I've stopped listening to Joe Rogan's Podcast for good 4 or 5 years now. Currently I am at 40:57 and now I want to go find the episode with that Flint and actually want to listen to it. Great Guest :D
Yep, the Dibble v. Hancock was actually exciting. Most of Rogan episodes the past ~5-10 years have been super mediocre. Used to have them on speed-dial, now I ignore it 97 % of the time unless there's an exceptional guest or theme.
It's a very revealing podcast. you can hear Hancock admit multiple times that he has no evidence for claim XYZ. Additionally he goes "I am not a scientist, I am journalist, I can make claims without a scientific basis to them"
This might be my favorite bridges episode so far. Flint seems like such a cool dude to bullshit with over some beers and pick his brain. Love the way he actively listens and writes down important bits so he doesnt lose them too. He was seriously engaged during the whole convo. Will definately be checking out his podcast!
I feel so defeated. I was one of the ones who fell for Graham Hancock's version of events. I was so interested. I watched all the Joe Rogan's and his Netflix special. I owe you, Flint. Thank you for helping me escape "the Matrix" sort of speak. Now I need to grieve the loss of what I thought was such an interesting theory. More experts need to get out there and do the same as Flint. The public needs you to save us lay people from misinformation.
I feel for you dude. I had a similar experience when I read the seminal ancient aliens stuff (Chariots of the Gods and the 12th Planet) in the late eighties. I took the easy bait and became that guy. I feel fortunate that there was no internet/you tube in those days to feed my delusion. I ultimately studied some real science and talked to an astronomer and an Assyriologist, and got their perspectives on the claims made in these books. Anyhow, when, in the late '90s I picked up "Fingerprints of the Gods" I was bemused at the similar arguments that are used by Hancock to those deployed by Von Danniken and Sitchin. With my newly developed critical skepticism I was able to see through his self-deception. I do think Hancock truly believes some of his wild assertions. He just seems to have a low bar for credible evidence and he's more than willing to accept flimsy/ambiguous clues if they fit his narrative.
@@FlintDibbleIe the reason right-wingers absolutely HATE the idea of "fact checking" Because they know their horseshit ideas cannot stand up to ANY level of scrutiny
@@FlintDibble Dude, I am 100% sure he is immensely proud of you. You slayed a dark dragon that infected a lot of minds and showed the light of truth in the darkness of ignorance. It's a victory you can hold onto proudly.
The best part of this whole episode was the very end where you gave him the chance to geek out about his favorite excavations. Hearing his excitement and enthusiasm talking about dog bones and walls is truly infectious. This is the kind of energy we need to combat the outrageous and fantastical claims made by someone like Hancock. There is so much to be learned from seemingly mundane places.
I love when destiny gets into fangirl mode and tries to ask 3 questions at once and validate what the guest said at the same time. It comes out as these beautiful impassionate Hodge podge sentences at 3 X speed. This episode was an absolute blast, all 3 have great synergy.
@@XavierKhrone Miniminuteman Milo. He's an archaeology dude. He's done some absolutely BANGER work debunking historical conspiracies and covering incredibly interesting histories that don't get enough airtime.
Normally not one to drop a comment, but this was my favorite episode so far! It's so cool to hear an academic who is able to make the content digestible without losing too much of the complex info.
Flint really reminds me of the 1 or 2 gems I've had for teachers in my life. He really cares, and it's not because of some real concrete reason...he just really fucking loves teaching and communicating.
You will have a lasting positive influence on western culture through this forum. Please continue for all of our betterment. Godspeed Steven, Kyla, and the bridges staff.
This was one of the most interesting conversations. I really enjoyed the information on archeology and on handling misinformation/disinformation. Please keep it coming!
The passion in Flint's voice is infectious. Love the episodes of the podcast with expert guests just talking about what they have expertise in with a little banter sprinkled in!
Now please do the exact same convo but with other fields to have them dispel common bullshit. Like biology/environmental science. Such a great episode!
I love seeing these intellectually stimulating conversations and especially appreciate that they don't necessitate politically divisive talking points. The discussion and exploration of rhetoric in science, society, and academia is an absolutely fascinating subject. This ramifications of these forces in public discourse reaches a paramount point in the conversation around 2 hours in. Engaging all the way through, keep up the great work. This is truly rare and high quality content that I hope to see more of in your efforts moving forward. Cheers.
Hate to admit it, but a few years back I was definitely one of the guys who live graham Hancock, his early eps on rogan were really enjoyable. Assuming that he was qualified and educated to talk about ancient archeology, and societies. It was only over the years actually looking into what he is spreading. Flint dibble is the goat. Going onto rogan, knowing he’s probs gonna get overwhelming hate, still managed to show his great character and easily disprove just about everything Hancock has ever came out with hahahahaha
@@raincadeifyeven things like exercise and working out you’d think Joe Rogan is knowledgeable in is riddled with bad information. He really is a hole of misinformation
@@tcolley Or maybe the kind of person who continually updates and reevaluates their views is the thing we need, especially right now. The arrogance you're showing in your response to the op's honesty is at the root of why some people refuse to change even when the evidence is right in front of them: it's fear based. How will people judge me, how will my imagined status from being right be affected? Saying one is wrong and reversing direction takes courage and curiosity, and in the end, inspires trust.
Jesus I would prefer literally any other archeologist, this guy is a literal weasel hobbit who calls people racist if they disagree with him, just lazy smears and an annoying lollypop guild voice.
@wafflestomper6958 Yeh because you feel attacked that's why. He destroyed graham on joe rogan. And now your here calling him a weasel, that's all you have. Insults. You lost buddy 😅
@Ryan-eu3kp no, because literally any other archeologist would have been a better representative. They deliberately chose a weird little woke weasel to make Graham look better. Graham is woowoo as fuck and thinks the ancients used telekinesis to move megaliths, but there's no reason to call him racist for his wacky ideas, that's just lazy.
What an incredible episode, you can tell he’s a good teacher because the way he speaks. Never blinked twice about archeology but now I’m quite interested
I'd argue that archaeology is the most important field of study next to physics and cosmology, and Flint Dibble is doing a great job of popularising it.
I admire your courage in debating Hancock. I was swayed by your arguments, especially the ice core evidence. Please understand that there were those who listened to your arguments objectively and appreciated your appearance.
We listened. But we heard lack of evidence that Atlantis didnt exist. We heard a lot of we dont know from flint. Bad to hear an archeologist repeat he dont know something
@@kungfumaster12 lack of evidence that it didn't exist? The burden on proof is the person claiming it, if they haven't proven it their position is automatically unjustified. Prove to me that there wasn't an ancient civilization of crab people.
@BlankNames111 and we have the proof. Everyday archeologists find more proof that advance Civilizations existed before our industrial age. Slowly erasing the label of primitive Civilizations. And replacing it with advance ancient civilizations. Gobekli tepe is part of the proof Atlantis type civilizations existed. Smh
@BlankNames111 I can prove ancient crab people existed. Which disproves that they didn't. Apes aren't the only species that evolved into a humoid life. Notice how many civilizations have animal head humans as part of their belief system. 🤔 ferrebeekeeper.wordpress.com/2011/05/23/the-moche/
I can’t believe graham is even considered to be in the same category as flint, flint is the real deal and graham is one step above ancient aliens 👽. Love flint big time
It was Graham Hancock and Randal Carlson on Joe Rogan that sent me down the rabbit hole of conspiracy theories and alt right media. So thankful for people like destiny and dibble not being afraid to confront bad ideas with reason.
Man, Randal carlson has really turned into a massive disappointment. He's gotten so cooky he's supporting some pretty ominous right conspiracy figures - I thunk the last time he was on rogan he kept bringing up a guy he wanted rogan to have on
On the Rogan, Hancock, Dribble debate, I went in complete on Graham Hancock’s side. Dribble destroyed but he did in a way that made man’s actual more fun and exciting. Hancock and Rogan both seemed fascinated by Dribble lesson on horde culture and the domestication of plants. Looking at things like man’s journey through the americas during the ice age fight saber tooth tigers, short faced bears and giant sloths. We don’t need Atlantis to make history interesting and Dribble did an amazing excellent job of demonstrating that to morons like me and Rogan
@@billycoo7916 As is exemplified by the fact that his name is Dibble, not Dribble. ^ ^ But, jokes aside, I'm so happy to see his approach was able to reach people. I was lucky to grow up in a household where a lot of actual science was present, so I got innoculated early on, but I can still see the appeal of these pseudoarcheological ideas. There is so much mystery and awe connected to them. I think topics like Atlantis or ancient advanced civilizations make for good stories. That's why I like Lovecraft and his peers. Robert E. Howard and Clark Ashton Smith have both written several stories about a pre-ice-age civilization. So, that's the form I try to enjoy these ideas in: as fiction. And I invite you to do that too.
I'm only 30 minutes in and already this is a huge help to me in my position. I'm not an academic, but I do guest lectures and other outreach initiatives at a university and am always looking for tips on engaging with people
As someone who always thought Hancock was a bit of a kook, and had no idea who Dibble was, I thoroughly enjoyed his time on Rogan. It was refreshing having someone spitting facts at Hancock and Rogan and watching them try to weasel around them. It made sense for Rogan who's a mouthbreather with no expertise in the subject, and I thought he was at least open minded with Flint's argumentation. Hancock just came off as delusional and defensive
I heard your Joe Rogan podcast with you and Graham. You did great. As much as I love all of these stories about ancient Atlantis etc. the truth is the truth and you championed it well.
erudite is a guardian angel who can help any person needing to become self aware find their way. always the next step, senpai. thank you and sorry again.
Flint! I was so excited for your episode on Rogan and you absolutely killed it! I used to watch Rogan fairly regularly, but I just got so tired of people like Graham Hancock, Randle Carlson, Ben van Kerkwyk (UnchartedX), Jimmy Corsetti (Bright Insights) - just to name a few. I've always loved archeology and ancient history, and I get the allure of asking questions and challenging the status quo, but none of these people have ever spent a single second trying to approach their questions scientifically. It was refreshing to see you take this challenge head on and make a stand for scientific thinking on such a huge platform and against such a figurehead of that world. Archeology is such a cool field because it intersects and relies on so many other fields, like genetics, biology/evolution, geology, meteorology, etc. People like Hancock start with some sort of fantastical narrative and work backwards, creating unfalsifiable claims and selectively interpreting data to suit their ideas. They simply don't understand how many different fields of science converge to help us paint a picture of the past (or if they do, they ignore it anyway). Anyway, I've loved watching you and other archeology/history/science enthusiasts like Milo Rossi (Miniminuteman) and Dr. David Miano (World of Antiquity) build interest and support in actual archeology while helping to combat the surge of pseudoarcheology and pseudoscience generally.
I've worked as a part time math tutor for my whole undergraduate degree. Learning how to teach and impart information clearly and concisely is an incredibly useful skill. It's helped me communicate better in general, but especially if I ever have to efficiently deliver information to another person.
I'm really digging this podcast...i like destiny's ability to debate, how rationally he thinks, and his ability to apply a nuance approach to the conversation. Flint is that teacher that everyone talked about after they left school. Teachers are some of the most important people in a child's life and Flint carries that responsibility very well.
Pop science is upstream from a lot of crazy stuff going on with social media, but pop science is downstream from actual science. I watched the Rogan debate, and Flint Dibble is one of the greats for just going, "No! I study this stuff, and that's just wrong." I hope we're seeing the start of a trend of actual scientists engaging more with our online garbage fire. This episode was great, and you can see this is actually a brilliant dude just trying to combat the bs spreading like wildfire.
Really good episode. Was kind of hesitant after the Joe Rogan podcast thinking this was going to be another archeology deep dive but you guys tied this in relevancy very well. Keep doing what you are doing!
Flint, I used to be a Graham fan when I was much younger. I just enjoyed learning about archaeological sites themselves, nothing to due with his ancient civilization theory. It wasn't until later that I realized the harm in his theories and how he portrays the field of archaeology. Your debate performance was fantastic. It was the first JRE I listened to in years. One of the largest sticking points for me was that you disproved Graham's notion that 'mainstream archaeology doesn't want you to hear about this', which makes you question a lot of other things he says. I also notice similar rhetoric in a lot of other pseudoscience or conspiracies.
Flint is a hero. I'm studying archaeology in uni right now and watching his content this year has been a big part of my decision to do that. This was great! I'm usually not a huge fan of Destiny or Kyla but this was a good convo
@@FlintDibble Flint you are incredibly disingenuous. You clearly tried to tie Hancock to racism and are now weaseling out. Hugely disppointed with Destiny because he himself has made experiences with people like you but I'll chalk that up to his lack of interest in archeology.
@@EbonyPopeWell, yeah some of the sources Hancock uses are written by supremacists 🤷♀️ not sure why people find it so shocking that alt history was often written and perpetuated by supremacist ideology of the past. Graham tied himself to that. He could say “I’m totally not a racist, BUT… this source stating that the pre-deluvian Atlantean culture was white and that native brown people worldwide are inferior savages is a favorite of mine, for the scientific info it has. But I disagree with its conclusions and assumptions.” Then he might at least clarify why he’s using those types of sources. That’s up to Hancock if he wants to clarify some of his dodgy sources.
@@raina4732 I know that. Mine get removed a lot too. Sometimes the algo doesn't like a specific word. First of all name me Hancock's supposedly racist source. I would assume the only thing you'll ever find is that hyperdiffusionism is tied to Donnelly who was a very racist guy. But the theory of hyperdiffusion is older and was put forth by people who were the exact opposite of racists. It was Charles Etienne Brasseur de Bourbourg and Augustus Le Plongeon who thought that the Mayans were the descendants of Atlantis. Hancock was always very clear who he thought his lost civilization was. He seems to believe that they stem somewhere from Africa. So it isn't white people like some people claim he thinks were the origin of that myth. Second Hancock is known for defending and trying to preserve native culture everywhere and has a deep appreciation for it. To claim that Hancock even indirectly inspires racism would be like saying Gandhi was inspiring hatred and violence. Also most people overlook a huge mistake they make with these claims. White people did not exist during the time Hancock hypothsizes his lost civilization lived. White skin did not develop in evolution at that time. These people seem not even intelligent enough to know the development of humans. It's just the typical -isms they level at everyone they dislike to discredit them. I'm not even a Hancock fan but some of the treatment he receives is just wild.
Believing in conspiracies, mysterious agents or ancient civilisations controlling or guiding events just scratches an itch for some people. I think Michael Shermer's book The Believing Brain correctly diagnoses it. People need to believe in higher powers controlling events because it helps them make sense of chaotic events in the world.
Yes! Deep diving on JFK last year made me see so many conspiracies in a different light. People just can't accept that one worthless dumbass (Oswald) could stumble his way into changing the world. I went from thinking CIA did it to agreeing with the warren report. That process opened my eyes to how easily we can be fooled.
as someone who loves Hancock, absolutely there's an element of it being more exciting. I think it's possible to entertain the theory without throwing away common sense though and starting to propose (without any evidence) stuff like sound/vibration based technology for building the pyramids like Randall Carlson did, which was irresponsible imo.
@@neotokyo385 I find it hard to imagine there are many people who lack this excitement and inherently hate fantasy or science-fiction (what you could call playful pseudoscience). Especially if they’re curious and thoughtful about something. Like, I would imagine Flint could have heaps of fun playing some Call of Cthulhu TTRPG scenario based on a lost civilization concept, with alien technology, mythical monsters, etc. I’m curious if that’s true and what that says about the issue.
i’ve been wanting to watch his episode with Graham Hancock ever since it came out. i haven’t yet because i usually only have time to listen and not actually sit down and watch. this made me want to find time for it. i think Graham makes an interesting and compelling case, but i have no idea if he’s on to something or not. that’s why it’s so important that people like Flint Dibble go on to discuss it

Yep, the Dibble v. Hancock was actually exciting. Most of Rogan episodes the past ~5-10 years have been super mediocre. Used to have them on speed-dial, now I ignore it 97 % of the time unless there's an exceptional guest or theme.
Why would you stop listening?
It's a very revealing podcast. you can hear Hancock admit multiple times that he has no evidence for claim XYZ. Additionally he goes "I am not a scientist, I am journalist, I can make claims without a scientific basis to them"
lol
This might be my favorite bridges episode so far. Flint seems like such a cool dude to bullshit with over some beers and pick his brain. Love the way he actively listens and writes down important bits so he doesnt lose them too. He was seriously engaged during the whole convo. Will definately be checking out his podcast!
Love how he even dresses like an archaeologist
*like Indiana Jones
@@PixelPenguin77 that's one and the same for most people
@@JINX1441 wrong. Indiana Jones isn't a real archaeologist. He's a badass 1930s archaeologist. Just like Flint Dibble.
@@PixelPenguin77 hahaha
@@FlintDibble t-t-thanks. I feel so validated right now 😳And thank you for your service sir 🫡
I feel so defeated. I was one of the ones who fell for Graham Hancock's version of events. I was so interested. I watched all the Joe Rogan's and his Netflix special. I owe you, Flint. Thank you for helping me escape "the Matrix" sort of speak. Now I need to grieve the loss of what I thought was such an interesting theory.
More experts need to get out there and do the same as Flint. The public needs you to save us lay people from misinformation.
Thanks, I appreciate it! Better to find real archaeology late than never. Got a lot more coming on my channel soon
@@FlintDibble thank you! I'll be sure to watch out for it.
@@QualityQman oh and don't feel bad. That's the problem with misinformation. Without the right experience, people can't distinguish it
I feel for you dude. I had a similar experience when I read the seminal ancient aliens stuff (Chariots of the Gods and the 12th Planet) in the late eighties. I took the easy bait and became that guy. I feel fortunate that there was no internet/you tube in those days to feed my delusion. I ultimately studied some real science and talked to an astronomer and an Assyriologist, and got their perspectives on the claims made in these books. Anyhow, when, in the late '90s I picked up "Fingerprints of the Gods" I was bemused at the similar arguments that are used by Hancock to those deployed by Von Danniken and Sitchin. With my newly developed critical skepticism I was able to see through his self-deception. I do think Hancock truly believes some of his wild assertions. He just seems to have a low bar for credible evidence and he's more than willing to accept flimsy/ambiguous clues if they fit his narrative.
@@FlintDibbleIe the reason right-wingers absolutely HATE the idea of "fact checking"
Because they know their horseshit ideas cannot stand up to ANY level of scrutiny
Oh man! He's my hero after that debate. Hopefully this is a good and long episode. Guys like him you need to let them talk.
Thanks! It was a fantastic convo as you will see
@@FlintDibble Thanks for kicking ass! Long live your dad!
@@doublestarships646 hah, he is missed more than you can imagine! but i'm doing what i can to carry his legacy onwards
Yeah this dude is based.
@@FlintDibble Dude, I am 100% sure he is immensely proud of you. You slayed a dark dragon that infected a lot of minds and showed the light of truth in the darkness of ignorance. It's a victory you can hold onto proudly.
this guy genuinely looks like a chill dude to hang out with. my dad and i watch time team and it looks like hed fit right in. bridges bussin
The strong pulls for the guests on this podcast is incredible.
The best part of this whole episode was the very end where you gave him the chance to geek out about his favorite excavations. Hearing his excitement and enthusiasm talking about dog bones and walls is truly infectious. This is the kind of energy we need to combat the outrageous and fantastical claims made by someone like Hancock. There is so much to be learned from seemingly mundane places.
I love when destiny gets into fangirl mode and tries to ask 3 questions at once and validate what the guest said at the same time. It comes out as these beautiful impassionate Hodge podge sentences at 3 X speed.
This episode was an absolute blast, all 3 have great synergy.
Destiny the podcasts are getting so good. Really love the direction you’re heading. You and Erudite kill it in this format!

@@koinpusher What Milo? I see him on the schedule, but I don't know anything about him.
@@XavierKhrone Miniminuteman Milo. He's an archaeology dude. He's done some absolutely BANGER work debunking historical conspiracies and covering incredibly interesting histories that don't get enough airtime.
@@koinpusher Wait seriously?? how do you guys see the schedule.
Normally not one to drop a comment, but this was my favorite episode so far! It's so cool to hear an academic who is able to make the content digestible without losing too much of the complex info.
Flint really reminds me of the 1 or 2 gems I've had for teachers in my life. He really cares, and it's not because of some real concrete reason...he just really fucking loves teaching and communicating.
You will have a lasting positive influence on western culture through this forum. Please continue for all of our betterment. Godspeed Steven, Kyla, and the bridges staff.
This was one of the most interesting conversations. I really enjoyed the information on archeology and on handling misinformation/disinformation. Please keep it coming!
Flint. A straight up, real-life American hero.
I love Flint. We are lucky to have such a great communicator in the field of archaeology.
@@danielhamilton3496 thanks!

Great conversation as always guys. You're killing it
You should watch his debate with graham hancock.

The passion in Flint's voice is infectious. Love the episodes of the podcast with expert guests just talking about what they have expertise in with a little banter sprinkled in!
Now please do the exact same convo but with other fields to have them dispel common bullshit. Like biology/environmental science. Such a great episode!
Flint Dibble is the owner of the best JRE episode of all-time.
@@ryansiekert877 this
I love seeing these intellectually stimulating conversations and especially appreciate that they don't necessitate politically divisive talking points. The discussion and exploration of rhetoric in science, society, and academia is an absolutely fascinating subject. This ramifications of these forces in public discourse reaches a paramount point in the conversation around 2 hours in. Engaging all the way through, keep up the great work. This is truly rare and high quality content that I hope to see more of in your efforts moving forward. Cheers.
Hate to admit it, but a few years back I was definitely one of the guys who live graham Hancock, his early eps on rogan were really enjoyable. Assuming that he was qualified and educated to talk about ancient archeology, and societies.
It was only over the years actually looking into what he is spreading.
Flint dibble is the goat. Going onto rogan, knowing he’s probs gonna get overwhelming hate, still managed to show his great character and easily disprove just about everything Hancock has ever came out with hahahahaha
Still wrong, it was aliens all all along.
It's crazy how much faux truth rogan has allowed to be pumped out into brains by charlatans. He's a one man wrecking ball to reality.
@@raincadeifyeven things like exercise and working out you’d think Joe Rogan is knowledgeable in is riddled with bad information. He really is a hole of misinformation
You’re obviously very easily influenced
@@tcolley Or maybe the kind of person who continually updates and reevaluates their views is the thing we need, especially right now. The arrogance you're showing in your response to the op's honesty is at the root of why some people refuse to change even when the evidence is right in front of them: it's fear based. How will people judge me, how will my imagined status from being right be affected? Saying one is wrong and reversing direction takes courage and curiosity, and in the end, inspires trust.
I can’t wait to see who gets dibbled next. 😂 this guy was awesome.
hahahaha

Oh hell yeah Erudite keeps supplying us with 10/10 guests!!

Flint really is very captivating to listen to. Great podcast guys.
I wish I could like these Flint and Milo pods twice. This type of content gives me hope for the future of non-brain-rot internet.
Jesus I would prefer literally any other archeologist, this guy is a literal weasel hobbit who calls people racist if they disagree with him, just lazy smears and an annoying lollypop guild voice.
He's a smear campaign liar.
@wafflestomper6958 Yeh because you feel attacked that's why. He destroyed graham on joe rogan. And now your here calling him a weasel, that's all you have. Insults. You lost buddy 😅
@Ryan-eu3kp no, because literally any other archeologist would have been a better representative. They deliberately chose a weird little woke weasel to make Graham look better. Graham is woowoo as fuck and thinks the ancients used telekinesis to move megaliths, but there's no reason to call him racist for his wacky ideas, that's just lazy.
@@Ryan-eu3kp gay

Kudos to Flint. How he could stay so coherent and focused with those things staring at him for 2 hours ❤🎉
I could listen to this guy talk all day. I love archeology and Mr.Dibble’s passion for it is infectious.
Right on!
What a perfect guest for this podcast. This is what I tune in for!
What an incredible episode, you can tell he’s a good teacher because the way he speaks. Never blinked twice about archeology but now I’m quite interested
I love flint dibble. The type of person you just want to have a beer with around a campfire and listen to all they have to say.
Hell yea!
Never thought I'd be so interested in a chat like this but Flint was an amazing guest. Great episode.
Thanks!
I'd argue that archaeology is the most important field of study next to physics and cosmology, and Flint Dibble is doing a great job of popularising it.
Thanks daboooo
I admire your courage in debating Hancock. I was swayed by your arguments, especially the ice core evidence. Please understand that there were those who listened to your arguments objectively and appreciated your appearance.
@@JoeMancinik thanks Joe!
We listened. But we heard lack of evidence that Atlantis didnt exist. We heard a lot of we dont know from flint. Bad to hear an archeologist repeat he dont know something
@@kungfumaster12 lack of evidence that it didn't exist? The burden on proof is the person claiming it, if they haven't proven it their position is automatically unjustified. Prove to me that there wasn't an ancient civilization of crab people.
@BlankNames111 and we have the proof. Everyday archeologists find more proof that advance Civilizations existed before our industrial age. Slowly erasing the label of primitive Civilizations. And replacing it with advance ancient civilizations. Gobekli tepe is part of the proof Atlantis type civilizations existed. Smh
@BlankNames111 I can prove ancient crab people existed. Which disproves that they didn't. Apes aren't the only species that evolved into a humoid life. Notice how many civilizations have animal head humans as part of their belief system. 🤔 ferrebeekeeper.wordpress.com/2011/05/23/the-moche/
I can’t believe graham is even considered to be in the same category as flint, flint is the real deal and graham is one step above ancient aliens 👽. Love flint big time
Loving a dude who compulsively lies says a lot about you.
Flint is the BEST!
I cant wait!. been huge fan of Dibble since his debate on rogan
Thanks haha!
Flint's the man! My new favorite scholar.
Flint Dibble is a national treasure.
It was Graham Hancock and Randal Carlson on Joe Rogan that sent me down the rabbit hole of conspiracy theories and alt right media. So thankful for people like destiny and dibble not being afraid to confront bad ideas with reason.
Man, Randal carlson has really turned into a massive disappointment. He's gotten so cooky he's supporting some pretty ominous right conspiracy figures - I thunk the last time he was on rogan he kept bringing up a guy he wanted rogan to have on
Honoustly if that was enough to bring you down a rabbit hole of alt right media u probably shouldn't be on the internet.
@@Victorjvsrwe were all young once

@@CrossmoorMafia when was that?
Awesome episode and guest. Subscribed to flint, because this stuff is right up my alley!
Been looking forward to this for months, so glad to finally have it! This dude is great, really grateful for what he did on JRE.
On the Rogan, Hancock, Dribble debate, I went in complete on Graham Hancock’s side. Dribble destroyed but he did in a way that made man’s actual more fun and exciting. Hancock and Rogan both seemed fascinated by Dribble lesson on horde culture and the domestication of plants. Looking at things like man’s journey through the americas during the ice age fight saber tooth tigers, short faced bears and giant sloths. We don’t need Atlantis to make history interesting and Dribble did an amazing excellent job of demonstrating that to morons like me and Rogan
😂 Lol - I like the “morons like me” comment. Yeah, was a great show
@@willmosse3684 I proved that with my grammar and spelling lol
@@billycoo7916 As is exemplified by the fact that his name is Dibble, not Dribble. ^ ^
But, jokes aside, I'm so happy to see his approach was able to reach people.
I was lucky to grow up in a household where a lot of actual science was present, so I got innoculated early on, but I can still see the appeal of these pseudoarcheological ideas. There is so much mystery and awe connected to them.
I think topics like Atlantis or ancient advanced civilizations make for good stories. That's why I like Lovecraft and his peers. Robert E. Howard and Clark Ashton Smith have both written several stories about a pre-ice-age civilization.
So, that's the form I try to enjoy these ideas in: as fiction. And I invite you to do that too.
HOLY SHIT THEY GOT THE GOAT
hah, thanks Vrage!
@@FlintDibble I watched the entire debate. You cut through every insane claim. People should respect your/your industry's work.
@@MrVrage 100%
Tha dibble dribble
Really good job on this episode.
Sincerely enjoyed, the evolving setup is reaching peak podcast form, I've had zero complaints so far, whatever you're doing it works
I'm only 30 minutes in and already this is a huge help to me in my position. I'm not an academic, but I do guest lectures and other outreach initiatives at a university and am always looking for tips on engaging with people
These podcasts are incredible. Been gaining a lot of perspective from listening to the way other people think. Very cool.
As someone who always thought Hancock was a bit of a kook, and had no idea who Dibble was, I thoroughly enjoyed his time on Rogan. It was refreshing having someone spitting facts at Hancock and Rogan and watching them try to weasel around them. It made sense for Rogan who's a mouthbreather with no expertise in the subject, and I thought he was at least open minded with Flint's argumentation. Hancock just came off as delusional and defensive
Its really cool to hear an archaeologists go on my favourite streamers podcast to talk about archaeology, as someone who also studied archaeology :)
I heard your Joe Rogan podcast with you and Graham. You did great. As much as I love all of these stories about ancient Atlantis etc. the truth is the truth and you championed it well.
What an awesome conversation! Thank you all involved 🙏
erudite is a guardian angel who can help any person needing to become self aware find their way.
always the next step, senpai. thank you and sorry again.
Flint! I was so excited for your episode on Rogan and you absolutely killed it! I used to watch Rogan fairly regularly, but I just got so tired of people like Graham Hancock, Randle Carlson, Ben van Kerkwyk (UnchartedX), Jimmy Corsetti (Bright Insights) - just to name a few. I've always loved archeology and ancient history, and I get the allure of asking questions and challenging the status quo, but none of these people have ever spent a single second trying to approach their questions scientifically. It was refreshing to see you take this challenge head on and make a stand for scientific thinking on such a huge platform and against such a figurehead of that world.
Archeology is such a cool field because it intersects and relies on so many other fields, like genetics, biology/evolution, geology, meteorology, etc. People like Hancock start with some sort of fantastical narrative and work backwards, creating unfalsifiable claims and selectively interpreting data to suit their ideas. They simply don't understand how many different fields of science converge to help us paint a picture of the past (or if they do, they ignore it anyway).
Anyway, I've loved watching you and other archeology/history/science enthusiasts like Milo Rossi (Miniminuteman) and Dr. David Miano (World of Antiquity) build interest and support in actual archeology while helping to combat the surge of pseudoarcheology and pseudoscience generally.
I really enjoy listening to flint speak. You can really feel his genuine passion for it all. He’s lowkey a cutie in a way, if you see what I mean.
No idea who this guy is but after watching this, I'm definitely going to check out that Rogan episode. This was an incredibly engaging guest!
Flint Dibble rules !!!
Hell yea
Flint didn’t dabble into archeology he dibbled into it.
Damn. The crossover I never expect but pbly should have. This is amazing.
FANTASTIC podcast about critical thinking and methodology.
Commenting to add to the algorithm. Don’t stop this content
AMAZING episode! it’s been so long since i’ve enjoyed a conversation this much!
love what you’re doing here on bridges!
This was an insanely good episode. Thank you!
Best Bridges episode to date! Running to watch the Rogan episode now
Why is this guy the coolest person I have ever seen?
Cause he's based and not cringe 😁
Found your podcast through Flint. This was such a great conversation!
Never head of Flint Dibble and now I just want to listen to him tell stories for hours. Amazing guest.
I've worked as a part time math tutor for my whole undergraduate degree. Learning how to teach and impart information clearly and concisely is an incredibly useful skill. It's helped me communicate better in general, but especially if I ever have to efficiently deliver information to another person.
Great guest! Wow 3 hours? Let's go!
I'm really digging this podcast...i like destiny's ability to debate, how rationally he thinks, and his ability to apply a nuance approach to the conversation.
Flint is that teacher that everyone talked about after they left school.
Teachers are some of the most important people in a child's life and Flint carries that responsibility very well.
Ha! I'm a retired senior and I definitely love a good archeology slideshow!
Pop science is upstream from a lot of crazy stuff going on with social media, but pop science is downstream from actual science. I watched the Rogan debate, and Flint Dibble is one of the greats for just going, "No! I study this stuff, and that's just wrong."
I hope we're seeing the start of a trend of actual scientists engaging more with our online garbage fire. This episode was great, and you can see this is actually a brilliant dude just trying to combat the bs spreading like wildfire.
Really good episode. Was kind of hesitant after the Joe Rogan podcast thinking this was going to be another archeology deep dive but you guys tied this in relevancy very well. Keep doing what you are doing!
this is the only podcast i consistently watch, keep em coming, great guests every time :)
Flint, I used to be a Graham fan when I was much younger. I just enjoyed learning about archaeological sites themselves, nothing to due with his ancient civilization theory. It wasn't until later that I realized the harm in his theories and how he portrays the field of archaeology. Your debate performance was fantastic. It was the first JRE I listened to in years. One of the largest sticking points for me was that you disproved Graham's notion that 'mainstream archaeology doesn't want you to hear about this', which makes you question a lot of other things he says. I also notice similar rhetoric in a lot of other pseudoscience or conspiracies.
Flint is a hero. I'm studying archaeology in uni right now and watching his content this year has been a big part of my decision to do that. This was great! I'm usually not a huge fan of Destiny or Kyla but this was a good convo
Thanks so much!
@@FlintDibble Flint you are incredibly disingenuous. You clearly tried to tie Hancock to racism and are now weaseling out. Hugely disppointed with Destiny because he himself has made experiences with people like you but I'll chalk that up to his lack of interest in archeology.
@@EbonyPopeWell, yeah some of the sources Hancock uses are written by supremacists 🤷♀️ not sure why people find it so shocking that alt history was often written and perpetuated by supremacist ideology of the past. Graham tied himself to that. He could say “I’m totally not a racist, BUT… this source stating that the pre-deluvian Atlantean culture was white and that native brown people worldwide are inferior savages is a favorite of mine, for the scientific info it has. But I disagree with its conclusions and assumptions.” Then he might at least clarify why he’s using those types of sources. That’s up to Hancock if he wants to clarify some of his dodgy sources.
@@EbonyPope My comment was removed. I'll sum it up. What is inaccurate about tying Hancock to racism? His sources are racist.
@@raina4732 I know that. Mine get removed a lot too. Sometimes the algo doesn't like a specific word.
First of all name me Hancock's supposedly racist source. I would assume the only thing you'll ever find is that hyperdiffusionism is tied to Donnelly who was a very racist guy. But the theory of hyperdiffusion is older and was put forth by people who were the exact opposite of racists. It was Charles Etienne Brasseur de Bourbourg and Augustus Le Plongeon who thought that the Mayans were the descendants of Atlantis.
Hancock was always very clear who he thought his lost civilization was. He seems to believe that they stem somewhere from Africa. So it isn't white people like some people claim he thinks were the origin of that myth.
Second Hancock is known for defending and trying to preserve native culture everywhere and has a deep appreciation for it. To claim that Hancock even indirectly inspires racism would be like saying Gandhi was inspiring hatred and violence.
Also most people overlook a huge mistake they make with these claims. White people did not exist during the time Hancock hypothsizes his lost civilization lived. White skin did not develop in evolution at that time. These people seem not even intelligent enough to know the development of humans. It's just the typical -isms they level at everyone they dislike to discredit them. I'm not even a Hancock fan but some of the treatment he receives is just wild.
This was a really engaging conversation, love Flint's passion, if you see what I mean.
Love Flint but he's killing me with that phrase.
Believing in conspiracies, mysterious agents or ancient civilisations controlling or guiding events just scratches an itch for some people. I think Michael Shermer's book The Believing Brain correctly diagnoses it. People need to believe in higher powers controlling events because it helps them make sense of chaotic events in the world.
Yes! Deep diving on JFK last year made me see so many conspiracies in a different light. People just can't accept that one worthless dumbass (Oswald) could stumble his way into changing the world.
I went from thinking CIA did it to agreeing with the warren report. That process opened my eyes to how easily we can be fooled.
yea just like religion...
as someone who loves Hancock, absolutely there's an element of it being more exciting. I think it's possible to entertain the theory without throwing away common sense though and starting to propose (without any evidence) stuff like sound/vibration based technology for building the pyramids like Randall Carlson did, which was irresponsible imo.
@@neotokyo385 what did you think of the evidence for hunter gatherers Flint presented on Joe Rogan?
@@neotokyo385 I find it hard to imagine there are many people who lack this excitement and inherently hate fantasy or science-fiction (what you could call playful pseudoscience). Especially if they’re curious and thoughtful about something. Like, I would imagine Flint could have heaps of fun playing some Call of Cthulhu TTRPG scenario based on a lost civilization concept, with alien technology, mythical monsters, etc. I’m curious if that’s true and what that says about the issue.
THIS episode is it , not only a good ass conversation but incredibly informative keep these coming man shits good af 1:30:00
i’ve been wanting to watch his episode with Graham Hancock ever since it came out. i haven’t yet because i usually only have time to listen and not actually sit down and watch. this made me want to find time for it. i think Graham makes an interesting and compelling case, but i have no idea if he’s on to something or not. that’s why it’s so important that people like Flint Dibble go on to discuss it
Crazy how much better this podcast is than the other... Almost like this co-host is miles more competent than the other...
the other podcast is not made to be insightful. I do think it should take it self more seriously though
I love learning from someone who is so clearly passionate and in love with what he does. Very good episode!
