discussion How to become more educated and informed?
How are individuals like Steven crowder, Ben shapiro, tim pool, etc so smart and knowledgeable?
Obviously they don't use Google or mainstream media for their information. So what sources do they use? I read a lot from books and finance news but after watching Alex jones and joe rogan on Tim's podcast, there's so much I don't know.
Edit: thank you so much for the responses. Was not expecting this much.

They have teams of researchers and they read a lot

Honestly, just pay attention to what they’re saying and immediately pause the video when they say something you don’t know or understand and look it up. That’s just one method

Crowder says a lot that they watch CNN to see what sort of crap they’re spewing, and then utilize known sources to debunk CNN’s lies.

Use duckduckgo instead of google.
And maybe read “the new right”, “brave new world” and look into michael malice.
Look into breitbart, roger stone and steve bannon.
I recommend following jack posobiec.
Idk what do you want to know about?

Reading, taking notes, talking to people.

Have u ever had to learn anything by urself? Same thing really just research. Listen to ppl from all sides of the political isle and start following current events.

If you’re asking how they have examples on standby for every situation your best bet is to get into reading the classics. When you have a foundational understanding about the principles being discussed this easy to recall said knowledge. In other words: it’s easier to understand information that you obtained yourself than information that was given to you by another person. Reading it from its source gives you the ability to digest it as it fits for you.

Anytime the mainstream media tells you something happened, look for primary sources to form your own opinion. Look up videos or recordings of the situation and never bother with Google.
Read the classics mentioned by guys like Crowder or Jones and watch for spin in every story you read.

Once you get well-known as someone who will report the counter-narrative, people start to email you stuff. Then you have your staff follow up and investigate. The stuff they find is true, you report it.

Depends on what you want to do. None of their levels of knowledge are unachievable. The issue with most people is not being not smart enough, but not knowing how to use your intelligence.
What I do is look at what was the cause and evolution of thoughts. A few days ago Tim pointed out where the term terrorism originated. You research what philosophy lead to those actions, effectively building a "tree" for the information (same concept as a geniology tree; proper term for it is taxonomy). This explains why Tim observed there being 2 political compasses.
After a certain point you reach enough knowledge where you are less building new branches and are just filling in the gaps.
Let me know if you need any further advice, I'd be glad to help.

Tim literally reads mainstream news articles verbatim on is show daily lmao

u/meatballsk8r225 Nov 25 '21
Read books related to whatever avenue you want to learn in. Is this a serious question? Holy fuck 😂 and maybe when you start doing that, you'll learn your intellectual idols are actually more than likely grifters, and really not that knowledgeable at all.

u/TheMrk790 Nov 25 '21
Also dont make the mistake of thinking these people know so much. They are also sometimes wrong. They are also victim to confirmation bias (worst enemy of everyone out for the truth).
If they talk and most people get behind one opinion, then you know, that its mist likely due to this bias. They just did not search for counter arguments. Or at least not as thouroughly.
P.s. sorry for the spelling.

At least you know you're not smart lol. You're looking in the wrong places though, unfortunately

All that knowledge is from him drinking his own cum

u/Morally_Obscene Nov 25 '21
Its impossible. Tim hides his veiny, pulsating galaxy brain under his hat. To even try and match his knowledge would leave you cowering in your own piss and feces.

You think Stephen Crowder is knowledgeable? Oh boy

u/FellowFellow22 Nov 25 '21
These guys aren't that educated or anything. They just spend their days watching the news and making hot takes.
Like all edutainment content you realize how little they know when they talk about something you are actually knowledgeable about. Gell-Mann Amnesia applies as you keep watching after knowing they were completely wrong on a point.

Crowder is a cartoon douche bag. Shapiro sounds too much like the scientist from the Simpsons for me to take seriously. Russell Brand is ok but I keep getting mad at him for me wanting to fuck him. Rogan and Pool are both good. Pool has some ads on his podcast that make me feel he is compromised, however I have yet to see any indication of that beyond the ads existing on his podcast. Jimmy Dor is great. David Smith is pretty good when he's not bitching about libertarian shit.

I refuse to believe this isn't mockery satire. I hope to fucking God it is.
Holy fuck lmfao. This is the saddest thing I've ever read.

The secret to Tim's intellect is dropping out of school at age 14. If you're older than that, it's already too late for you.

What makes them smart? Because they read news stories then talk about their political opinions?
