The problem is they didn't just harm or kill themselves as a result of listening to his stupidity. Much more often than not, they ended up fine but hurt or killed others.

Good.

So, what we're arguing about is NOT so much the tool being brought to bear (pressure on a private outfit to not provide him a platform), but rather whether his activities are dangerous enough to merit bringing that tool to bear.  That's a particular and specific conversation.

Anyone with a lick of sense agrees that it's permissible and appropriate to use private pressure to push people/businesses to not give dangerous/hateful merchants of bullshit a platform.  Now, we're just arguing about whether Joe Rogan's bullshit-selling is sufficiently harmful to merit such treatment.

Personally, I don't think it's dangerous enough to merit a push for full de-platforming.  I DO think that there can and should be a push to him directly to be more responsible, and to be more cautious about amplifying things that can and do actually hurt people (sorry, but the data is clear -- encouraging people not to get vaccinated, and instead take vitamins and ivermectin, gets people killed -- the unvaxxeed, when infected, are dying at much higher rates than vaxxed).  He should perhaps invite someone on to discuss risk analysis, cost-benefit analysis, and how people are generally not very good at it  Joe would then find out he's not very good at it.  And maybe his audience would as well.  I think that would be a fantastic outcome.

How you follow up such an insane post with an insane analogy with this post which is actually quite brilliant (mostly because I 100% agree), blows my mind. The duality of man, the two sides of a Brisket.

The right answer is to have these folks that disagree with him to get on his podcast and call his ass out. Of course people are going to dig when you are condescending towards them. How can people that are so educated suck so badly at predicting human behavior? 

the past several years have taught us that pushing back against this shit with facts does not win people over.  quite the opposite, in fact.  it typically causes them to dig in harder on their beliefs.

i would imagine most rogan fans would absolutely love so-called-experts to come on his show and try to convince joe he's wrong, so they can pile on, dunk on him/her, and laugh them out of the room.

Rogan isn't knowingly going to have guest on that can run circles around him and call his BS. There was a recent clip on a guest doing exactly that, fact checked him mid show and he dismissed it... doubt that guest will ever be invited back.

Like I pointed out pages back, there's a reason he hasn't had Peter Hotez on since his shift on covid and vaccines and it isn't because Hotez doesn't want to do it.

already regretting quoting this, but here is the basic problem with the current gop.  it's what i call "the leap", at least when i'm arguing with the wife.  i'm sure there's a technical or clinical term for it.

one side says x, we have a problem with x, we need to do x.  the other side freaks out and says, omg, how could you possibly want to do y?

too many shootings.  we need to have a better background check system and go back to limiting certain types of assault rifles.  response: they're coming to take all your guns.  sigh.  i get it.  overreaction gets the big headline and riles up the base.  but it's tired and reductive.

nobody is calling for censorship here.  this is a pretty honest big-picture discussion about what happens when a guy with a really big megaphone is not only allowing, but promoting dangerous behavior in the time of a pandemic that has killed a million people in this country and countless others around the globe.  it's a problem, and problems call for solutions, or at the very least, open dialogue.

stop making this binary.  stop making it seem like we're all saying fuck joe rogan, let's censor his ass.  i haven't read every post, but i've seen pretty much nobody calling for that.

we're discussing x.  get the fuck out of here with y.

You are correct that he's too much of an intellectual midget and a pussy to invite one of his critics on his show because he knows he will get smashed to pieces, but he probably will with Szeps because Szeps has defended Rogan publicly and they're friends. Also, Szeps didn't even go hard in the paint and dunk on him, he just stated facts and backed it up. The important takeaway that his defenders seem to be missing is Rogan's willingness to push back against factually correct claims wrt covid vaccines and bloviate his misinformed nonsense and pull up Google for proof but when a dipshit fraud intellectual like Jordan Peterson comes on his show with transparent inanities like "climate is EVERYTHING and NOTHING" and "he's not black" and Rogan just sits there and nods "riiiiight right right."

90 percent of my job is driving and since I cancelled XMSirius my latest rabbit hole is going thru the archives of Karina Longworth's You Must Remember This podcast- history of Hollywood. Not sure what qualifies as "long form" but they're generally entire seasons dedicated to one subject- the Rat Pack, the Manson murders, the rise and fall of MGM, etc...- whereas Rogan and guests sounds like a conversation at a party you're trying to extract yourself from.

the problem is that the "only fat and old people die and young people are perfectly unaffected" line of thinking went out the window with the early variants.  the reason the early variants weren't the only variants is because there are people out there with a platform telling folks it's smart to stay unvaccinated.

It’s worse because drinking bleach is so stupid on its face that only a tiny fraction of imbeciles will do it and it only hurts them. Lots more imbeciles will refuse to vax and they will infect olds and other people. Rogan is such a waste of carbon, his molecules could be something useful like a flesh eating amoeba or a hagfish, why would anyone care to defend him?

Partial credit.  We have countries across the world that are poor and I’ll equipped, with billions of people, and they couldn’t keep up.  Even with all the vaccine help they could ever have they couldn’t out run it.  Delta, iirc, started from India, no?

because what you said cannot be taken at face value and it ignores A LOT - like the whole fucking problem! 24-yo JR fan goes around maskless and unvaxed and contracts covid but has no symptoms. and he has no idea he is spreading covid to everyone he encounters. it's highly probable that person can infect several others, possibly causing one to die (or at the very least end up hospitalized and suffering forever from long covid). but that 24-yo continues to skip through his world merrily because he's unaffected. how do you seriously not see the problem with this?

you're making my point for me.  outside variants coming to this country would get shut down a lot easier if we had 85-90% vaccination rate.  but we don't, and we never realistically had a shot at it. 

the other issue is that the people who don't get vaxxed are also the same people who don't wear masks and don't take it seriously, hang out at super spreader events, etc.  whereas the folks who are taking it seriously are sitting home fully vaccinated and wearing masks in public.  it should be the exact opposite, but here we are.

covid rant over, this is not the place for it.  there shouldn't be anything smart or factual about covid in the joe rogan thread.

So what are you saying exactly? You want him censored or no? 

I am very libertarian on free speech issues and always have been. Our country was founded on freedom of speech even if you don't agree with it or it is misinformed in your eyes, offensive, etc. . I want people to keep in mind some of the worst things in history have been done almost always to protect the public from "harm" or for greater good. The thought police stuff would fall into that. 

 

We are still in the midst of a worldwide pandemic that is the most severe in a century. I expect human beings that care about their fellow woman or man to be responsible with the words they use, especially those that have a platform that can spread a good message about getting a vaccine. 
 

This is solely a do the right thing moment. Contrarians spreading crazy disinformation that has no basis in science or medicine are actively harming people. Words have consequences when they are used in the manner Rogan uses his. He is showing he does not care whether people live or die. He’s getting paid and that’s what he’s in it for. He could be doing so much good right now, but he willingly chooses not to because “he’s just some moron asking questions.” When someone tells you who they are on the inside in this manner believe them.
