I really hope this continues until I no longer have to hear the words "I heard on the Joe Rogan podcast..." followed by some fully anti-science nonsense from the overly credulous. That show has a lot to answer for.

Look on the bright side: people are talking about (and thinking about) topics they might not normally be exposed to. The blame for lack of critical thought skills might fall more upon our parents and educators than Joe Rogan.

Those sound like topics worthy of debate. Hopefully you take advantage of the opportunity to provide counterpoints to Rogan's "nonsense" when it presents itself.

What's "dangerous" is the intolerance of thought that permeates society right now. We seem to have lost the ability to listen and then respond.

I always thought Joe Rogan might be more of an Art Bell-type personality. Personality, not authority.
