But here we go.
Jesus Christ, Adam Conover is such a stupid asshole. "I'm certainly not an expert on this" Then stop making pronouncements from on you, you douche!
Adam "uses Contra Points as a source" Conover
Is he just as agonizing as he is in his stupid show?
Yes
Ugh
The top comment sums up everything Adam has to say with "Again, I'm not an expert, but I want society to completely changed based on my uneducated, personal opinion."
I’ll watch some when I get to WiFi.
Joe made him look bad and wasn't even trying to. Joe just wanted to make the point that shooting children up with drugs that will forever change them could be a bad idea. For some reason Adam was defending it.
"I'm not talking about using anecdotal information."
Immediately launches into an anecdote to back up his point.
I think he's even worse here than his own show, because at least in his own show he can cite sources. He's pulling everything out of his ass during this interview
yeah, not so great without his production team
But the question is are the sources on his show any less horseshit than what he's spouting here?
He's had *some* good sources in the past, but I really doubt it
Really? Have they ever produced a single decent show?
I remember the trophy hunting one not being terrible. Haven't watched in a while though so maybe i am mis-remembering.
He mentioned the trophy hunting stuff at the beginning of the interview with Joe. That's the one that comes to mind when I try to think of legit stuff he's done
The rest may just be when he talks about the origins of random folklore
I've heard some fairly decent arguments for trophy hunting, so I would have to hear that for myself, though I don't want to.
I realized why he got the trophy hunting arguement right. in the video he's a frog:

Oh shit, that's not the stance I expected him to take.
Oh. I actually thought he’d argue against it.
power of frog man
There needs to be a balance of predator an prey so that the ecosystem remains stable.
The guy has taken every standard leftist position on everything else.
Kudos to actually trying to tell the truth for once.
Also, because he mentioned poachers, those assholes can be pretty inventive, as seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZQG1bHugZRA
Even the "researcher" he referenced for his argument on trans isn't a scientist. The person has a degree in mikitary research from being in the military
That doesnt mean the are qualified to do research on the emotional or psychological impact of child trans issues
I get it, that "researcher" is trans. But that doesn't mean they are qualified on the subject, i have a butt hole, doesnt mean im qualified to be a psychologist
so instead of a trans research it's a trans researcher....
I mean, someone in the military can become a doctor/researcher.
That doesn't mean they're a good one though. I find that doctors who study psychological phenomena that they deal with tend to have more blinders than those who don't.
from what I hear most psychologists go into the field to solve their own psychological issues
Do we let people serve in the military if they have been diagnosed with a psychological condition that makes them want to cut their arm off? Or some who has been diagnosed and thinks they are a cat?
ah cut their arm off so body dysphoria
It's kind of like the line from Scarface isn't it? Never do your own stash.
Most psychology activists struggle with their own mental issues. Most psychologists I've met either haven't struggled, or if they have, they've "fixed" it.
It's after their own counseling that they enter the field.
His degree was in miltary research, not medical research
I personally don't really see degrees as much of a qualification of competence.
After he left the military to be a woman he startes being a journalist on trans issues
