Rogaine Cult Followers freak out when I expose Joe Rogan hilarity on Testosterone Stupidity via Sapolsky

Onbored
I love that Lex actually lets his guests speak instead of trying to dominate the conversations. He is a good interviewer. He asks just enough to wind their mind up and then watches it go. Good stuff. A lot of podcasters could learn from this. Like his friend Joe "Joe Rogan" Rogan

Did you see the Rogaine interview of Professor Robert Saplosky? Rogaine was brown-nosing Sapolsky and going on and on. Then Sapolsky goes: Testosterone causes stupidity. Suddenly Rogaine pretended like he didn't hear Sapolsky. One of the funniest moments on the Interwebs! No one seems to have acknowledged it. I corresponded with Sapolsky back around 2007.

@Voidisyinyang Voidisyinyang What the heck dude? If I recall it right, Sapolsky didn't explicitly state at any point that testosterone causes stupidity. And Rogan didn't ignore him, he even asked if testosterone causes stupidity (or slows maturation, idk) and Sapolsky answered along the lines of "not really/not significantly". Did you even listen to that entire podcast?
@Alice D good man. This guy seemed to be setting himself up as the only person who saw something.....that didn't actually happen 😂 Judging by his silence, he wasn't expecting your response 😂
@Mister Sifter judging by youtube algorithms censoring replies you mean? Your bad logic exposes the waste of time it would be to engage with you on a content level. Nice try to dismiss me on a form level.
@Alice D OH I did correspond with Professor Sapolsky back around 2006 regarding his book and also his mentor's book that I had read. Sapolsky was wondering what caused the Exclusion Principle since it goes against evolution. "If I recall right" - that's a very nice set up to proceed to describe whatever you want to describe. I guess it's your memory against mine. I'll dig up the vid and transcribe it for you. No problem - oops - Rogaine is behind paywall now right? I'll try. haha

 It's one of the most consequential pieces in neurobiology, so you asked what kind of things affect how well your prefrontal cortex is working, in that one second you have to decide if that person is holding a cell phone or a hand gun or do you pull a trigger? Or that one second, do you take this thing and run... or does temptation get resisted? So what sort of things affect what sort of things you are doing... All of those things make the frontal cortex work not as well. If you're a male what your testosterone levels are at the time. No surprise testosterone makes your frontal cortex all sluggish and stupid.... (Joe Rogan makes a slight snorting sound in response as Sapolsky keeps talking).....
 Rogaine later tries to ask about Testosterone later on....

Rogaine: Wow, now the frontal cortex is not fully online until you're what 25...? So you just live your life like an ape....you're deep into your adulthood....  
Sapolsky: Which has some stupefying implications....  
Rogaine: Is it uniform with males and women?... That has to do with testosterone impeding it?... Sapolsky: It seems to be a different mechanism...  
Rogaine: So compounds it, compounds it! Testosterone impedes it.... 
 (So Sapolsky JUST so NO it's a different mechanism - and Rogaine does NOT listen and REPEATS his claim about testosterone!!).  
Sapolsky says: It does not help....
