Hancock believes there was a large flood 10,000 years ago.

As far as I’m aware there is no evidence of a cataclysm / flood near the pyramids at the end of the last ice age.
Hancock just likes to get out his maps and show the sea level rise from about 15,000 years ago until today, and claim it happened in one night rather than thousands of years
I should clarify my position, I don't think there was a flood overnight. I do think something happened 10,000 years ago and set human civilisation back.

I'm more interested in Robert Schoch's work, which is semi-related to Hancock's theory.

It is only related to Hancocks theory because he decided, based on nothing, to make it so. As I said in my other post, Robert initially thought, based on the evidence and his research, the Sphinx was about half as old as he now claims.

Out of interest what makes you think something significant happened circa 10,000 years ago?

It is known that the Sahara has changed dramatically over the eons. From the end of the last ice age about 12,000 years ago until around 6000-8000 years ago, the Sahara was much wetter and was probably largely grass land.

Listening now. Should be played with a loud haler around towns. I’m sure people will still put their fingers in their ears.

You have complete autonomy over your health, you can eat well and exercise. But we choose the easy path of eating st doing nothing and then end up paying pharmaceutical companies to invent bullst remedies that really don’t do anything.

Again, another grifter hosted by Rogan. Guys, do the bare minimal level of research before labelling everyone else as the gullible ones. Quite embarrassing now.

Is it just me or have the interesting guests really dried up?

I can't remember the last time he had someone famous or interesting on the podcast. He has the same guests on regularly and the chat turns to old comedy clubs, starting out in comedy, moving to Texts etc.

Its a real shame as I used to enjoy listening to him talking about cars and other random subjects.

Feel free to expand on that, to save anyone embarrassing themselves.

1980 Michio Kaku

Always worth a listen. Used to love watching string theory documentaries on Discovery back in the day.

Weird seeing these guys I watched a lot in the early 00s getting old. I mean, not really weird, they were quite old even then. We're all getting old lol.

On a slight tangent, but related to the above, I watched Richard Dawkins (the legend) on Pierce Morgan's Youtube channel at the weekend. Worth a listen. I recently listened to the audiobook of the Selfish Gene, having not consumed any Dawkins content for quite a while. It's an excellent book. Dawkins got somewhat labelled as a militant atheist, which is a distraction from his true expertise.

Dawkins on JRE was a massive let down, seem to remember it felt like they either didn’t gel on a personal level or Dawkins was past his best.

Pleased to hear his showing on p Morgan was good, as I thought age might have caught up with him.

I think it's varied.
I don't listen to the MMA guests or most of the comedians, but really enjoy the scientists and people that talk about travelling etc..

Yes the UFO guy, although I’m extremely open minded about everything, I just am not that interested or care very much.

Michio was interesting, but for someone supposedly so intelligent his belief around time and how only humans think in it was odd. Time is an artificial construct we’ve developed, so no wonder animals don’t think in it. But birds wake up at the same time every day, the flying ants come out pretty much on the same day in July every year, they have a “time” construct, but they are much more sophisticated. We’ve actually dumbed ourselves down and removed a sense by inventing our time values, it’s probably held us back, yet he lauds it as a positive. Interesting to hear though.

Talked about mercury for 40 mins, I lost interest.

Been some other really good guests recently though. The John Wick director and Jelly Roll were good.

Not sure, I haven't seen that show yet, although I've heard it's brilliant.
