    Note: Have not watched this yet, though I saw it also posted on r/videos. There was a comment there from a (alleged) academic, who recommended other youtube channels that took a more nuanced and empathetic perspective on the issue.

    Since I haven't watched the video yet, but do intend to do so, I just want to repeat that I'm not calling the posted video bad. I'm literally just parrotting a reddit comment.

      To add another link from that thread, Milo Rossi's series (which is about Hancock's Ancient Apocalypse rather than the Rogan episode) is also quite good -- he's less chill than these two, but that's probably due to his age and the different target audience he has as a result. He is genuine knowledgeable and has collaborated with Stefan Milo in the past.

    It’s funny that the ad I got served was pseudoscientific in the way he described. It was an herbal supplement for constipation that argues backward to conclude that “stuck poop” is not relieved by more hydration and fiber, but rather such methods only serve to increase the bulk of “stuck poop.” Their solution? An herbal supplement that truly “unsticks” the poop. It contains inulin, sometimes marketed as a laxative.
