Not a gene I dont think but I dont know what it is

Well go on, what is this gene?
tldw summary plz

---

This will not end well.

---

But you see, joe Rogan just likes to give a voice to both equally valid sides, right?

---

Did Rogan blindly agree with him like he does with everyone?

Spotify on suicide watch right now (again).

I honestly wonder how much longer they're going to wait before they finally try and terminate the contract without having to pay him out.

Probably never, he gets millions, millions of views a day. His power and influence from this podcast is starting to get out of control

They knew what they were buying

All humans have the violent gene. Doesn't matter what color you are. Humans are gonna human.

---

What kind of cues did alt right Joe Rogan have to drop for the conversation to get to that point, I wonder

---

Another caucasian with amnesia. I wonder what gene caused them to accuse women of witchcraft and murder them in front of cheering crowds.

sure sounded like it. dude is a fucking moron

---

i barely listen to podcasts to begin with, specially Rogan's.

but lately he seems to be giving more reasons not to tune into his bullshit...

That was a lot of wrongness densely packed in a 30 second clip

• outright claims black people are more violent
• says people should "do their own research" (weird how nazis always recommend this)
• says white and asian people are less violent because "they were like farmers and stuff"

And Rogan just sits there like "wOw?! is that really tru?"

---

"Because we were farmers."

This guy has literally no understanding of history, anthropology, or human evolution.

Farming was invented in the fertile crescent, and they still farmed in Africa...

If anything, the invention of agriculture is what requires a society to have police, guards, banks (also guarded), palaces, laws, fences, castles, and income inequality.

If anything, farming is a MORE AGRESSIVE form of existence than tribal life on the African Savana.

---

See this is why people dislike certain studies and statistics.

Its not that the information is racist, its that people use it as an excuse to be racist like this moron.

Black people do not have some unique gene that makes them violent, thats just making stuff up.

---

By looking at the set where this clip was recorded, it looks like Rogan's old set from about 4-5 years ago.

---

And Rogan nodded enthusiastically, agreed and asked Jimmy (or whoever it is) to pull up the data on that?

---

"Do your own research*

So read racist blogs and watch youtube videos?

---

Well, I did do my on research, and what I found is:

MAO-A is real. Low activity mutations of the gene can produce anti-social behavior if they are expressed by environmental factors, i.e. abusive or violent upbringing, extreme stress, ect.

There were several studies I found on a quick search that found no link between MAO-A and race.

---

Also the "do your own research" is a giant red flag, like @Shadow_Don mentioned. Is this guy the expert or not? If he's an expert he'd want to tell us the research, cite sources, etc.

I wouldn't be like "do your own research on the fertile crescent" or whatever. I'll just tell you what I know and provide a source if it's needed.

If you have to be secretive about sources, they aren't reliable.

And like everyone on the fucking planet knows that (extremely) violent people are violent because they were abused or experienced extreme stress as a child.

Oh Rogan

---

And like clockwork, absolutely no pushback from alt-right Joe Rogan. "Sure, I'll let you platform your racist views on my show". And then he'll go around saying he listens to all view points.

---

It's almost like Rogan is a grifter who knows the audience he's pandering to.

Oh I know, which is why I think if something like that went to court they'd probably lose.

Neither Spotify or Rogan will release his numbers, so that claim isn't necessarily valid.

Also wait, is this actually an episode from like half a decade ago?

Was it Africa that nuked Hiroshima and Nagasaki

Last I checked the evidence of that gene relating to aggressive behavior was very mixed to begin with, never mind second order associations.

Lmao @ dO yOuR oWn ReSeArCh

Yeah, I should also say, the evidence is pretty overstated by the author of the studies, according to articles and analysis I found as well.

Maybe there is a gene for that. Maybe not.

Someone could always look into it and let us know how that goes.

It's a common nazi recruitment tactic. It's a way to float out nazi talking points to susceptible people who aren't yet willing to go full nazi.

"I'm not saying the holocaust was a hoax, I'm just asking questions!"

or

"I'm not saying black people are more violent, I'm just saying do your own research!"

---

This is an episode from 6 years ago that you can't even find on Spotify

And I looked up the guest since I never seen it before and I can't believe Rogan actually let this guy on holy shit

---

I mean, of course there are going to be minor genetic differences from evolving through different environments but I think it's the nurture side of things that engenders behavioral traits. Violence is something we are all capable of but the resistance to violent urges must be culturally instilled

So black people are the Uchiha? Can I get a sharingan, then?

Remember when black people spent much of the 15th and 16th century sailing around the world finding native people to fuck up?

Most wars in history happened in Europe and Asia
