  1. So you are saying he is just a harmless lunatic? That, unfortunately, is not true.

  2. You are correct about the latter, but the first statement is, unfortunately, not true. These people are dangerous. Not one by one but in totality they are causing a lot of harm.

  3. This genre has a long history on daytime tv.

  4. We have learned to produce (or rather, gather) energy without them. There is nothing scary about a solar panel. It's flat, sit on your roof all day and will never try to bite you. It doesn't even bark. ;-)

  5. We never asked people to have "faith". We asked people to pay attention in school, in science, history and civics class. The proper function of a polity is not a matter of having religion. It's a matter of the majority acting RATIONALLY. Once that requirement is not satisfied, all hell breaks out.

  6. No, this is worse. This is going towards schizophrenia.

  7. What is off in a video that mentions "god"? The word "god" is already 100% off. As soon as you see that you can tell that you are dealing with a scam. ;-)

  8. John Nash was a highly accomplished mathematician. Schizophrenia doesn't make all people who are suffering from it completely helpless. Some are functioning on a high level. Terrence Howard is clearly a high functioning actor... who simply can't keep imagination and reality apart.

  9. We are at the point where we are getting confirmation that roughly half of our fellow human beings are mentally insane. This needs to be taken into account in the future or the democracy experiment will take a very dark turn.

  10. There is a good reason to take his internet access away. ;-)

  11. Sorry that it runs in your family. :-)

  12.  @charliep.9107  Either way I suggest you keep your distance.

  13. Rogan makes his money with this kind of shit. And a lot of money it is. You can't expect him to give up on the money. He is a grifter. ;-)

  14. You know what Jesus said? You are the first. All we other people know is what anonymous guys wrote about him who never actually met the man. ;-)

  15.  @BooksRebound  So you are the anti-religious guy who knows what Jesus said? Cool. I think I must be on the internet. ;-)

  16.  @BooksRebound  I am aware that that is not what they mean. They truly mean that what the books say is literally what was said 2000 years ago. The books are written by the holy spirit, after all. You didn't know that? Then you never had Catholic religious education. :-)

  17.  @ProfessorDaveExplains  I think he made a joke. ;-)

  18. Sane people are playing funny pranks and they are making good jokes. This stuff isn't even funny. Jerry Lewis as the nutty professor, that was funny. The "science talk" in "The Big Bang Theory" is funny. The science-ish banter between Spock and Bones on Star Trek, that was funny. This is simply a man with a serious mental health problem putting himself on display on the internet. That is not funny.

  19. Howard doesn't come from a good background. He did experience social stressors in his youth that may have made him mentally ill, though, or made an existing psychiatric condition worse. He claims that he had an abusive father who was beating him and who stabbed a man in front of him when he was two years old. Whether that is a genuine memory or not can be debated, but in either case we are not talking about a man with a happy childhood here. It clearly left marks on a man who was most likely born as a schizophrenic.

  20. It's not people who believe that. It's the lizard people. ;-)

  21. Why would a real scientist spend time with a mentally ill person? Scientists are not psychologists. They are neither trained nor licensed to deal with these kinds of people.

  22. I don't know how old you are, but I can assure you that "dumb people" have been around way before the internet. They were just not as vocal as they are today, but if you actually talked to "the man on the street" about science in the 1970s for instance, you would have amazingly ridiculous "conversations". Plenty of people believed in things like satellites causing bad weather. I must have heard that at least half a dozen times in a few years back then. After that I mostly gave up on talking to people who didn't have higher education. It was completely pointless. The basics were just not there. One couldn't even get started with a rational explanation because the disconnect between the person's impression of reality and reality was in the way.

  23.  @lukew6725  People's personal responsibility was to pay attention in school. Not many took it seriously enough.
