> While Rogan’s views on vaccination are regrettable and profoundly unhelpful to America’s attempts to battle the pandemic, his podcast is also a near-perfect simulacrum of the books burned by the firemen in Fahrenheit 451.
Writing about dystopian societies, I find it pert how gingerly the author tiptoes around the Joe Rogan's podcast topic. He makes his point well, yet makes sure he sprinkles in the required disclaimers lest he gets attacked, demonstrating exactly what he is writing about.

- JasonFruit 5y agoHow could they tell? — and that's the point. When you see the standard disclaimers, you don't know if they were placed there as an honest expression of the writer's opinion, or if they were put there by order of their mind's "legal department".
