okay, this guy is great. finally someone that disagrees and isn't condescending or obnoxious.

[lnuchbox]

"As responsible scientists, we are trying to disprove our theories." What an amazing quote. I like that a lot.

[JohnEarlyChannel]

Best response and tone to Graham's theories I've heard yet.

[landorslam]

Every single archeologist has that exact shirt lol

"If we're busy burning books of ideas we do not like, that's where we close our minds to the possibility to advancing things." - Ed Barnhart
Brilliant!

Graham Hancock

Thanks to Ed Barnhart for his open-minded and respectful position on my work. The feeling is mutual. He and I spent a couple of days together at Palenque filming a sequence for Ancient Apocalypse, Season 2. It was a privilege to spend time with him. ( no need for hate when you don't agree on some things )

[martinandrewsnz]

This type of "agree to disagree" discourse with no anger or vitriol is so refreshing

[MiThreeSunz]

It’s refreshing to see someone like Ed be respectful toward Graham. Both men are pursuing their ancient civilization hypotheses from different angles. As an analytics scientist, I understand Ed’s approach in using empirical data to prove or disprove a hypothesis yet I’m intrigued and enamoured with Graham’s fascinating theories. 🇨🇦

[aaronwieman]

You can respect others and disagree as shown in this clip. Sadly we have lost this as a society

[Loopsinasquare]

This is how we used to discuss other ideas, wasnt it refreshing

[dylanbarney]

This guy is a light in the dark. Thanks for having him on!

[briansmith]

I really miss the civility humans used to exhibit. This was a fine example of better days.

[Dogmadotinc]

Theres something so calming and refreshing about hearing a person be measured and self critical.

[parrydox.gaming]

Beautifully spoken response to questions by a fellow anthropologist. Always stay open to everything, but don’t let yourself fall down the rabbit hole that leads to one grand conclusion.

[npb]

Gotta say Lex has gotten his podcast dialed in. Experts in any and all fields, comedians, pop culture figures. He really is just able to let people have a voice and I'm here for it

[TheVinceLyons]

Call Dana White and setup duel in a Mayan ball court

[gabrielgago]

This guy right here is the kind of person we lack nowadays. People you can actually have a normal conversation with what you agree and disagree and learn from each other and sometimes correct someone with false assumptions, without sounding pedantic, condescending, and utterly obnoxious, like 99% of people on social media.
SM could be awesome if people would behave like regular human beings.

'Agree to disagree without spitting any venom'
^^ If only this would happen more often.

[GreatEditsEveryDay]

Hats off to Ed for giving someone he deeply disagrees with his due, strong manning the other side's arguments ❤
