1a. something held as an established opinion, especially a definite authoritative tenet.
1b. a code of such tenets.
1c. a point of view or tenet put forth as authoritative without adequate grounds.
2. a doctrine or body of doctrines concerning faith or morals formally stated and authoritatively proclaimed by a church.
Also, when has Joe Rogan ever claimed, or even implied, that his beliefs are "authoritative"? He constantly does the opposite.
- nemothekid 5y agoEven if I cherry picked the one I thought was most clearest, none of them are even imply a shared set of principles that are followed without question, nor do any of the definitions under (1) contradict what I was saying. >Also, when has Joe Rogan ever claimed, or even implied, that his beliefs are "authoritative"? If you literally watch JRE today he does with regards to keto.
- danenania 5y agoHe can speak with legitimate authority on diet, exercise, martial arts, and other similar topics. He knows more about those things than 99% of people. The point is he doesn't claim authority on topics related to politics and science where he's out of his depth, or at least does it a lot less often than typical partisan commentators. You seem to be reading a different definition than I am, but ok /shrug.
