Yeah, I mean I get that's how it went down, but I truly don't get how you didn't cotton on earlier, it was just so apparent. And I'm not bagging on you or anything, I'm truly mystified with what people look at with other humans, celebrities in particular. I just don't get how these people slide by large segments of the population.

I thought he was sort of dumb, but well meaning and open minded.

I don't mind people like that at all.  It also seemed like he had a level of self awareness about it that eventually turned into a sort of parody.

The grifting side of wasn't evident to me at all prior to Covid.  He really did have people from all sides, and the left leaning people weren't just chum.  He took a hard right pivot after Covid.

Musk owns property here but he doesn't "live" here right?

AUS is the most frequent origin/destination for his jet.

Everything from his comedy to his TV work completely flies in the face of this from my perspective.

I just get a sense that like Trump, people project what they want on these guys instead paying any attention to who they actually are.

I still don't think he had the numbers to justify the deal. I think the deal was sort of like these self fulfilling prophecies that people call startups. 

Anyone can lose money at scale with backing, and they can even get everyone in the world to know about it. The criteria for becoming a "made man" of sorts is completely bogus and adds little to nothing to the economy. Entertainment and infotainment has largely become extremely parasitic to economic productivity in America, but everyone keeps pouring money in because the ponzi scheme is alive and well.

I feel bad because I started watching his show way back at the beginning because I was a huge fan of Newsradio. And I defended and supported this dude for years.

But in 2021 he lost the plot entirely. Covid I guess. Amazing how a thing that Trump managed so badly ended up benefiting Trump a ton.

I was in the same boat, and he lost me during Covid as well.  

He absolutely changed his outlook, message, and completely bit into the MAGA verse.  Who he was prior to that was fine for the most part, and I don't really feel bad about listening to his show or vouching for him back then, but man he lost the trail as hard as anyone ever has.

How closely does his change coincide with his big contract?

It's pretty close.  I was losing interest shortly before he moved to Spotify, but I don't think I've listened to a single pod since he made that switch.

So it was coming ahead of that, but it's gotten much worse in the aftermath.

I jumped ship around this time as well.  I attribute it to the big Apple $$$ making him stupid.

I think Rogan is just a simpleton who is trying to talk about big boy topics with absolute lunatics, who just twist off into the ether when you don't have the knowledge to push back or not have on in the first place. Therefore he's dangerous as fuck.

Well he used to talk to people who knew what they were talking about. A few anyway.

He books the guests and actively promotes these POS grifters and pseudo-intellectuals.  No quarter. How many times have Eric and Bret Weinstein been on his show? 15 times? More?

As did a ton of people. It still blows my mind how many people Covid just completely broke. I guess I never understood how deep the ignorance and distrust of the medical and science worlds really was. I have been around medicine my entire life, so it all just seemed like, that’s what you do in a pandemic. But man, it fucked us up royally.

This idiot is responsible for putting this guy, also an idiot, on his podcast. Billy Carson is what happens when you mix drugs together with already insane beliefs. Again idiot #1 put this guy on his show. I had to quit being friends with someone that had been a close friend of 20 plus years because he believed the stuff Carson was saying. You know things like buying a book off of Amazon to translate a language no one has heard in over SIX THOUSAND YEARS. He put Carson in front of millions of listeners. There are not enough ways for me to say how much I loathe Rogan for this one alone. Anyone of you that get through more than 10 minutes of that, well, good luck.
 

The rebuttal to all of it has been posted here by me last summer. It was from an actual person who likes to dispel this conspiracy garbage and it was glorious to watch.

I see your Billy Carson and raise you Terrance Howard.

He also has had Musk on and Elon is stupider than both of those morans combined...

Howard is nuts as well, but his influence is limited. Elmo is absolutely the worst human being he has ever had on there. No argument there.

Carson sticks out to me because of how he ruined a friendship for me. I am honestly shocked Carson is not part of this dictatorship in some way. He is a grifter just like they are.

how does a stupid multiplier work? I suspect it's the inverse of any logical equation

In America, 2025, the "stupid multiplier" breaks the machine, because it simply can't multiply by infinity.

i learned how this happens in astronomy 301 when the conventional math breaks and a black hole is the impossible but only explanation. 

this feels the same as doing those equations in between the daily texan crossword.

with the same dismal result of suck
