But if he is equally unable to refute the reasons on the opposite side, if he does not so much as know what they are, he has no ground for preferring either opinion... Nor is it enough that he should hear the opinions of adversaries from his own teachers, presented as they state them, and accompanied by what they offer as refutations. He must be able to hear them from persons who actually believe them...he must know them in their most plausible and persuasive form.”

Joe is a heavily left leaning (socially) capitalist, he seems to me to be very libertarian. I bet there’s a number of Silicon Valley engineers who lean the same way except maybe for his stance on guns.

He has everyone on his show. “Crazy” people to the mainstream. And in any case it’s his show you’re free to not give it patronage.

How do the left not realise how authoritiarian they actually are in this regard?

And making someone out to be a right wing nazi because of who they spoke to on their show is madness.

I'm not even sure it's honest on the part of these people, I think they know Joe Rogan isnt some right wing nazi but they say it just to fit in with their "group".

EDIT: I read over the word "assholes". Not drily at all.
