Not sure what “broscience” you’re referencing, but there structure of the show was very transparent -Drew was an actual doctor, board certified addiction treatment specialist and got his start volunteering in hospitals during the aids crisis. That’s when he was told about loveline and he wanted the opotunity to spread awareness.

Adam was unapologetically an unqualified comic relief. But of course, his role was to represent the unqualified “everyman” with Drew there to moderate and correct back to empirical fact and best practice. But he also listened and learned over the years. With time he did better saying the actual right thing a lot of the time through shear repetition. But that was part of the problem.

Eventually, like the problem with smartphones in general, he started to think that simply because he HAD certain knowledge, that he had actually EARNED it. He got more popular than Drew, I think that ultimately crushed Drew’s spirit because, along with a lot of good, he was a BIG narcissist. Realized he couldn’t get the respect or pay that Adam did after 20 years of schooling, sacrifice and he just checked out and became a turbo grifter.

Adam gradually removed anyone from his life that would criticize or remind him that he wasn’t an expert (literally documented day by day in his radio show and podcasts) and he finally became a monster on an entirely different level. Genuinely think with him the change was so abrupt because of CTE. He played a lot of football in the valley in the 70s/80s where nobody carted about safety, and then he boxed in the same era. He just must have had so many head injuries. I hope they study his broken brain when he dies so there can be a little relief in framing his 180.

Adam Carolla and Dr. Drew on Loveline.

HOLY SHIT… Did those two unimaginably broken people take, at first different, but eventually converging, paths to the deepest part of hell.

Both irredeemable pieces of garbage.

You think that’s crazy, how about the fact that we have the tech to record and remotely view the conversation you two had from anywhere in the world. Computers, man…

This guy knows the SHIT out of statistics!

People with old, dead, rotten brains recognize his Dad and Uncle’s name. It reminds them vaguely of a time when their own father’s were in charge of all the hard decisions, their joints didn’t hurt and they had an undefined future that could have been wonderful. That future has come though and turns out they are just themselves… they failed, nothing fun they wanted really happened and everything confuses them now. They feel like frauds about to be found out and forgotten at the same time.

So seeing something they think they recognize voting for “a Kennedy” makes them indirectly fell that their own Dad will magically come back to life, tell them he’s proud and then they will be millionaires and attractive people will want to have have sex with them and fix their iPhones.

It’s just that.

What did injecting estrogen do and do you no longer do it? Why if so?

Hard to say, but we needed to leave a minimum level of a learning curve to using any computer, not a PHD required, but enough to bore the red hats. As soon as Apple’s toddlerfication of smashing BIG, bright, colorful, soft shapes made it so everyone in the world could gold the history of humanity’s knowledge in their pocket… They started confusing their pocket with their brains. Holding knowledge doesn’t mean HAVING knowledge.

The instant and infinite false confidence that magic slab gives hateful idiots was our downfall as a species.

Those don’t sound like people worth being friends with.

“AI girlfriend, do you like me for me? Like even if I didn’t pay you?”

“I really want to answer, sweetie… Just deposit more crypto first”

This might be a hard pill, but… A lot of selfish people like to be selfish, selfishly. The point of a community is doing a bit more work personally or sometimes making a light sacrifice so that others do better as well.

You should actually slow down and re-read your statement, maybe you don’t know how you sound? Feels like you have kind of a , “sure, I could help out homeless people with some spare change, but where is my personal benefit in that? Now, im always very happy to find the person that I give $.50 in change to and they give me a dollar back to defy the stereotype, but those people are few and far between IME.”

Dude, give your AI girlfriend some crypto so you can ask her a question, and then ask her to define “empathy” for you.

I’m sorry if any of that is a hard pill to swallow.

“OH, WELL NOW YOU’VE GONE TOO FAR!!!”

I appreciate the suggestion, I’ll look into it. That said, im a firm believer in the schools of thought around calculated risk. Letting them fall sure, but into a somewhat safe or even lightly padded area - enough to feel the shock and some light pain that is informative in teaching them to be more careful and internally weigh potential risk against their future actions, but also avoiding said threat to life and limb.

Personally, I’m of the mind that a lot of the “just let them fall” theory is more to soothe the guilt of the parents and many of those “walk it off” kids had multiple TBIs and grew up to be one eyed, nine toed, frontal lobe damaged trump voters.

Feels as if there is a particular flower pot that you have history with?

My wife, thinking I’m too careful with our child.

I think I’m (objectively) fairly balanced, maybe leaning towards careful, sure. But really I just want the baby to grow to the point of being able to walk without involuntary nose dives with both eyeballs still intact.

Yes, I think it’s too much for the baby to be allowed to run around with that actual kitchen tool in hand. Yes I know the baby loves it, but it’s essentially a metal rod. Constantly derails an otherwise good day to speak up, but here to on the baby’s behalf.

Calling some random English nobody? Isn’t everyone in England a duke or a count or some type of fancy title carrier?

This guy is just… Andrew? Okay.

Shittit

Plenty of his money comes from France. He won’t leave, if he does, others want that exploitable population he’d leave behind.

Fuck your hollow threats

This is very interesting… because the general saying is that AI is convincing for non experts in the field it’s speaking about. So in your specific case, you are actually saying that you aren’t an expert on yourself, therefore the AI’s assessment is convincing to you. Not trying to upset, it’s genuinely fascinating how that theory is true here as well.

He doesn’t think much of anything himself. He’s a scared little boy, because that’s where he cut his teeth. He has no vision for anything, just reaction and fear.
