Honest question, why is Rogan a baddie?
In the guise of "just asking questions" and "listening to all sides" he platforms people with extreme views including some far right weirdos, and normalizes them to his audience. He is also just a walking example of the Dunning-Kruger effect and somehow one of the most listened to voices among his demographic, which draws additional ire from many, myself included.
Alright, fair enough. One thing I don't fully comprehend though is why can't we listen to people with extremely opposing views to challenge our own views? Why do we have to only listen to people that fit a certain category? Isn't that conformity bias?
I'm sorry. These are not meant to be loaded questions.
Perhaps a sound argument would be that general populous lack critical thinking and such distractive views can have undesired consequences.
Have you seen the world recently? We are literally at the point where states are policing interstate travel because people might have an abortion. Standing in opposition to actual fascism is an ethical imperative, and people who equivocate in the face of true evil should be condemned, at minimum.
