Swear to christ, I heard a toilet flushing the whole time I read this.
He promoted Alex Jones for years, constantly pushes conspiracy thinking, and has conditioned millions of impressionable people to doubt basic facts. Joe Rogan may not be a flat-earther or an anti-vaxxer, but he laid a lot of groundwork for those movements with his years of “just asking the question” about the moon…
I’m working my way through the latest JRE with Sam Harris, so right after the Dorsey interview. Joe has said many times that he wished he handled things differently. That is probably the biggest issue. Joe wants to talk to Dorsey like he talks with Bert Kreischer or Joey Diaz. So when somebody else comes on, Joe isn’t…
Jones is scum and Rogan is an asshole.
This is a good description. He says dumb shit under the “just asking” guise and people who don’t know any better think he is smart and deep.
Joe Rogan is not Oprah for dudes. He is GOOP for bros.
I skip all Rogan’s episodes with Shapiro, Peterson et al. He’s far too credulous to have any kind of interesting discussion on those kinds of issues imo. I will still tune in though if it’s someone like Brian Cox or his comedian/actor friends like Joey Diaz and the like.
Must be hard to spew the crap he does and and actually believe it.
I think he’s one of those people who sounds smart and reasonable until you hear him talk about something you’re an expert on. Then he sounds so uneducated that it makes you wonder about everything else he’s said.
I feel much dumber after having skimmed this post.
Honestly, I got about halfway through this article, then I realized they’re both tremendous assholes and, since the world would be a better place without both of them, I’m kinda hoping they destroy each other ala two Godzilla-type monsters wrestling one another into a volcano.
A lot of furious, really stupid people out there. “I wish I was as articulate and smart as Alex. He lets me speak my mind when I’m just plainly too dumb to speak my mind.”
Is there such a thing as AM internet because these fuckers need to be on it.
So lunatic conspiracy theorist vs Sam Harris bro who never got past the “what if reality isn’t real” level of drug thinking. I vote giant meteor.
This beef has been recalled due to high levels of prions.
Sometimes the guy simply has a better name. Despite peer pressure in certain circles most woman take their husbands name.
Let’s check in on Taj Jackson, who started a Gofundme in an effort to produce a documentary countering Leaving Neverland
STFU Jackson family.
I personally consider Jackson’s crimes and the fact that he never faced justice shameful, but to each their own idea of “shameful”, I guess.
