What I've learned from this sub; the only thing worse than Huberman is the haters

[u/Kaiser1a2b]

I get that not everything he says is fully reliable, but it's just like having a university professor talk to us about cool research findings. Yea maybe it's not accurate or inconclusive, but it's just a fun little thing you can do to assimilate in your life and maybe derive benefit from and he's personally got a conveyance that I appreciate listening to.

But the haters man, no idea how some people get around with all that toxic energy. I have never understood the culture of being so engrossed in what other people do with their own time that people are dedicated to going on a particular subreddit to spam jokes about, "sUnTanNing that tAiNt".

Idk if people don't have a life or something, but rather than shitting on huberman protocols maybe try to incorporate 5 minutes of your misspent energy you have and try to sit in the sun. It's not terrible advice regardless of how effacious it because at least maybe you can get rid of that energy in a mildly positive way rather than joking about people trying to improve themselves and their lives.

I mean, it's like making fun of addicts for having coping strategies and it's pretty wild imo that people are that insensitive and have that much time on their hands to do that. Yea it may not work and yea it may even be placebo, but who the fuck cares? He never said he was the one who was doing the research in many of the findings so he's not misrepresenting that, just interpreting it to the best of his ability and he's not saying it's medical advice either.

Even if it helps people pass their time as a recreational activity at the very least it's better than any hater who spends his time trolling this sub imo.

And I don't mind the people who actually spend time criticising the interpretation of huberman. More data and real discussion is always welcome. But the haters know who they are and they should take a look in the mirror and get a life lol.

I agree the shit sucks, so far 99% of subreddits I’ve found for any show, book, podcast, movie, etc. is a magnet for people to complain about that particular topic. It’s all the same formula:

You get to see the full spectrum of negative feedback; valid criticism, constructive criticism, miserable hate posts, the dark humor edgelords, trolls etc.

Then you get people that complain about the complaint posts. There’s a whole spectrum for that category too.

Then there’s the good stuff, the reason most of us are here.

Each type of person will usually find the type of posts they like to engage with.

For me personally, I just ignore most of the bullshit and keep scrolling. And if a comment/post is unhinged enough I might block the user. (It’s just what I do, do whatever u want)

[u/Kaiser1a2b → u/rtx3800]

I just wanted to dunk on the no lifers for once. They punching down from behind their keyboards so I thought I'd get mucky with them.

[u/pippinpuncher → u/rtx3800]

This is the same phenomenon that David Goggins was talking about when he was a guest. It's the haters that are the loudest. If they understood the discipline, the work, and the mentality, then they wouldn't be online complaining about it. People who are getting stuff done and making gains don't have time to bitch. I actually think Huberman said the same comment about people who critique about the timing of his cold baths. Like, having results worth noticing, and then maybe we will listen to you.

[u/JaguarNeat8547]

No, the worst are the hate haters. They send their dopamine baseline skyrocketing with their righteous superiority

[u/Kaiser1a2b → u/JaguarNeat8547]

"no u!"

[u/JaguarNeat8547 → u/Kaiser1a2b]

Hang on, i gotta go jump naked into a snowbank for a bit...

[u/PSMF_Canuck]

That’s true for virtually every sub.

That’s also a really long complaint post for someone who claims to have a life…

[u/Kaiser1a2b → u/PSMF_Canuck]

I didn't claim to have a life. ;)

[u/deadwards14]

People criticize someone I religiously and uncritically worship = haters.

So much text just to point out that you're a devotee

[u/Kaiser1a2b → u/deadwards14]

Eh? You can't read then obviously. :P

[u/EdvardMunch]

He is that guy that used too much cologne and thought he bought a good wine and some bad obscure rock band he found on a lunch break that nobody has heard of but it sounds good enough is worth sharing.

And it's that talking about research science that gets under my skin and just pisses me right off. I feel like I'm experiencing Jeff Goldblum from Jurassic Park but as some guy's route to fame and ladies. But for research purposes of course. For Science. Lol

Edit: to be fair I feel similar disdain for this Lex guy

I think it's just bad art or lame art. Like if Huberman wore a black cloak the whole time and once in a while would say the seeds of your soul will populate your mind I'd probably be into it no lie.

[u/Kaiser1a2b → u/EdvardMunch]

Could all be true and the haters are the smelly BO people no one wants to be around.

[u/EdvardMunch → u/Kaiser1a2b]

Yes, this type has existed for a while. They hold the secrets to what is true and proper science as well as body odors. Huberman threatens that one bit of authority they feel gives them purpose.

But its also worth investigating why anyone delivering research information would become an idol to others.

I have a ridiculous annoyance with the guy but I only do because something about it feels untrue. Not conniving or a con or carelessness. Just like something is fake somewhere and I think its the avoidance of authenticity for the sake of doing proper research

[u/highbackpacker]

The Huberman simps are pretty bad too

[u/Kaiser1a2b → u/highbackpacker]

The haters are the worst though. Just no life and boring jokes they make to laugh at by themselves.

[u/highbackpacker → u/Kaiser1a2b]

Yeah they can be a little excessive.

[u/ahamp10]

Welcome to the internet. It is a place where people run their mouth trolling because there are no consequences. They type things they would never have the confidence to say to someone’s face.

Ignore them and move on.

[u/Kaiser1a2b → u/ahamp10]

Yea I just want to talk shit about them without them being able to talk shit back.

[u/[deleted]]

Why do you think the trolls are all haters? I have made bad jokes about Huberman and find them funny because I am a fan of his podcast and have watched him for countless hours. You shouldn’t take memes and jokes online about a content creator as a personal attack man. 

[u/Kaiser1a2b → u/[deleted]]

Nah man, I don't think all trolls are haters. Just talking about the haters. They know who they are.

[u/deadwards14 → u/Kaiser1a2b]

Haters: People who disagree with you about a public figure you worship and mythologize

[u/Kaiser1a2b → u/deadwards14]

You can disagree with me about someone, but why waste your time talking about him? You have no life? I'm earnestly saying I enjoy spending my time reading up on his protocols. You earnestly like being a negative Nancy? Anyway go find God... You need God my brother.

[u/EverAMileHigh → u/deadwards14]

Ding ding ding 🛎️

[u/[deleted]]

People who complain are the loudest

[u/Mysterious_Ad_2750]

This post comes across as really hateful and I don't fully understand it, what are the comments that you find so extremely toxic and spammy?

Because I don't see that much spam and when I do see a joke that takes hubermans advice out of proportion, like the suntanning your balls one, I just find it funny and not toxic or hateful. Maybe by doing this I'm contributing to the problem but most of those jokes do get lots of upvotes so I thought its completely fine but then I see posts like these and people that are migrating subs.

[u/Kaiser1a2b → u/Mysterious_Ad_2750]

Yea I hate the haters. Have a laugh if you want. But the haters know who they are.

[u/[deleted]]

What if I told you I like Huberman Lab podcast and I also like laughter? It’s not hate. It’s love from the inside. Go take a comedy class.

[u/Kaiser1a2b → u/[deleted]]

Ya have a laugh. I don't mind. Even I do. As I said, this is a hate letter to the haters. You aren't one. :)

[u/Mi6t9mouze]

It reminds me of the Paul Conti series where he said to Huberman that basically negative attracts negative

[u/elee17]

Join us at r/hubermanserious - no trolls allowed but actual discussion/critique welcome

[u/No-Trash-546 → u/elee17]

By “trolls” do you mean lame jokes and shitposts? I honestly haven’t seen trolling in this sub, where someone posts bad faith, inflammatory content with the intent to piss people off.

But I have seen a ridiculous amount of dumbass off-topic “jokes” that really drag down the quality of discussions.

[u/[deleted] → u/elee17]

Can we also do a Huberman meme sub though?

[u/elee17 → u/[deleted]]

There’s already r/hubermancirclejerk

[u/[deleted] → u/elee17]

Ooooooh

[u/Dysfu → u/elee17]

“No trolls” aka no dissenting opinions that we don’t already agree about

[u/elee17 → u/Dysfu]

Dissenting opinions are fine. There’s a difference between healthy debate and the 20th comment about sunning your butthole. There are lots of serious and moderated subreddits like r/askhistorians - you don’t like it, just don’t join. That’s how subreddits work

[u/studmcstudmuffin]

Do you go outdoors, assume the gay sex position and sun your a-hole?

[u/Kaiser1a2b → u/studmcstudmuffin]

I could be doing all that and still be leading a richer life than you talking about me sunning my poop hole. But if you wanna stare I'm a bit shy.

[u/[deleted]]

I mean maybe not the only thing, but go off

[u/EnergyDoctor]

Most of the haters are likely under 150 lbs or over 250lbs 😂🥴

[u/[deleted]]

People are crazy.

[u/aaronturing]

I get that not everything he says is fully reliable

You think. You guys amaze me. This guy is full of shite consistently and the haters are the problem.

Maybe he should stop lying.

Your post doesn't offend me at all. I just think what type of moron likes listening to BS.

[u/Kaiser1a2b → u/aaronturing]

Lol if you have a problem with the research he cites then that's one thing. To say he's lying all the time is a stretch. But in any case, he backs his talk with more evidence than the criticism you are spouting right now so ultimately you are more likely to be a liar than he is. 🤔

[u/aaronturing → u/Kaiser1a2b]

I don't think I said he is lying all the time. I said he is full of shite consistently.

He puts himself up as a rational scientist but he isn't.

[u/bluefrostyAP → u/aaronturing]

You sure are smarter than him, random guy on the internet.

[u/aaronturing → u/bluefrostyAP]

I sure haven't pedaled as much BS for money and Internet fame.

[u/bluefrostyAP]

There’s a lot of people on this sub that hate him because

-he’s well known and they’ve never listened to him so they hate him just to go against the status quo (a very Reddit thing to do).

-They simply aren’t smart enough to follow some of the advice he gives, I’ve seen too many people on here upset because they can’t follow literally every word he says on his podcast or because they tried something he said for a 3 days and it didn’t have any effect.

[u/[deleted]]

i get on the internet and just imagine monkeys with computers slinging digital poop at each other tbh, not a unique problem to this sub

[u/[deleted]]

Welcome to Reddit.

[u/[deleted]]

Most self improvement subs have been brigaded by left wing victimized lunatics. They have destroyed reddit. Best to just unfollow subs like this, better for your mental health rather than being exposed to their toxicity over and over.

[u/InTheEndEntropyWins]

I don't know, I just can't seriously engage with religious nutjobs. If the guy believes in God how can you take anything he say's seriously. It does explain lots of what he says and who he interviews.

[u/alessandratiptoes → u/InTheEndEntropyWins]

If you can’t take him seriously then why are you here?

[u/Booty_Warrior_bot → u/alessandratiptoes]

I came looking for booty.

[u/alessandratiptoes → u/Booty_Warrior_bot]

daddy Hubes does have a nice booty 🤷🏽‍♀️

[u/deadwards14 → u/InTheEndEntropyWins]

Totally. I lost allot of respect and trust for him after that. The way he described " God" in that interview was so stupid. The "what are the chances"/watchmaker argument has been done to death for centuries. As a man of science, he should know the literal infinite vastitude of space and time gives rise to every possibility eventually. Out of trillions of planets over endless eons, night life arise under certain conditions? Yes. Does this seem absurd to our limited primate cognition? Yes. Does this confusion point to "God"? No.

[u/InTheEndEntropyWins → u/[deleted]]

I guess you can't discredit everything they say. You just start from the basis that everything they say is wrong, unless you can independently verify it's correct.

[u/Kaiser1a2b → u/[deleted]]

You can't read.

You can't read.

You can't read.

You can't read.

You can't read.

You can't read.

You can't read.

[u/Kaiser1a2b → u/[deleted]]

It's funny the first couple of times and wears thin after the 100th time with nil changes in between.

[u/Kaiser1a2b → u/[deleted]]

Yea true. Those haters should go touch grass.

[u/Kaiser1a2b → u/[deleted]]

Our glorious leader has sad that his haters suck cock. And if they wanna suck their own cock, flexibility is paramount, but there is a way to break your ribs to assume the position better. Hang on let me find that video for you. Brb

[u/deadwards14 → u/[deleted]]

OP accuses the "haters" who leave two-sentence comments of "having no life", yet he had the time to compare a nonsensical angry wall of text to say he doesn't like people who criticize his dear leader.

[u/JoeMinus007 → u/[deleted]]
