I watched a lot of Rogan clips during quarantine in an attempt to understand the appeal. My general takeaway was a sense of cringe at braindead pluralism posing as the multi faceted musings of a renaissance man. On one hand a fascination and almost worship of scientific thought. On the other hand, an obsession with anti-intellectualism hiding behind "I'm just asking questions" paranoia nonsense. I feel bad for the women who go on dates with bros who try to impress them with random scientific factoids or sentences that begin with "kinda reminds me of how the Amazonians..."
Some of the shit was entertaining. Yea I liked some of the alien stuff but at the same time...that's the type of content that really flies in the face of the science fetish. What you're left with is a guy/ideology that cannot discern truth from bullshit. Fact from fiction. Real from fake. Critical thought from paranoia. Instead it's all mixed in a blender and presented for your consumption, where everything is equal. Just from an intellectual perspective...this shit is bad for your brain, man.
