The host keeps talking about how Calm and Humble Joe is- But he isn't.
Im listening and hes aggressive and Constantly interrupting. He hardly will Let Phil Answer his questions.
The host has no knowledge of strawman arguments does he?
ETA: Ok i just finished listening to the whole clip and over all im not happy with the Show hosts lack of conrtrol- nor with Joe Rogans aggressive and dishonest tactics. He keeps saying over and over that he doesnt KNOW either way if we went to the moon- but it "smells" funny to him. Yet his arguments are TOTALLY on the side of HB as well as he tells Phil Several times that Phil didnt convince him ( as if he is ALREADY convinced that its a hoax)
None of his arguments are based on PROOF but rather to CAST DOUBT.
He liked to lead arguments up several trees at one time. Never allowing ANY of them at any point to be answered.
He brought up several points that either dont really Tie in- or have no proof either way- it just CAN if interpretted as such- CAST DOUBT. e.g. why did Van Braun go to Antarctica to collect Rocks? its WEIRD he says. It doesnt seem weird to me AT ALL> NASA needed to try to figure out WHAT conditions the astronauts would be facing up there.
Joe acted so "Full of sincerety" but im not buying it. At all.
He said things like "well i dont know" about a LOT of his "anamolies" that he COULD KNOW about if he did a little research. A sincere person would RESEARCH before trying to argue the case that he argued. He admits he doesnt research it. and that he doesnt know. He is well aware of Bad Astronomy dot com and at ANY time could browse the site and get the answers to his questions- but he doesnt seem to have answers to them...
I think hes having fun.
