ok, im comparing jbp’s style to Joe Rogan’s, and Joe Rogan’s feels like such a dick in comparison https://t.co/NCpx13d7P9
compare: Joe Rogan on the left JBP on the right they’re both saying essentially the same thing. “go to the gym” “it’s hard, i know” “do it anyway” https://t.co/rUdX9o6hZZ https://t.co/HtGqmdYfbn
Joe Rogan is like: i don’t even understand why these people struggle, man. i just don’t. i solved these problems meanwhile JBP is like: you can’t make any excuses for yourself. it’s totally understandable where you are, and that still doesn’t make excuses
there really was something special about jbp he has a flavour of kind. not compromising his truth, but not somehow failing to understand you either to fail to understand you would not just be unkind. it would be deliberately confused, about the emotional truth https://t.co/wumruLy3IQ
maybe Joe Rogan’s style works for some people. maybe people who have a less troubled relationship with authority. Joe Rogan is just expressing himself (this sounds more like an interview than a lecture) etc. https://t.co/VsnmpTCESw
there’s a midwit/topwit meme to be made here, and i think @diviacaroline already made it > I think some people have either basically healthy relationships with authority… or… different flavor of issue where getting this type of message as an imperative is pretty healing? https://t.co/wGvUEty4HU https://t.co/Uo5sX94Ayl
phrasing it this way makes me feel less . . . compulsively about it maybe not my first preference, but i can see it as cool in its own way. in the same way anything in the universe is kind https://t.co/X4q93hgVV9
everything can be seen as an expression of kindness, or of enlightenment (or suffering, or really anything) sometimes the lines of connection are clearer and straighter than for others, and the clarity is different for different people
it also feels like an adult/adolescent dimension Joe Rogan feels more like the adolescent masculine compared to someone like Jocko Willink, very adult masculine energy https://t.co/1d5R4dbIDx
@TheOrangeAlt @natural_hazard @Malcolm_Ocean @QiaochuYuan Adolescent = individual-oriented, thinks in terms of transactions and credit makes decisions based on how their status will be in group Adult = kin-oriented, think in terms of group and aesthetics makes decisions based on what they want to have happen in the group
something about, “i figured out my status, and it’s time for you” vs “i built a stable home that provides shade, and i will support you as you figure yours out” https://t.co/A3ORBb2A92
