My boyfriends grandmother loves to watch shows like ancient aliens and stuff. Normally I just ignore them as background noise, but sometimes I'll catch something, shake my head and move on.

One time though she was watching the one with William Shatner, unexplained mysteries I think it's called. And the person Shatner was talking too said "and there is no way we could build the pyramids today" and Shatner just said nodded and then said "why?" The guy mean mugged the shot outta him and they cut to a commercial. When it came back they were talking about something else. Really made me laugh.

But like fr though, bass pro shop built a pyramid, we build crazy skyscrapers and have hundreds of building styles all over the world, I'm sure we could build a pyramid today if we had too.

Ancient aliens are also like „they definitely used the pyramids as electricity generators/substations“ or some bullshit like that.

I mean they contradict themselves every week and the stuff never really have any evidence either way.

One week it's like "since octopuses live in the ocean and they are Strang compared to us does that mean ancient aliens are living in the bottom of the ocean in the city of Atlantis? Our theorists say yes!" And then the next time they are like "Is Atlantis actually under this Mesopotamia city? Our theorists say absolutely 100% of course of course no doubt no doubt."

Meanwhile on YouTube some dude in nowhere America has a set of videos showing how he can lift, rotate, leverage and pivot massive stone blocks and an entire house using stone-age technology... ropes and wooden levers... by himself!

Rogan appeals to people who want to hear that the world revolves around them. They believe and want to confirm that if they haven't figured it out no one else has. They are literal morons, but too stupid to know it. They are extremely satisfied when Rogan panders to their narcissism.

The hilarious thing is when they do actually throw some critical thinking together it doesn't matter anyway. Like the flat earthers who ran an experiment that proved the earth was round, and then immediately decided that they must have done something wrong and needed to come up with a new experiment.

This is so accurate and it just never really occurred to me so succinctly.
