Joe Rogan espouses a mindset that is not conducive to skeptical inquiry. He will readily accept for face value anything that fits into his assimilated world view. Oftentimes those ideas are unscientific, pander to conspiratorial mindsets, and are often just down right wrong. Furthermore, he will often make his show a platform for people who are either full of shit, full of hate, or crackpots and snakeoil salesmen. I think the best term described for his show is that he is Oprah for Men, and she's just as bad. In my opinion he is only one or two steps removed from Alex Jones. Once in a blue moon he'll have an interesting guest on but no one that's willing to stand up to him and hold him accountable.
- danielscrubs 6y agoHold an comedian accountable? How much anger does the population have when people, that makes others laugh for a living, have to be accountable for others?
- stillbourne 6y agoThe JRE show has very little in the realm of comedy, and is more driven by Joe's philosophical views and opinion than any semblance of comicality. If his show was generally a stand up routine I would not have the same critique or hold it to the same level of skepticism.
