Thread: LHC - Joe Rogans View

I've seen matches that rogan has been annoucing for, where he makes a dead on accurate prediction of what a fighter is trying to do, AND whether he'll pull it off, a full 45 seconds before it happens. Not only is he well versed in the sport of MMA, but he's also very observant... and he isn't a sheep most people are...

All in all... you must have something against rogan... 'cause nothing you said was true... though I guess it's an opinion... but I, and many others, disagree with it strongly.

Ive watched ufc since 2002 so yeah, Ive heard him a lot. For every time is right like you say several more he'll be wrong and I dont blame that on him, because mma can change on a dime, but theres some times I just want to facepalm with assertions he makes during matches.

No I dont have anything against him, calm down. His comedy, on the other hand is good, I enjoy that. yeesh, no reason to get so worked up over someone else's view on a person you barely know. If you think nothing Ive said is true, I dont really care, its not the point of the thread anyway.

I have to admit, Joe Rogan is very deep when he talks about something seriously. He made me want to try DMT! haha (doubt I ever will though)

I enjoyed the article, 1 thing however, just doesn't feel right with me. When he said "It has no beginning and no end, it's infinite." I cannot process that "...no beginning..." part to save my own life. How can there be no beginning? It just doesn't satisfy my answer fetish.


But then again, this is most likely far from the truth. =P


Because God made the World! And everybody should be Christians!


talk about a stupid ending...

-Well, he makes no more mistakes during a match than any other announcer would. And also, the only reason I'm getting worked up about anything is because I've read a few of Joe's blogs, and watched a few vids... and he's clearly one of the most intelligent (if not the most reasonable and wise) celebrities that I know. He follows current events, politics, and media and pop culture religiously... and he can form no less of a good argument than any of you... if anything he can probably write a better article then 90% of the people on this board. He's knows much, understands much, and has the courage to go online and write blogs like this about what he thinks.

It's just wierd that you think any less of his opinion because of both his occupation, and his quality of 'announcemanship'. This is just a guy taking what he knows about he LHC and putting it into a blog with opinions. If anything you should think more of his opinion because of his character and education... not less because he apparently

cant even announce a ufc match without saying something dumb lol.

But like you said, this isn't what the thread about... but I just wanted to give my opinion on your opinion.

edit:

Also...
I think the whole technology overtaking us thing is regarding the exponential fasion in which technology is advancing. Anthropologists, historians, and anyone who has taken highschool level Social Studies will notice a trend. That is the rate at which we're developing new technologies is advancing exponentially. In the last 10 years we've probably learned more than in the 50 years before it. Everything we know to be true has only been known (largely) for the last 50-150 years... which is crazy considering humans have been around for over 150'000 years. It used to be a big deal to find out some crazy new technological advancement every few years... but now everyday in the news scientists from around the world are discovering/inventing new technologies. Within the next few decades we'll be at the point were we're advancing what used to take 50 years, in only a few months. As technology gets better, so do our abilities to aquire new technologies... therefore it's exponential.

Hopefully that helped... basically it's saying that in no time technologically the human race, and possibly all carbon based life forms, could be bypassed rendering us fairly useless and weak. Computers, though bypassing us easily as far as pure calculation, still lack the 'human element'. Which is conciousness, abstract thinking, problem solving etc. If the intense potential of a super-computer were given conciousness... who knows what might happen.
