So, I said 'what's wrong with how he does what he does', you say 'because it's an infomercial', I dispute and then raise 'what difference does that make' and your answer is 'I don't like infomercials'.
So, because you don't like infomercials, Joe Rogan shouldn't do them?
> I feel interviewers who push their guests to confront and address the rougher edges and ramifications of their beliefs
I feel I'm smart enough to figure out for myself if someone's claims or beliefs have rougher edges and ramifications. I don't need someone to ask these questions, if they go unaddressed, I make a determination as to why.
For instance "Drink this koolaide and you'll go to heaven." I don't need someone to question that, I'll be sure to question it on my own. Did the person espousing such a belief do enough to substantiate their opinion during the interview or not?
- ceejayoz 7y agoI think doing infomercials instead of an effective interview is a disservice to the listeners. "I'm smart enough to figure out for myself" is sometimes true, but it's also what gets us anti-vaxxers and conspiracy theorists. Joe Rogan can do whatever the fuck he wants, just like I can criticize his choices.
