Look on the bright side: people are talking about (and thinking about) topics they might not normally be exposed to. The blame for lack of critical thought skills might fall more upon our parents and educators than Joe Rogan.
- drcongo 5y agoRogan talking about vaccines causing autism, faked moon landings, 911 conspiracies and whatever other nonsense falls out of his empty head gives it enough of a whiff of respectability that other people give credence to this rubbish. He's dangerous and I find his popularity among the mostly very smart HN community completely baffling. David Icke isn't given the same pass, so why is Rogan?
- snurfer 5y agoThose sound like topics worthy of debate. Hopefully you take advantage of the opportunity to provide counterpoints to Rogan's "nonsense" when it presents itself. What's "dangerous" is the intolerance of thought that permeates society right now. We seem to have lost the ability to listen and then respond. I always thought Joe Rogan might be more of an Art Bell-type personality. Personality, not authority.
- claaams 5y agoHe has conservative conspiracy extremists (and white ethno-fascists) on his show, amplifying their insane ideology, and he avoids any responsibility or blame for it.
