TopicHot take: I think Joe Rogan has an excellent podcast and he is not the alt-right

I think it's fair to say he's a bit of knuckle dragging caveman, dripping in toxic masculinity and someone who likes to make really stupid broscience theories while high. I think it's fair to say there are a lot of asshole idiot moron dickheads who get way too much airtime on the show.

But at the same time, is there anyone else who is allowing the experts in any given field come in and talk freely about anything at all for hours on end? And fair play to the guy, he's not using the platform to impose his personality or comedy routine like so many shitty interviewers do. He lets them talk, explain their position, and pushes back somewhat on things he doesn't agree with or understand, and mostly this just seems like it's to inspire more conversation.

This is the show that gets Brian Cox to talk physics, Richard Dawkins to talk Evolution, Brett Weinstein to talk biology, Anthony Bourdain to talk cooking, Bill Burr to talk comedy.

I really don't get off on the idea that we should reject Rogan's show because he puts some pretty questionable people up on there who inevitably make asses of themselves. I mean I think it's fucking weak to be honest to talk about deplatforming when the guy also does a lot to platform the actual experts in many given scientific fields.
