    I somewhat agree, but the issue is that people do in fact take rogan as an authoritative source. A month ago a guy was talking to me about litter boxes in schools. That was debunked over a year ago. I told him it was absolutely bullshit and debunked. He insisted it was real. I asked for his source. He said Joe rogan. I lost my chill a bit and said “oh well then I stand corrected” very sarcastically. To his credit he looked it up and realized he was wrong, but this is the kind of issue rogan causes.

      I bet he didn’t stop watching Rogan though. It took me a long time to get it, but I finally figured out that people who believe that nonsense don’t want facts.
