! If he were trying to be profession he would;t be making documentaries the universe and drugs.


He's an intelligent guy.. his perception of life is a little crazy but unique nonetheless. It's very scientific I won't get into it right now. Another good watch

Being intelligent doesn't exempt one from being stupid.

His half baked rants resemble the words of a college freshman who has been assigned a report on Plato for the first time: unjustified connections between cherry-picked and non-contextual scientific "facts" lathered in a thick mollasses of tenuous logic.

And didn't he do a podcast with Neil degrasse Tyson? Thought I saw something like that on YouTube, if it's true it would probably be a complete mind fuck, Neil's the man

He did and it was good. Rogan is kind of all over the place though. It's part of the romance, which makes him fun to bearound or listen to.

You won't be dissapointed.

People need to realize that first and foremost. Joe Rogan is a stand up comedian. And he doesn't pretend to have all the answers. But he has a unique view on life.

I think you need to listen to more than a couple of youtub clips to make a real judgement on a man.

People that hate on his UFC commentary are generally ridiculous. He is probably the most educated on the martial arts of any commentator in the game. TKD Blackbelt, and formerly high level competitor. Black Belt in BJJ under Jean Jacques Machado(SUPER LEGIT), and a BB in the 10th Planet system. Dude knows of what he speaks.
