Think of Joe rogan as a 3 hour Ted talk. Except you can’t make an interesting 3 hour presentation, but you can actually make a conversation interesting.
What’s wrong with someone fleshing out their views for 3 hours?
And there’s another thing you are missing. Have you ever tried to lie about something or withhold the truth for 3 hours straight? Unless you are a proper psychopath it’s basically impossible.
In 3 hours you have to be authentic or the audience will know. They will feel it. You might be authentic about wrong information, but you will be authentic. People can then decide if they want to believe that or not.
A lot of people who love rogan hate the 5 minute soundbite interviews on the traditional media. It’s fake, it’s short, it’s McDonald’s of media
- mindslight 5y agoI guess when you put it that way, I grew out of TED talks a decade ago... I don't think any of these politickers are lying. I think they start with valid critiques of pretty straightforward things, and then extrapolate them into ridiculous conclusions. In a way our polarization is a result of extreme left-brained thinking without the tempering of wisdom. Listening to a 3 hour unfamiliar narrative doesn't give you many places to go afterwards. It's just a huge dump that binds together many various points, and whether you found it insightful or not has more to do with presentation and self-consistency rather than it making sense in a larger context. It's definitely better than 2 minute / 140 character soundbites. But the format is an overcorrection masquerading as a middleground.
