Perhaps we see different motives for the post. After further reflection though, I definitely see the problems with the post. I should also say I think the ideology of the chart is dumb, obviously. Perhaps I didn’t consider the extent of how easily others may believe the chart. I look at it and think no more than ‘lol that’s dumb.’ I have a hard time accepting many might look at it and think ‘Yeah! Truth.’ ew that’s a hard pill to swallow

@Carl-Richard Also, yes I know he knows what shit posting is; I have heard him talk about it many times actually. From multiple angles from ‘ghost and post,’ to just acknowledging trollers, to Russian trolls, etc. Can not speak for him, he isn’t my daddy or anything, but I think he has an idea of it.

@Carl-Richard Aren’t boomer up until 1964? Not to get technical, but it seems although these arguments are rooted in something other than Truth. Much less logic and reason. So far it has been ‘do not under estimate his stupidity’ and some generational generalizations. Im not being unfair. I’d love so much to see what’s wrong with this post of his - other than the fact it can be misinterpreted. That I see, but I’m not seeing this ‘dumb ape boomer man deliberately brainwash.’ But I’m open to it. Edit: ‘dumb ape boomer man deliberately brainwash.’ - also, not saying anyone here said anything like this; just the vibe I am getting.

@hoodrow trillson How do you know he did not post it ironically? What’s funny? I agree though, do not like his comedy at all. However, that may even make it more evident that this is a bad joke; not deliberate endorsement.

@Danioover9000 I agree with you. To me, this is an obvious shit post. Now if people want to talk about the consequences of shit posting, I’m all ears. But for anyone taking this as Rogan’s true opinions - I think you’re missing something. Or maybe I am, so enlighten me. But enough of these weak arguments.

@Opo Your argument is weak and hostile.

I guess I should be clear. If the outrage from this post of Rogans is in regard to the fact that many people may take it seriously and right wingers may take a liking to Rogan etc. etc. I see the problem. I can easily see how that would happen and how he could brainwash people. so honestly yeah there is a problem here. nonetheless I do not think that Rogan himself believes such nonsense in that chart.

@Danioover9000 Pretty sure it is just a joke. You’d have to be extremely dumb to genuinely think that chart is accurate. I don’t think Rogan is Jesus or anything - but really guys? Have you guys listened to him speak at all? He isn’t a pile of bricks. He is way more liberal than conservative. It’s honestly hilarious seeing all of your reactions to this. Duh, that’s the point. Rogan is constantly talking about how you need long format discussions, how he isn’t an intellectual - among other things that clearly display this as a joke. I genuinely don’t know how you guys are perceiving this this way.

When I see this, from a comedian, I think ‘joke.’ He caters to the right, likes guns, isn’t the brightest, sure - but I think I am missing something. Do you guys think this was a joke or serious post of his? Or do you guys think it doesn’t matter, if it’s a joke or not, it’s still doing damage to dumb dumbs who believe it? Because I think I’m missing the criticism for Rohan there seems to be on the forum.

I don’t know, yet

If this video contains a true story, I may need to readjust my perspective. Might have less green than I thought.

Almost positive he is a ENFP from Myers Briggs. For Spiral Dynamics he is for sure a very healthy orange, at least. It’s hard to tell how much green he has in him and how much of it is just marketing but he seems genuine. He probably has a good bit of green and potentially yellow. Idk exactly. I went through a ‘Gary V’ phase though. He’s a great and kind person. He gives great pragmatic advice and seems to balance it well with empathy and compassion.

I’m tired of being afraid of you guys ? I don’t mind Leo’s ‘backtracking’ at all. Some could be very spiritual, while not very pragmatic - or vice versa. It very much helps to get profound insights about reality while still improving this dream.

@Max8 The feelings you hold about the ‘hollowness’ of self help are relatively justified. But you corrupt any legitimate critiques by your entitlement. Stop taking things for granted. ‘No tangible results.’ Lmao. I forgot to mention self help also completely changed the way I interact with money. Is that tangible enough for you? Because clearly relationships and eating habits weren’t real enough for you. What do you, exactly, define as tangible? Because you went from having some decent points to just being the dude who wants more more more.

Yeah, not everyone can make it. Does not mean it doesn’t work. Also doesn’t mean there are not people out there just trying to make money. Self-Help changed my life. Changed the way I think, eat, interact, approach things. I’m not perfect, at all, my I am sure way better off after finding the field of self help.

I can’t pick one thing besides everything. It wouldn’t be fair. Certainly as a human I have biases, but I know, ultimately, it’s everything I love.

Why’d you put the “ “ around “hating” in the title? You know you love yourself. It was never really “hating.” What was it? Same thing with the word “attack.” Why write it like that, if not to imply it is not really the word you chose? What is the “hate” and “attacking” but Love? You love yourself, always have, and you’d like to be better; improve. How do you improve without “attacking” or “hating?” Improvement requires change. Change requires you to get rid of something - the process doesn’t feel good. But the prize, the prize.

I started using the app ‘You need a Budget,’ or YNAB, January 1st of this year and it has helped me immensely. I was horrible with money and needed to step up and help out my mom. I wasn’t paying for anything and every dollar that came in went out. YNAB has a philosophy that doesn’t allow you to budget money you don’t have. This, along with a clean Apple Style layout and other simple tools, helped me started paying for literally everything. Like I said I use to spend every dollar. Now I save money, I paid off my car, I pay for my health insurance my car insurance, all my food, clothes, gas, car repairs, a gym membership, etc etc. I didn’t know there was so much to pay for!!! But now I pay for 99% and all just within a few months. It was a big 180 for me; I love YNAB. PS: I think no matter what program or method you use - you’ll still always need a pen and paper to crunch out the details. That’s just me though.

I absolutely love the amount of information there is now. Of course, as Leo mentioned, there’s also quite a bit of disinformation - but, personally, this doesn’t really bother me. There is so much non-controversial information out there, for instance, on exercise, diet, cognitive training, animals, nature, cool technology, etc. It outweighs the disinformation in my eyes. Its just so damned useful.

Therapy didn’t work for me the way I imagined. It was nice to rant to someone but really I was just offered some basics on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and antidepressants and anti anxiety medications. I declined to the meds. I didn’t and don’t think I need them. To me, ‘happy pills’ wouldn’t help what I could clearly see was just an emotion reaction to my circumstances. I decided, ultimately, I need to get better at taking responsibility and helping myself. Its been a slow 2-4 years since I made that decision and quite therapy but I am glad I did. If you just have circumstances that are depressing or anxiety inducing but you're otherwise normal and aware that ‘if things were better’ ‘you’d be better’ - just work on getting things better. Maybe consider a few sessions and blow off some steam but be cautious about falling into a perpetual therapy trap or taking medications that - IMO - most people don’t need. Most people are better off meditating, eating better, exercising, using Cognitive behavioral therapy, using self talk, etc. than they are just taking pills or exporting their thoughts to someone else (and money for that matter). That being said IT IS VERY IMPORTANT that if the words I typed above do not resonate with you and you have a serious mental health problems, are suicidal, etc. You should certainly consider therapy and possibly medication. I know these things are not the worst - I am just weary of them. I didn’t like how abnormal they made me feel by offering me meds and such when I knew I didn’t have anything clinical. My parents where getting divorced, I wasn’t good at school, I was bullied, I was a bully, life’s just generally stressful as it is and I didn’t feel like that was the route for me. Sometimes there’s shitty things happening and depression and anxiety are normal reactions. So all in all, I hope you find what works for you. As you may be able to tell, I’m more in favor of holistic methods rather conventional therapy or medication. Nonetheless there’s a reason we have these things and there is no shame if you need them. Whatever makes you better makes us better.

Was it worth it? Yes? Sweet. No? Well feel enough guilt to reevaluate your spending habits but not enough that you slow yourself down over the past. What is bought is bought. What has not been bought has not yet been bought. Im glad that your decisions still leave you in a place of security and that despite some second guesses on these recent purchases you sound reasonably comfortable and safe, financially.
