I'm not sure that changes his payday at all and don't see that kind of change on his side. He had many controversial guests like Alex Jones prior to Spotify. He's been doing this since 2009 and has over 1,700 episodes. The co

I agree, they're often surprisingly funny and witty. To take a random example, I just looked at the comments of Lex's recent interview with Elon ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DxREm3s1scA ) and saw: "This is

If you watch that episode, Joe pushes back a bunch of times and even pulls up Google for a fact check. It's just that Joe is polite with his guests and that seems to confuse people who are used to Twitter style dunking. Is that what pe

You're describing the corporate media. Rogan is just doing what he's been doing for thousands of hours: Having conversations with a wide variety of people across the spectrum. Fundamentally they're trying to control and narro

It doesn't sound like you're very familiar with the show given that Twitter-like characterization. At least watch that 10 minute video. The mindset in question is represented there.

I reject that hypothesis. Open dialogue is not what's harmful and those who seek to silence or censor have never ended up on the right side of history. The only thing that works over the course of time is fighting bad information with

Joe Rogan actually just made that basic point in his response regarding the Spotify controversy. He thanked even his haters and addressed the concerns. Some changes have already been made. He was very gracious to Neil Young to boot. https:

I agree the straw thing is silly and arguably even counterproductive. It makes people feel like they are doing something when in reality it makes very little material difference. "I sacrificed with a paper straw. Now excuse me as I go

I said less concerned, which still means concerned... but apparently a lot less than the US. What I was referring to is this disagreement: "US warns Russian attack may be 'imminent,' Ukraine disagrees" From President Vol

Something I don't get: Why is the Ukrainian president less concerned about invasion than the US president? Anyone have a good answer to this?

Does that explain the level of nuance around public health policy? Covid policy for example. Some countries take into account natural immunity (more nuance). Others don't and simply require everyone to be vaccinated regardless (less nu

Arguably an open secret at this point. The duopoly is increasingly organized around hyperventilating that the other will destroy civilization, then upon taking power the GOP passes its standard corporate tax cuts, Dems get a middling infras

And flight from debased fiat. A lot of currencies are inflating due to governments and central banks editing the money database. They can't edit the decentralized ledger and print more Bitcoin or lock you out. That aspect is increasing
