Joe Is
Wrong
About
Bigfoot
This book sheds light on why he's mistaken
and what you can learn from it.
"If you only read the books that everyone else is reading,
you can only think what everyone else it thinking."
- Haruki Murakami
Joe Rogan is a master of standup but he hasn’t cornered the market on comedy. The rest of us are pretty funny too. We hear something once, so we think we understand it. We believe we know, when we don't. That's hilarious.
This book is a deep-dive into the power of hubris and our correcting superpower of humility.
Humility is an asset. While hubris is more than a liability, it’s dangerous. Our lives expand with one and reliably shrink with it's opposite. And, where Bigfoot is concerned, whatever our hubris misses gets consumed by cognitive dissonance.
Such is the story of the Bigfoot phenomena. (Sasquatch to some).
Joe may accuracy check much of what comes out of his mouth.
He's one of the most curious people in pop culture.
He's right about a lot.
But dude's wrong about Sasquatch. Even if he wasn’t, the rationale for why he thinks Bigfoot's a load of shit is single-ply thin.
His conclusion?: “They saw a bear.”
Rogan's reasoning is logical and disconnected from the subject. His opinion zags from the theme most experiencers zig toward. He once stated to a JRE guest: "You know who doesn't see Bigfoot? Hunters." (To be fair to Mr. Rogan, what he likely meant was 'Hunters he hunts with.')
Hunters report experiencing these beings more than any occupation or nature enthusiast. More than truckers. More than anglers. More than backcountry hikers. Even more than loggers.
Joe's talking out of his overly muscular posterior.
So how did he arrive here?
Hubris. Joe rushed for proof, instead of looking at evidence. He researched what he researched and missed some massive chunks of research. He just doesn't know it.
We all do this. But Joe's perspective is something -- and someone -- we can all easily relate to, so we'll roll with his example.
Dude’s one YouTube search on his way to a 5% happier life. Instead he chooses to be right. (We all do this, too.)
This is the liability of hubris. His days remain 1/20th less fulfilled because he believes he already has the answer.
This book, 'Joe Rogan Versus Bigfoot', goes where the world's most popular podcaster hasn't. (Or maybe won't.) The intention is to make him a bit happier for the rest of his life.
By exploring additional human behaviors like shaming, ridicule and self-censoring we get to see how quickly we'll discount a fellow human's life experience. No matter how vividly they express it. In addition to that, we’ll also examine our modern intolerance of mystery. By identifying these human dynamics, some overlooked historical documentation creates radical new possibilities. Including a printed government admission of these forest people. Yup. The feds know of them. (Native Americans know about them. The book goes deeper into this centuries-long connection).
This isn't a book about Bigfoot. Or Joe. It's an examination of the very human reasons we refuse to consider phenomenon that tens of thousands of our fellow men and woman know in their rattled nervous systems to be real.
By the last page, you won’t believe 'Harry and the Hendersons' was a documentary. You might not believe in Bigfoot either. But something profound will happen. You’ll be more aware of how readily we discount the possible, to blindly worship the status quo. This is a priceless lesson.
The last three years have revealed how governments, scientists and media aren't just wrong sometimes, they mislead and lie. In some cases for decades.
UFO’s are now real. Which should remind us that they weren’t legit a decade ago. So what changed?
They were wrong.
They mislead.
They lied.
The fascinating subject of Sasquatch is a reminder we're one press conference away from this subject being publicly legitimized.
If you've never looked into it, this short book does it for you. It summarizes and reveals the game-changing context Joe missed. More than a book about North America's Mountain Mythical, reading this will nudge your curiosity and shift your worldview.
Only a fraction of our fellow humans experience this phenomena but it affects us all. Just because it hasn't, doesn't mean it won't. That's not suggesting you might see one of these beings. You won't. But whether you're an outdoors enthusiast or a committed urbanite, this book will wake a part of your mind you didn’t know was asleep.
If you have 75 minutes and can skip an espresso and scone at the coffee shop this week, you're invited to dive into this honest, wide-ranging and ultimately illuminating experience of our amazing minds.
Not only will you never look at the woods the same, you'll see yourself in a new light.
