Joe Rogan was never an important voice for anything. He’s a categorical dipshit. He has the moral compass of a windsock. He is impressed by any statement that’s even mildly astute, and latches onto ideas that are presented as such by whatever person he’s interviewing. The fact that so many people in the states are so into what he says is frankly a pretty damning indictment of my countrymen in general.

    And yet he’s consistently had the largest podcast audience in the world for about a decade with tens of millions of loyal followers. “Important” doesn’t imply “good,” or “smart,” or “correct.” A tumor is important. Yes, he’s a moron and all the other things you said, but he’s also a massively important voice for whatever happens to rattle between his ears.
