Current Affairs Culture wars & The rise of grifting

Anyone know anything about Andrew Huberman? I don't know what it was I watched but all of a sudden my YouTube feed is getting absolutely bombarded with videos by him

I’d never heard of him, but a few google searches seem to suggest he’s a relatively legitimate neuroscientist. That said I’ve never watched his content so it’s entirely plausible he’s said some utterly deranged stuff, or stuck up for Jordan “I’m scared of apple cider” Peterson

I feel anyone who takes any opinions from Rogan needs to watch that. Easily one of the most deranged clips I’ve ever seen lol

Started with covid, it's so strange how it just takes a singular topic and after a little dip in that rabbit they soon follow every piece of right wing ideology they come across

Seen someone in the replies describe him as the big bang theory (the crappy sitcom) of philosophy

I have actually found him amusing in the past and some of his stuff on drugs is quite interesting, which actually makes this a bit sad

Same, though a bit trite at times I though he was a compassionate voice with a sincere curiosity, his addiction perspective especially.

The anti-vaxx thing is a odd crossover, as you get far idiots and drippy hippies in the same room and the same forums, not a big surprise to see right wing platformers take advantage of this audience and lure folk in with their guff

They also inhabit the anti Ukraine narrative, I can't even imagine how these groups get on lol
