Neil deGrasse Tyson - How Christopher Columbus Was a Dick - Joe Rogan

This guy is a total moron. He couldn't be less intelligent. Please someone challenge me.

Never did hear about the marginally redeeming part.

Sometimes Neil has a grandiose way of speaking that bothers me but I respect his genius

Columbus was a dick because the navigator of his largest ship 🛳 was Black on his first voyage. The Black navigator navigated that ship into rocks. That navigator probably read and wrote multiple European languages.

Neil interviewing himself.

I could easily see Tyson lording his fact trivia over an entire people to keep his ego inflated

No as much of a dick as NDT

Please. I don't want to hear Tyson anymore. Large Bubble Head.

So what he's saying is that you can use science to lie to people and rip them off.

As if the indigenous people didnt know about the bloody moon changing colours sometimes. Biggest load of crap ive ever heard.

Neil is the best

like it or not Columbus is one of the most important figures in human history. Steve jobs was also a dick.

So, Columbus is on his 4th, or maybe 5th trip to the new world. It’s fair to say they knew where the were going, they knew how long it takes to get there, and to get back. It is also fair to say they would know how much provisions they would need, based upon crew size. I mean, honestly, here is a guy who has the time and the resources to track lunar eclipses, not only when they will occur, but WHERE. And he can’t track how much food he is going to need?
And we have an indigenous people, who I am SURE were noble, peaceful people, who only drove to church on Sunday, who ONLY produced enough to meet their needs? Come on! And, you have a woodcut. A woodcut that backs all of this shit up. Cuz, a woodcutter would never lie, right?
I’ll say this- if Columbus wanted to, he could have flat out taken the food. He could have flat out killed those people.
But, no, revisionist historians need to make up this new age bullshit about him taking advantage of a backwards race.
Sorry, Neil, not this time….

Neil is an idiot!

This guy tries to act like he's an expert in every area. ALL he has to do is read a few article online then blab away to sound "Authoritative"!

As below so above or as above so below

A knight in King Arthur’s court

Cant listen to this egotistical dick.

Why does Neil lie about everything?

A lot of jealous Blax and browns in the world.

Columbus did more for the world than you ever had you shill.

And where is this recorded in history ?!

The guys name is Cristobal Colon, no Christopher Columbus.

Now your just making shit up Neil.

Thinkin and talkin for this guy is like watching porn and masturbating for the rest of us

Acts 2:21 King James Version 21 And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved.

Romans 10:9 - That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.

The natives had never seen the blood moon until Columbus showed up?

There are two sides to the argument one says that Neil is so arrogant and full of himself and the other is that he is an excellent teacher and can explain anything. I have never seen any of you make that connection that he is both. When you become very intelligent and knowledgable its easy to slip into an arrogant state. Most of my teachers had half of his knowledge but double his arrogance.

Alot of regular joes lol saying shit like neil thinks he knows everything and thinks he's superior to others. He talks about stuff he knows nothing about...lets begin
He knows more than you I bet
He is superior to you 😬
Language is a barrier that can be a speed bump for some and a mountain for others. Neil is a mountain guy but he's so brilliant and better than you that hes able to express himself regardless.
I dont believe neil wants to be smarter or better than others consciously but consciously believes that its his duty to educate others and learn as much as he can. I bet he gets pleasure not from feeling superior to me or you, even though he probably is but, from teaching others. I have the same dopamine response and I'm also often judged in the same way he is. Whats fucked though is im sensitive enough to not want to come off that way so you saying that is just hurting me, you and, that person I could've taught something too when I shut down out of fear of hurting others when I'm riding on helping and teaching not dominace and a superiority complex. Im an infp-t 5w4 who studies psychology and philosophy and I'm very confident that I'm correct and if neil says youre right or plays into it i bet hes subconsciously protecting himself trying to hide his sensitive nature or is highly offended that youd misjudge them so harshly and as a consequence that would actually make you the person who talks about things(or people) they know nothing about😬 and so sarcastically agrees or doesnt disagree just to check you back with added bonus points if youre not able to understand hes now being sarcastic in response of your toxicity. Remember kids check yourself before you rek-rekity-rek yourself. 😂 some of us arnt playing with dominos like you are but with two decks of playing cards trying are best to appear acceptable and still being true to ourselves which is hard to manage sometimes. I bet neil is an intp that learned to extrovert or just an entp. I think intp. I know intps and theyre good people that feel bad when you misjudge them out of ignorance, jealousy, fear, disgust, mirroring and, spite either consciously or subconsciously. I often play the fool but can absolutely tbone you if I wanted and be the things youre accusing me of to show you what that really looks like or just let you hurt me to teach you a lesson because Ill forgive you and move on so fast youll be paranoid and you should be if you believe in karma or revenge is Gods or the laws of nature. I wont revenge you but when it comes back around and tags you ill try to help you work through it since you just put me through it because really I love people even though they terrify me beyond belief. 😵‍💫 I cant help it its in my nature and my best opportunity to help someone by helping someone by helping myself 😋

It's funny, I'm watching this on Columbus Day

I am surprised the natives didn’t know this information !!

Neil is so full of shit on this one, not even funny, but it is.

Thank God for Columbus
Great for us Americans
It was obviously a brutal time
So we can only move forward

The only thing that keeps columbus relevant to American history, now that we know for a fact that L'anse aux meadows is not a myth, are some schoolbooks that haven't caught up and the Italian lobby.

That Eclypse stunt, wouldn't work with the Aztecs!

Colin us was from Spain not England

This dude loves himself so much that he'll keep flapping and flapping and flapping. . .

It would have been funny if Columbus tried the lunar eclipse in the real India,
Columbus: King, the moon is going to turn blood red,
King calls his as Astrologer, Hey, this guy says the Moon is going to turn blood red,
Astrologer : You are right, it's going to turn blood red, I've calculated it to take place tomorrow.

Indian Astrologers developed the Math regarding solar and lunar eclipse predictions and this knowledge spread to the Arabs and then spread to the Spanish.

Did Joe die for 5 mins!

Imagine if there wasn’t going to be a Total Lunar Eclipse, Columbus would have never taken the crop. What luck

Columbus was a Dousche-Lord. The Indians still to this day have no word for "Ownership" God owns the Earth. Columbus didn't discover America, he started the first World War. There were 60 million Indians in 1492 in the United States. Now there is less than 50, 000. They had more pain and death dropped on them, then all Jews and blacks combined! You never hear about it, because they never whine. "'Hey everyone, Irish, esp. Free Land!' "Kill all the Squatters!!" If you ever talk to someone who can see Spirit Guides... You will always have 1 American Indian in there. They are so incredibly Spiritual

"I just asked you if you're going to vote Neil"

He seems to know nothing about alot. 😅

Every one was a dick back then so what

Shout-out to Galileo for advancing science.

How crazy is it now that he has the craziest theory of sex and gender

The Awful Truth About Scribes
Books are really a worthless addiction. Humanity does not need them or mass electronic media. People who read cannot just make the connection and like muscle building they become gross and flaccid, only in their brains. The gods are just book drunkards standing around or making music. They're bench warmers at a weak carnival of stupidity. A few historical records and some engineering notes is all we need. Humanity would have the courage to finally let go. The awful truth is that paper itself is the root of all evil.

Abul Hasan ibn Ishaq invented the telescope jack arse. Educate your ignorant arse.

The Climate Science Experts pushing the cow killing, the 15 minute cities and doubling down on global mineral extraction are the Christopher Columbus’ in the modern version of this story. Those of us who are going to be eating bugs are the residents of the island Hispaniola.
