I have watched clips from shows with Taylor and I am continuously amazed, not by the over-dramatic fake acting, but by the fact that he apparently has several different PhDs and serious academic background.
Ignoring the fact that he produces the most brain-dead reality TV shows you could imagine, what really confuses me is simply his person. He talks like a Redneck who has never seen a classroom from the inside, makes incredibly stupid associations and statements that could be mistaken for the effects of a concussion, and if you watch his show you are absolutely convinced he's just a farmer living on this ranch.
Then, sometimes, he'll slip, and suddenly he makes a rational statement that shows a great depth of understanding of physics or engineering, with almost no detectable Redneck accent, and your brain literally feels like it tripped and fell. This is then followed without fail by regression back into some sort of naive association and explanation and several restatements of his original statement in extremely simple dumbed-down terms.
I am not from the US, I do not watch US television, even our reality shows are not this stupid, so this is quite honestly utterly confusing to me. It seems as if these shows are produced for viewers with major brain damage, yet I cannot possibly believe that the viewers inherently lack any sign of intelligence and looking at some of the comments always confirms that this style of acting is almost universally perceived as extremely annoying and devoid of value, with people constantly complaining about it and reiterating that this added reality TV show bullshit dilutes the value of the show 10x.
Even more confusing is that Taylor, who - even though he doesn't seem like it in the shows - appears to be a very intelligent and educated man, would purposefully allow and engage in this kind of production.
I truly believe that there is extraterrestrial life, the probability is too high to ignore, and that places like Skinwalker Ranch might contain traces or artifacts, but I'm not sure if History Channel should be the organisation researching them.
- dleslie 4y agoIt sounds like you are struggling with your understanding of what the cadence, character and interests of an educated person should be as it contradicts what you've experienced when watching Taylor on television. Truth be told, this thread is the first I've heard of this person. I don't really watch recent American supernatural daytime television. That said, it takes all kinds, and every State has one or more post-secondary institutions. Pocketing a number of PhDs is increasingly common as a result of the sheer quantity of schools and graduates.
- Mo3 4y agoThat sums it up pretty nicely. I can't remember seeing a lot of scientists producing reality TV. > I don't really watch recent American supernatural daytime television. Granted, neither do I. Maybe Taylor is just a particularly bad example, but I'd rather not watch more American supernatural daytime television to extend the dataset.
