In the context of the rest of the article it seems that the author composed that forgetting that their personal vantage point isn't the default. They seem to be saying that he tends to give CPR to figureheads of dying cultures not for the benefit of the author's social segment but for the benefit of the cult of Rogan.
I personally agree, but also find it hard to blame the guy too much. Anyone who has honestly engaged with trying to fundamentally change who they are knows that it's hard as shit. Can you blame the man for still being the brotastic brody bro that he was a few years ago? It turns out that yes, yes you can. I personally don't, but it is a terribly valid point to say that some comfortably privileged person's curiosity (or desire to satisfy their privileged preconceptions, depending on who you ask) should be outweighed by school shootings or the validation of the experiences of women and other minorities.
It really seems like there is such a disparate and massive quantity of fact and opinion out there nowadays that it's hard as hell even getting it all to fit together, much less managing to connect whatever views you cobble together with those that others wind up with. Cohesifying society in the midst of all of this feels like trying to put together a themed potluck by giving everyone literally a billion ingredients and hoping that their selections just each happen to be all taco themed or whatever. What a fucking mess.
