Graham Hancock has a history within Ancient Apocalypse of very selectively editing people's appearances on his show in order to make them appear more supportive of his crackpot theories than they actually are. Look up MiniMinuteMan on youtube for a complete breakdown and dissection of every episode of Ancient Apocalypse season 1. So, there is hope that Keanu is not actually that supportive of Hancock's theories.
When being too nice becomes a problem.
Plot twist: Keanu isn't immortal, as the pictures show, he's actually just a very long-lived alien, and it's in his best interest to make sure none of the crackpots get too close to the truth.
shame. i hope he was duped and didn't know what he was in for.
that being said, can't wait for the miniminuteman video.
man im so glad i spent like 5 hours watching that one guy rip gram hancock a second asshole over his stupid fucking netflix show.
This meme would make no sense otherwise. Fuck conspiracy theories.
linky or channel pls
miniminuteman, the funny milo rossi guy.

audio is fucking ass, unfortunately that's throughout the whole series, good watch despite this painful blunder though.
I don't know what video he meant but here's one.
Critiquing every episode of Ancient Apocalypse (Hancock has no evidence) — channel Stefan Milo
He may not have been fully aware of what he was being filmed for. This wouldn't be the first time a famous actor had been tricked into being part of an anti-science video:
True, there was even that creationist "documentary" that got Richard Dawkins to "look like a fool" in it
Maybe he's not your friend and you don't really know him?
I mean, I never said I did. I'm just throwing out another possibility (that has happened before) so that people don't just walk away taking the meme at face value without engaging with it
You can instantly tell someone is full of shit when they treat scientific scrutiny as if it's a holy war. Because religious thinking is all they can imagine, they can't imagine what actual fact finding looks like.
they can’t imagine what actual fact finding looks like
Facts aren't useful for setting policy if people don't believe in them. Just ask any climatologist.
he's on the show to debunk or verify everything with his firsthand experience as an immortal, actually he built the pyramids and he's getting utterly fed up with everyone assuming aliens or workers did it.
He is a man of commitment and sheer fucking will, after all.
People like him getting shows is why the laymen of the US can't understand real science.
So I just watched a 4 part video series which I think is 2-3 hours long total? Didn't pay attention to lenght because it sucked me in and I was listening to it while doing some work. The level of misinformation, bending narrative and lies is just insane. I bet netflix just wanted to have their own "ancient aliens" style "documentary" because money obviously but the fact they present those lies and dare I say propaganda on their service as truth in form of a documentary is disturbing. I have no clue how did they even manage to get keanu on this shit because I'd assume he has people around him that would inform him about things given the reputation he has. I'm on a phone so I will send the comment first and edit in the debunking I watched soon after.
E: A little over 3 hours total: https://youtu.be/-iCIZQX9i1A
Didn't even have to click to know Milo has created another Googledy Bunker. It's a great series and I recommend the rest of his work.
By his, I mean miniminuteman
The only upside is that we might get another epically long Milo Rossi debunking
Not if your Milo's liver
Holy shit, they greenlit a 2nd season of that trash!? And he's still crying like a bitch about being censored.
ELI5?
Graham Hancock is a fraud who pushes a baseless conspiracy theory about an ancient civilization that spanned the globe that was destroyed before the last Ice Age. He's successfully siphoned money away from serious archeological work with his specious bullshit, and right now he's doing a series called Ancient Apocalypse where he pushes this hypothesis on Netflix. Looks like it's going into Season 2 and Keanu Reeves appears in it.
I used to love this kind of conspiracy stuff as a kid. It was like X Files. Then I learned people took it for real 😒 and it did actual harm to real academic work
There is so much anti science nonsense out there right now, that stuff like this isn't funny anymore. It's sad and, more importantly, dangerous.
What's worse is the links to white supremacy in all this shit.
The origin of many of these ancient alien slash ancient apocalypse "theories" are 1900s Germany.
People who were looking for a "scientific" reason why Germans were the superior race.
The core thrust of every "ancient" whatever theory is that ancient people were idiots and had to be shown how to pile rocks into a pyramid shape or shit.
The imaginary people who "showed" ancient brown people how to do shit are always depicted as white.
I think I might have watched 1 or 2 episodes of this? I thought it was weird how he was talking about how known history is totally wrong and the vast majority of people don't know the truth. If it's the same thing anyways. DNF though lol
I thought, growing in Russia, that such things are not possible in the West. (They were and to some extent still are quite popular here, though, with Fomenko and thousand other freaks.)
Do I look stupid?
