Yea evolution isnt even science!
Wearing a suit in the jungle is the most lex thing he does
Maybe it is half a suit and he is actually wearing shorts and sandals, i mean, you can’t really see, right ? 😊
Full dehydration kicking in from sweating, Lex: ''but how good do I look in this suit though'' lol
That looked excruciating...
I sweat, sitting still, in 60°F weather. 😅
It's an eastern European thing
Doing a podcast in the jungle is pretty amazing
Thanks to science, such a thing is possible!
@@heydudewhatsupTechnology lil bro
Amazingly cringe
Hypothesis, not theory. It is called the scientific method and it works if you understand the limitations. It is not a weakness to change ones mind based on newly uncovered information. The issue is that the media often present hypothesis as fact and the uninformed public get confused when a hypothesis is later proven to be incorrect and replaced by another possibly equally incorrect hypothesis but in any case more in line with newly discovered facts or information.
Yes! The fact that things are continuously updated as new information emerges gives credibility.
I think a larger problem is high status individuals in academia making certain hypotheses a core part of their identity (sometimes for personal gain, sometimes for the ego), and shutting down any outside perspectives/possible research on the subjects.
This!
And that's the problem with Hancock. Even he admits he penned his "species with amnesia" and lost civilization hypothesis without any evidence to support it.
Now he's trying to fit evidence into an idea that was based on literally no evidence.
@thisisme2681 and a lot of things Hancock argues against aren't even the current accepted theory.
Graham argues against the theories in "text books", which were written 80-100 years ago, not by an archaelogist, but by someone trying to sum up a part of history in a few short paragraphs to fit into a text book.
When graham says "mainstream archaelogy says/thinks this ....", he's arguing against what he theory was when the texts were written.
The accepted theory has evolved so much since those books. Archaelogist don't believe a lot of what graham says they believe.
Facial hair lex is the evolution we never knew we needed
Lex casually wearing a suit in a jungle doing a podcast...LEGENDARY!
Thats literally what science is it updates as knowledge accumulates
Exactly. But that fact confuses simple minds
Its so freaking annoying when people say "scienctists are always changing things". Yeah, that's the whole point! We dont just stop examinjng things because we have a good theory. We keep digging (no pun intended) and try to learn more and more.
@@Orgotheonemancult your just stating an opinion as fact using a bunch of word dribble
I think the issue is that scientists typically overvalue consensus (ie. Three studies got a p value of .05, case closed!) and undervalue hypotheses that have a low probability of success (no point in looking there, there's only a 1% chance this is correct!)
A lot of knowledge is purposefully buried
It's almost like science adjusts when new evidence is presented. Wild!
Mind blown. I too had always thought it was just Them mercurially changing Their minds because that's how you get all the fame and power and be like the long illustrious line of academic archeologists celebrated on late night TV.
Ya but y'all admit things can change at any moment with new evidence only when it's convenient. When the wrong person shows even the smallest bit of skepticism of something, the same people that admit it, will chop your head off for even thinking the wrong thought. "This is established science!! I learned this in elementary school!! You're a mo ron!!!". How dare you say it's not 100% correct!". Something shows it is in fact not 100% correct. Then it goes back to "this is how science works! Of course it could have been wrong all along and now we know better! Science works!".
No one would have an issue if these ideas weren’t presented as facts not to be challenged or in Hancock’s case be branded a racist for having alternative ideas.
@@29memyselfandihe isn’t branded a racist but he does use explicitly racist sources and promotes theories with explicitly racist origins.
@@rickhunter1454 Good man- you’ve just branded him a racist. Like I said.
“What happened to the Egyptians” homie they had 3 kingdoms that all fell with increasingly well documented reasons as to why all the way up to the Ptolemaic period.
Bro, they flew away with pyramid shaped spaceships powered by ancient chanting techniques.
@@neubtuber interstellar supreme beings capable of unimaginable technologies came to earth to help an inbred guy build a tomb.
Those documented reasons only go back to a certain period... not prior... it has now been theorised that there was a pre-dynastic Egyptian period and society that goes back thousands and thousands of years prior. They have lied to us about the age of these monuments and the society that created them.

That didn’t even explore the discussion on Rogan. Clickbait
So you didn't get past the first 1:50 ?
Where did the Egyptians go? They’re in Egypt dude.
😂
They're Arabs not Egyptians in Egypt, like saying Americans are Native Americans
@@schmitz4206 Unless you're stating that ancient Egypt is over 125,000 years old and therefore are a direct descendant from non-African migrants, you're blowing smoke. You can easily figure this out with a simple Google search around the genetic make-up of ancient and modern Egyptians.
Alexander the Great conquered Egypt, and then the Romans finished them off.
@@jazzyb4656they both preserved their society, way of life and state functionings. Only an idiot would have actually destroyed their society and way of life because they were happy to give the grain (why Egypt was important), if left alone.
But the Islamic conquests did destroy them 😅 cos they’re not a bright bunch and Egypt had been third world ever since
Lex casually wearing a suit.
Can't have pants on, tho
Sweating his ASS off lol
Yeah. He's a double agent, working with cia
He literally wears a suit everyday, and every podcast.
If by casual you mean developing one of the most profound cases of swamp ass he's every had, yea
you know ... there is space between knowing nothing and knowing everything. someone who jumps between both these ends has no ability to discern anything.
They keep.updating it. Yeah... its called science.
It’s not called science. It’s archaeology
It’s called history, updated due to scientific discoveries
So you’re saying its likely the current science needs to be updated. Gotcha

@@nunya2076”New Evidence” is what determines whether paradigm-shifting hypotheses are mocked or taken seriously. Graham literally has not one piece of evidence for his, and he acknowledges that fact in the debate.
It’s the perfect grift. He can claim his ideas are being silenced because no one wants to give him funding for a wild goose chase, acknowledge he has no evidence but claim they’d find the evidence to support his hypothesis if they only gave him the funding.
"It's always changing" is the very essence of Science. Thinking it is bad when Science updates something is a fundamental misunderstanding of what Science is.
I bet you were real quiet when "the science was settled" XD
PLEASE LIKE SO LEX CAN SEE:
Lex, it’d be really nice if you could from now on post these types of videos with the timestamp of this section in relation to the whole podcast, it would be great to have the before and after context of your clips when people have more than 5 mins but less than 4 hours, I’m working my way through the whole thing when I have time though I do miss some parts as I’m working while listening, hope you see this, love you man.
This was filmed on the Survivor judgement set?
So this guy thinks changing what we think happened when new evidence comes to light is a bad thing? Mkay.
I think the point is that the ideas are sold as solid truth, rather than what we "think" to be true based on the current evidence.
@@josephcassini959 Nah, his brain just interprets change that way because he's not very bright.
@@that_hereticactually, nah. This is the unavoidable human "problem" of dogma and politicization, manifest through archeology. It's the same as demonizing fat and salt, even eggs, for decades, only to have "new information" show that it was fundamentally wrong. That's a real problem for everything that happened between "discoveries" (or corruptions), not just "ooo we learned new stuff"... That's not how science works, and it's a stupid argument hiding behind all the intelligences each scientific facet might entail. Science itself is an amazing technology, but much more limited than most understand.
The problem comes with who says evidence is evidence and who does not. Covid was a perfect example. There was new evidence all the time but we were made to believe that only approved new evidence was acceptable no matter how scientific the non acceptable evidence was.
@@joshuaklimkowski9744 nailed it
I like the part where they talked about the debate.
wonder if lex is doing the anchor man fit with shorts on right now
I certainly hope so.
What are you talking about he's neked from the waist down
100% !!!
He misrepresents the 'the Amazon was engineered by people' theory. The theory is that parts of the Amazon were either clear or cleared for agriculture and habitation. After local societal collapse, the groves and fields that were planted expanded and overtook the clear or cleared land and that is what took over, the crop plants, not the surrounding jungle.
To be fair, he never really elaborates on what he means about the theory. He was just using it as an example of how historical knowledge can be used to inform current political sentiment. I deeply wish he did elaborate more on this theory.
It can happen. Having crops that have been cultivated for generations for disease resistance, growth rates, etc will quickly take over. Grape vines my grandmother planted decades ago at the house I live at have overgrown the woodline in my area. We underestimate how rapidly nature changes the environment. Everything is so dynamic.
recently lidar has shown a vast ancient highway system connecting much of the amazon and the estimates of its population went from several million to well over 60 million, so hes not misrepresenting it imo
Lex, you should keep that 5 o'clock shadow - it looks good on you.
The most poignant points made in the debate weren’t investigated enough and the most trivial facts were continuously reiterated. The sphinx water erosion deserved 1 of the 4 hours of that debate but was mostly just stuffed away because you can’t talk geology with an archaeologist, when geology is more pure as a science
This is so true, I was really hoping they would delve more into how the amazon was engineered by people. It reminded me of how the native americans were a foundational species and cultivated the great plains for thousands of years, bringing bison and a plethora of other animals to the area. Only to be completely destroyed by "more advanced" western farming practices that resulted in the great dust bowl of the 1930's.
@@goobyboxxton8526the westerners were more advanced. Beta society got crushed by alpha society. You big sad?
@@BuddyStephenson Lol, well I will always appreciate those of us who choose to live under bridges in our modern society. I put "more advanced" in quotes exactly for this reason. Although it can be argued that western farming practices of the 1930's were more advanced at that time than native ones, there was still an ecological collapse that happened when those practices were introduced. Today modern science is beginning to learn the wisdom our ancestors possessed. But the loss of this knowledge is just another casualty of societies thinking they are superior to others. I wonder what other knowledge was lost when indigenous people of the amazon were conquered.
I’m trying to figure out how they managed to mute the sounds of the rainforest. I was under the impression that the rainforest was loud constantly
The microphones they are using don’t pick up sounds that far away. It’s also why they have to speak so close to them.
oh so they are actually in a rainforest lol. i thought it was just a set, i don't tune in to often
based on the thumbnail I thought it was Lex and Serj Tankian discussing JRE for some reason
Lex and Paul this was the best thing I've watched since 2018. Great content 😁👍👍. I laughed, I cried and was eye locked from start to finish ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Why is lex wearing a suit in the amazon? He is sweating to death.
😂
That’s the joke. He always wears his suit even in the jungle. The other guy thought it would be funny and it certainly is
Autism
Continuity!
😂
The most important part of that entire debate was how scummy Hancock was treated through character assassination.
That's the best episode, night in the middle of the jungle!
I was wondering what was the change in environment. Bro literally in the jungle rn wearing a suit 😂
What if Easter island had a supply chain disruption… they had to have logistics in place with a host nation. Perhaps a supply chain break due to war, natural disaster, famine and disease on mainland….
"what if"... "Had to have"... "Perhaps", I get you're just having fun with the idea but I'm gonna use yah to go off a bit here. People need to realize real life isn't just fan fiction and you can't do more than come up with your own theories based on spurious evidence and claim to be an "independent thinker". People did and do the same thing in medicine and racial attributes and we have no problem labeling them as dummies when what they claim is objectively defied by reality, yet something about archaeology just for whatever reason attracts people to spit ball and parrot their favorite ideas when people make their life work about this stuff out there for you to read. It is easier to just throw all this work out by equating it to organized religion manifesting in academic works and deny yourself the hard work it takes to learn exactly where the precipus of our knowledge goes about the subject and make your determination from there.
Suit in a jungle is insane
Lex wearing his suit in the middle of the jungle is one of the coolest things ever.
I think we under estimate the knowledge of ancient people, but not the technology. Knowledge comes first before technology can be made from it. So it makes sense if ancient people were able to make giant pyramids, they had great knowledge. Imagine the knowledge we would need in modern times to make the pyramids. Most likely only possible maybe 100-200 years ago, certainly not before the industrial age. At that time, we knew the basic structure of the solar system, calculus was relatively new, and all continents were discovered. I think it’s safe to assume the ancients had a pretty good grasp on those things too.
I agree but it is concerning that rational questions are met with emotional responses in something as important as our past. Archaeological findings from any time in history should be able to withstand scrutiny if they are indeed to be believed.
The great pyramids are amazing. But much of that is simply the scale.
Go look at St Peter’s Basilica or the Hagia Sophia and say they couldn’t build the pyramids given the inclination.
loved this guy in system of a down
It is wild that in the hundreds and even thousands of years of written language that we don't even keep family genealogies and notes.
"get me on Letterman..."
Imagine the modern world with all the fancy gadgets without electricity
Why the suit?
--
It's the Blues Brothers thematic, Lex is Elwood's illegitimate son and carries on the mission.
True facts 🖖
so what's the new theory on easter island then?
It’s not that they can be wrong, of course they can. It’s that they try to destroy people that have alternative theories
A student of Albert Einstein's once said to his professor,
“These are the same questions you asked on last year's test. Nothing has changed.”
Einstein answered, “True enough, all the questions are the same; but this year, the answers are different.”
When I see and think of archeologists I think of scuttle from little mermaid (OG)
They didn't really change on Easter island.
Got to love Lex's committent to wearing a suit for the podcast even when he is in the jungle.
This is how science works!! The puzzle keeps getting more complete as additional pieces are found. Of course the shit you learned from school years is different from today’s knowledge.
It’s crazy when a scientists ideas change once new evidence is presented. I guess that’s the good thing about there being constant research in archaeology everyday across the world
I tried watching the debate and I after about half an hour I quit because it was just an insult fest and “I’m better than you” back and forth which turned what should have been a step forward but in my opinion just was a wasted opportunity
Having "little" is precisely the problem. Archeology needs a theoretical branch of study, something that would legitimize speculation. But the people who control the entire enterprise don't want that. They're far too in love with the power they wield by maintaining the highest artificial standards, with the smallest amount of information. They're like government workers, and they don't want to rock the boat.
Paul's point about new theories popping up every few years is built into academia. If you need to progress your career, you need to come up with original research or a new angle on a problem - this remains the case even if we already have very strong theories already.
"Where did the Egyptians go?" Seriously? It's pretty well documented bro. Macedonia 332 BC.
Hats off to @lex for wearing that suit!! Stayed true to the game!! 🙌🏽

Flint Dibble is the most cartoonish real name I've ever heard.
Everyone owes it themselves to learn at least about their grandparent’s grandparents if the resources are there. But humans just really don’t know or care about what came before the present moment
If real scientific discoveries change what the common conception of a particular field is every few years, that is a GOOD thing. It means there is more understanding and more progress toward a 'complete' understanding. That is the persuit of science. Don't be downtrodden with the notion of: "every few years 'they' change the explanation of . This is a good thing.
Today we understand more than yesterday.
Did i just enter a swet lodge?
That question, “where did the Egyptians go” is such a fascination of mine. I’m not a Christian, but I wonder how much of the Bible is an interpretation of the truth. The story of Moses makes sense to some degree of “where did the Egyptians go”. What if the Hebrew slaves really did revolt, went to the promise land (Israel?) and took all their trade skills & knowledge with them meanwhile Egyptians who depended on slavery too much had to start over?
Lex looks fresh with the beard
Lex is on Survivor?
Hahaha!! Top comment!
the snout of that guy is incredible
My boy lex is sweating up a storm. Cool to see the new features of this robot model. So realistic.
This guy doesn't even understand Graham Hancock's position. Hancock has never stated "because the amazon jungle was cultivated by humans, we should tear it down for farms" his position is the exact opposite. He says the amazon should be protected because of how unique and important it is.
with the beard and the lighting this video looks like I asked an AI to generate Lex having a conversation inside the Elder Scrolls IV Oblivion lol
Well shoot, just a glancing reference to the Hancock debate.
The people who came up with the "out of Africa" hypothesis almost immediately walked it back.
The latest thing in science is to make everything about climate change. There are definitely fans in science.
Isn't all Archeology just best guessing? Without solid proof Archeology could just be another mythos or faith we like and pass along.
I feel dehydrated just watching this 😂
Lex has tons of the same suit
a bad historian tells you what happened in the past, a good historian tells you what he and most people believe happened in the past.
Its supposed to change constantly. Thats what science is. Changing the outcome based on data. Do you want us to just lie so that you feel more comfortable in its not changing? Its like dealing with children
Exactly the answer. Science is our current understand based on the facts we have right now and open to change when new facts come forward.
exactly, the idea i always have is that nothing is permanent, it will take our entire existence (as a human race) to understand maybe 50% of reality. that is what is so hard to deal with and grasp for me personally.
The thing in archeology, which is the bottom line topic of this very short clip, is that some people tend to overstretch the outcome based on very little data. Some times there is a dishonesty underlying the eagernes to claim certainty based on a few data points and a lot of narrative layered on top; that is what's being "criticized" here.
It's like dealing with teenager arrogance.
@@JanoDothats just 100% bullshit. Its the same crap scam artists like Hancock spew. If anything its the exact opposite. Archaeologist are very very conservative with their conclusions and tend to avoid saying anything is for certain. You will always hear them say things like "this is our current understanding" to underscore how tenuous things are.
Lex channeling his inner Jack Shepard
2:36 wait till you have that ayahuasca trip lex 😂
Yes Letterman was full of archaeologists and historians. 😂
Get billy carson and Terrence Howard on. We got everything wrong
For such an esteemed naturalist he seems to have a very poor grasp on the idea that as evidence is found and research techniques evolves, so would hypotheses and theories to support them.
I enjoy the "pseudo arch" stuff and went out of my way to expose myself to the other side of that.... The mainstream people have more extreme views and conspiracies about things than the pseudo side does.
Lex is a delight to watch ..
For reference points: 1)Hancock majored in Sociology (same as auto-mechanic talking about Neuroscience); 2)There are no records that Dibble went to college/university ----->So yeah these two are basically tin-foil hat theorists which is very common on Joe Rogan. (Apart from the mushroom guy that guy is actually legit)
Oh, brother… Here we go again. Only people who went to school for X, can have valid opinions.
Imagine thinking its not possible to destroy the environment you live in.
That debate was a mess. Flint's poor social behavior totally overshadowed his obvious mastery and understanding of science and archaeology and Graham's guilt tripping and charm did nothing to discredit Flint except on character alone. Graham has a hard time proving his finding past the phrase "just look at it, does that look natural?!" That is not science , Graham, you're just a story teller.
Science is the art of questioning, challenging, and understanding reality. Graham is definitely partaking in science. Flint is as well, but Flint is obviously limiting his view by sticking to the current secular consensus like bugs on a glue trap, stubbornly. When he compared Graham to the Nazis, I immediately stopped caring about what he had to say.

While simultaenously keeping the population high enough to maintain such a work force. How does baron desert provide such resources? What if the pyramids were built when it was lush and green, properous land with lots of life.
Grahams theory makes way more sense to me plus he’s done so much field research on top of all the books he studied but didn’t just mindlessly repeat the mainstream narrative dibble just repeated what he was taught in school and did no research of his own that’s why he had to start calling graham racist on social media to save face but it backfired because we all know if you call someone a stinky poo poo head in a debate your losing the debate
Human beings tend to be averse to change, which explains why the development of AI and new discoveries/theories that challenge our existing understanding of the world often face resistance. The notion that our long-held beliefs about human origins might be revised can be particularly difficult to accept. This phenomenon is not unique to our time; historical examples, such as the initial backlash against the idea that the Earth is round, demonstrate that people have always been hesitant to embrace new ideas and perspectives. It's simply a matter of human nature resisting a significant shift in thinking. (Flat earthers don't come for me, it was just an example)
He keeps saying he’s “confused” & doesn’t like change in how history is being told but that’s how it’s always been that’s why you have to keep digging then maybe one day we find truth & can start to advance as a species but who knows 🤷🏽♂️
Every time I hear about these uncontacted cannibal tribes he stumbles into I can't help but think of it as him pestering and harassing these tribes that in all likelihood want to be left alone
Keep the beard, Lex.
A lot of these comments seem to miss the fact that archeology STATES things. It feels like they write a book with "hypothetically" at the beginning and by the 300th page You've forgotten that.
It's a very arrogant field. All these comments saying it changes, but the field isn't open to change. The scientists in the field laughed a researcher out of the room for suggesting that people were in North America far before the general consensus. They essentially ruined the guys career...oh, but then he was right. It's a weak field that lacks science, maybe 30% science with 70% speculation.
This guy doesn’t seem to know how science works. Old theories are replaced by more plausible ones. There is no mystery to it. Just good old inquiry.
Science is about finding new models, new explanations according to new evidences found etc. So yes things evolve. Theories evolve. He makes it looks like it’s some kind of conspiracy or that archeologists are just randomly guessing…always the same kinda speech…
