As I said, I don't listen to Joe Rogan. I can't offer a first-hand opinion on whether he is left-wing or right-wing. I can't even say for certain that he is an idiot. But I am perfectly willing to entertain the possibility that Joe Rogan is mostly left-wing and mostly an idiot.
I hope you take the time to actually listen to at least one of his podcasts before assuming anything about him. I know they are long and I cited two above. But generally speaking if I jumped in to any discussion of people you listened to or Trolly did or any of the people saying they have never listened to anything and I had an opinion the person was an idiot, or whatever, while admitting i had never listened to any of his episodes, I think that would be heavily criticized. And I am not saying you are being too critical.
I don't think Joe is an idiot at all. But I have a bias and sympathy for people I feel are more hippie type skeptics.
That comes from me knowing the dangers Big Pharma and an increasing amount of medical Data poses and finding very few people I talk to know that, and they typically react as if you are crazy to assume Big Pharma could coopt the Science and Data that we might get.
I posted in another thread all the very respected and independent bodies sounding the alarm on how Big Pharma is not only driving most science and including and excluding what they want reaching the public but they are using law suits to silence any and all dissent, especially the stuff that might come out of Universities. They are using the threat of the cost of litigation to make Universities and others not use their voice.
Soon we will have, just as in politics, Big Pharma (the special interest group) just ghost writing all data disclosures, as they are currently doing to a smaller extent, and when people like myself or Rogan, raise skepticism, you will have others say 'where is the data, where is the proof' and treat you like an idiot if you cannot find some, mean while Big pharma has silenced it.
i think Monty would cite this type of stuff as Shuffle like, but then he is calling all the very reputable Universities and institutions raising this exact alarm, Shuffle' like.
