Bret Weinstein Lore Quiz

[@ippimerawr]

Even though this is clearly just a bit of Christmas fun, this could actually be a really fun way to demonstrate how absurd these gurus really are in a nice bite size appealing format, especially with those clips of the gurus actually saying those things in between, I vote for this series to continue with other gurus !

[@publiusrunesteffensen5276]

I'll regain my faith in humanity when this channel has millions of subs instead of thousands. Spread the word!

[@mjowsey]

485k for Bret and only 17.4k for these guys😢

[@CKava]

Don’t worry we have a super popular podcast 😉

[@mjowsey]

@CKava it's a great podcast. The best bit is where you look at the sh!77y reviews people have written for you!

[@quietreason8679]

This was exceedingly well done, loved the little musical intro to the quiz!

[@RhondaHaleymaidofthemist]

Fun episode! Thanks

[@fixpontt]

i played the game alongside with you guys and i thought i would just pick the dumbest most conspiratiorial answer every single time and win... but then equally dumb answers showed up as options and i was lost, i got 3 points

[@reyality]

Hilarious 😂 Great catch-up on the madness over at Weinistan.

[@tonyburton419]

"Professor Dave" recently made an extensive video debunking the Weinstein brothers which if watched, you'll never take either seriously again. Hope you do not mind mentioning another channel because this one is so entertaining in what you do.

[@michellelewis3063]

Weinstein discusses science mostly, the evidence. You are free to disbelieve that evidence, but disproving it takes some work, which itself is then open to review and critique. 'Debunking' is a rather unscientific claim.

[@tonyburton419]

@@michellelewis3063 Yeah - after re-reading your comment I can understand your point. Have you fully watched the video I am referring to though, from beginning to end? Yes or No?

[@WhyThisIAsk]

the only issue i has with the video is prof. daves recounting of what happened in evergreen. as much as weinstein is a charlatan kook, what happened was indeed crazy leftists running the assylum. i recall prof dave downplaying that

Bret, like Jordan, is a content apex-predator. A phoenix, to Jordan's dragon, soaring above the sensemaking realm on wings of fire. Xmas just isn't Xmas for me without a DTG's Weinstein episode.

[@cliveadams7629]

Wow, you certainly learned a lot from them about making lots of words mean nothing. Bravo.

[@eddominates]

wait phoenix dominates dragon in the social hierarchy? Where do the lobsters fit in? why am I sobbing?

[@hnc-mitte4800]

@@eddominates the phoenix doesn't DOMINATE the dragon per se, but as we all know the defining feature of the actually existing bird called a phoenix is that he in fact has TWO lives. Two is bigger than one , so he is on top.

[@luszczi]

Wew, I never realized how bad it is. In the end I felt concern, because this video amounts to ridiculing someone who might have mental health issues.

[@nicoledigruber8965]

I know way too much about Bret’s madness. I scored way higher than I should have

Tremendous. Bret looks like my buddies 75 year old grandma with a goatee.

Thank you for this. More people should be speaking truth to Weinstein.

Im convinced he wasn’t always this unhinged. Precvid Brett was a decent dude, I swear.

[@durandboy]

Does Dan have a youtube channel?

[@Benson_Bear]

Yes of course. dgilbert418. has his great music videos.

[@razzle_dazzle]

Yes, it's kzbin.info. It's nothing serious, though - mostly short memey videos. He recently uploaded a funny song about Francis Foster (the "other" guy from Triggernometry).

[@Benson_Bear]

@@razzle_dazzle short and memey can still be serious. i think the peterson fugue is an incredible example. also, there are a few definitely serious and very well done things like his rendition with his sister and others of Avinu Malkeinu

This is hilarious. . . it's also eye opening to just how consistently batshit his claims are.

[@Michael-kp4bd]

Was able to deduce question 1 by thinking like a grifter and just going for a questionable-cause fallacy. There were probably some newer pesticides being developed and used et scale at that time period. And good chance the government would have some hand in protecting its population’s food supply. So Brett will just say that’s the cause. Easy. Looking back, he probably could do the same correlation/causation fallacy with “nutrition deficiency” during the great depression… but he’d need extra steps to pin enough blame to “shadow” powers at be, so… I stand behind my deductive skills lol

[@Michael-kp4bd]

Question 5 is similarly easy… there’s no perpetrator for the Aurora Borealis to blame and cry victim. It’s just kinda a cute story. So that didn’t come from the grifter.

[@zicada7661]

@decodingthegurus one paper questioning it is fine. It just makes it seem it was more difficult to find a list of grievances than you advertise about the guy. Even otherwise relatively reputable sources seem to have missed that one. Given the context of 3-hour ramble on JRE it feels a bit filler to include it

[@decodingthegurus]

@@zicada7661 It took less than 2 mins to find that paper. A quick google should take you to something like this for example, where it is mentioned: www.smithsonianmag.com/history/ten-myths-about-1918-flu-pandemic-180967810/. The hypothesis itself is primarily based on a single paper from 2009. It's extremely funny that you think after hearing the list that it would be hard to find other items. You could make a list of 30 insane things Bret has said in 2024 and still have 20 questions left over.

[@davidbrick6325]

[@nedphillips-jones4611]

Anyone can take clips of a person out of context and dismissively chuckle about their misrepresented ideas. If it relieves stress in your life, I can understand it. The thing is a lot of people are able to recognize the tactic of pretending to be intellectually superior, while failing at good faith engagement with intellectual content. There is a substantive difference between smugly gladhanding, and a process of actually "decoding", or making something intelligible.

[@domenicgalata1470]

I would be surprised if anyone could show me anything from Brett ( or Eric for that matter ) that is actually grounded in reality/ actual science because everything I’ve seen makes me think he’s a buffoon that got called out for his BS and he parlayed that into grifting a right leaning audience for the money. No easier group of marks for even a half assed con man to win over than the right wing audience.

[@NinjaMonkeyPrime]

Anyone can claim something is taken out of context, pretending to know the truth, but providing zero evidence to support that claim isn't a good faith argument, it's just another way to say nuh-uhh.
