I only read hackernews and listen to what people tell me. I do listen to podcasts (Joe Rogan, Lex Fridman, Andrew Huberman, Tim Ferriss) and they do sometimes mention politics, but I try to avoid it.
- gremloni 5y agoJoe Rogan only sometimes mentions politics?
- Bud 5y agoJoe Rogan seems more suitable for erasing general knowledge than for accumulating it. In particular, regarding covid, Rogan is personally responsible for a number of deaths that would make most serial killers cower from feelings of inadequacy.
- Veen 5y ago> Rogan is personally responsible for a number of deaths I'm not sure how people justify this sort of thinking: "x acted on information presented by Y. X died. Therefore Y is a murderer". Rogan is a podcast host. He doesn't make people do anything. He and his guests present information, and some of it may be bad information. No one is forced to listen to or follow it. Every listener has agency and can make up their own minds. They have access to other sources of information. If Rogan told me to jump off a cliff, and I did, that wouldn't make him a murderer. It would make me a moron. Plus, what's implied here is that sharing wrong, misleading, or misunderstood information is tantamount to murder. That would put us on a very slippery slope.
