I feel like I have to have a betterr understanding of german history and culture in order to make claims about their philosophy
Some guests just bullshit him for the whole thing.
@DanielKO
Yeah, that's true
lol, I actually know what I would write, but we're being restricted in what sources we can bring in... so essentially I can't argue that
Rubin definitely soft balls guests
@Assassinsknife
What you want to write?
he's not going to drill down on anybody, he wants to come off as mr friendly
I wish he had done a better job with Tomas Sowell, it was disappointing
@Assassinsknife I have to argue against gun control, and prove that the welfare state is responsible for an increase in gun violence. (kill me now)
If I was doing interviews, I'd like to come off as the silly guy who I am and then hard ball somebody
@Fitzydog How in the world is there a connection between the two of those?
Poverty @Assassinsknife
Rubin doesn't need to drill anybody, but he should prevent guests from talking nonstop about nothing.
Fair
The goal of an interview is to make the other person feel you're their best friend, but you're just trying to get information out of them
@Assassinsknife It's the only connnection. Look at Lyndon Johnson
I'd like more drill downs.
@Fitzydog hezuz d00d/d00dette how the fuck are you still alive?
I feel often there's a road somebody starts to go down, then a host just let's that go
@Charles Khan Joe Rogan, dude.
I stand corrected, that is true.
fair 'nuff
he puts people on the spot
Joe Rogan will double back with people.
that is my main problem with Rubin, he has good production, but the interviews are pretty standard and if you know anything about the guest, chances are you won't learn anything new.
Lord have mercy upon me, this asshat is saying that Civilization is a tool of the bourgeoisie
Nuke California please
yes
Letting the guests talk is good to let them expand on their ideas beyond what most interview settings would let them. But if they're saying nothing, it just becomes a waste of time. Rubin needs to take control in those cases; see how Joe Rogan steered Sargon into specifics.
no wait!
I only recently found out that products in California all have this sticker saying that the product may cause cancer
