Joe Rogan is an idiot and the only people I know who listen to his show are complete idiots.
Joe and his listeners are the types of people who think that rules and laws are for other people to follow and not them.
The average Joe Rogan listener thinks its oppressive for the law to require you to wear a seatbelt in the car and to not allow you to smoke indoors in a public building or restaurant.
A good example of a listener is this guy I know who decided that after listening to Joe Rogan that in 2022, he would only eat the meat of animals that he killed himself. I mean, that's fine, its not difficult to do, but this is a guy who doesn't hunt, has no gun or bow, has no gun licence, does not fish, does not own a fishing rod. He did nothing in 2021 to change those facts and as far as I am aware, in 2022, he has just forgotten that he told everyone that he was planning this whole thing this year.
you say this as if every episode is all about questioning well-established scientific facts or laws
he's done so many episodes with so many random guests about so many topics that it's pretty closed-minded to pigeonhole all his content based on a couple modern hot button covid takes
I'm not a "joe rogan listener" but I've randomly clicked on a few over the years and I haven't been disappointed
sometimes it's a comedian and they're just bullshitting about the good old days at the comedy store
sometimes it's a controversial figure telling their story, or a philosopher philosophizing, sometimes it's shit but sometimes it's interesting and often joe just lets his guest talk and offer their perspective
I remember listening to the James Damore one, the guy fired from Google for allegedly being anti-diversity, and it was really interesting, he just told his side of the story
he clearly wasn't a normally social guy and wasn't used to being a public figure but joe was encouraging to him, just to talk and share his experiences, and there was nothing objectionable about it
