His job is not to challenge his guest's ideas, it is precisely to give them a platform. Weak people are afraid of ideas and thus dislike this very notion.

- quantdev 7y agoAgreed. I don't want to see hosts challenging their guests' ideas. I appreciate Sean Carrol's physics podcasts for exactly the same reason: he doesn't always agree with his guest's interpretation of quantum mechanics or understanding of consciousness, but he does not argue with them - he helps them present their best case. If you want to see guests arguing with their hosts, well that's a form of entertainment you can get on cable.
- smacktoward 7y ago> Weak people are afraid of ideas And weak guests advocating weak ideas are afraid of hosts who will challenge them. So I guess Rogan's show is the ideal venue for them.
