Joe Rogan is interviewing one of my personal heroes, Lawrence Lessig. It's probably worth watching it.

Thats an eight year old tweet, we cant judge that without proper context
Isn't it fucked up that we can just put a number on a person's life, like a dollar value. Man. Makes you think YO JAMIE PULL UP THAT VIDEO OF THE MOOSE GETTING HIT BY A TRUCK
Being a climate change denier is far from being intelligent.

getting tricked into believing either of these two are worth time. sad. ben shapiro doesn't even have his own perspective. he's paid to have them, financed by actual evil people. you don't even need a middle man (lol rhymes with 'little man') to hear that shit. jordan peterson is a fancy-words shell game. to believe that he's got a curious mind means ignoring one of the main tricks he uses to make people think he's smart - he does not accept criticism. every last critic somehow misunderstands him or proves his point exactly. what an amazing track record to hold.
Why is it always "I don't know much about the person and/or situation but watch me type multiple paragraphs defending bullshit while portraying anyone against me as the real fascist" with all these assholes?
Get the fuck outta here with that. The guy was openly spouting bullshit.
Wasn't the guy banned for caping for Gavin, who is part of a hate group?
Basically anyone who has a conversation with or at all associates with someone who's a shitty person, socially dumb, etc is a monstrous bigot themselves who should be deplatformed.

How is dismissing Gavin Mcinness as just a prankster an intelligent argument?
When you just nod along while they spout terrible shit and don't call them out on it, yeah that is pretty fucking shitty.
Yes, he was trying to defend people that can't be defended.
My point was more on the fact that it is perfectly fine to tell people to fuck themselves as a retort. But maybe my expectations are too high.
That you believe that to be the root says a lot.
I mean, yeah? That's kind of how life works. I don't associate with bigots and everyone that isn't a bigot does the same thing. Why would you associate yourself with a shitty person if you aren't one yourself lol
If I'm having a party at my house and someone attending turns out to be racist, I'd kick them out. Imagine if there is also a guy at the party who is like 'wait we should listen to what they have to say', then I'm sorry but they have to leave as well.
There are ways to disagree and not have to resort to personal attacks.
I don't think he was being disingenuous. He's wrong sure, but that doesn't mean he is not intelligently discussing his thoughts.
This is just going to turn into a dog pile against me so I'll just stop.
I don't think it is genuinely possible to argue what they did and not be disingenuous because the argument is inherently disingenuous.
Socially dumb? Tell me more about how guys like Jordan Peterson and Gavin McInnes are just "socially dumb" and not actively preaching hate and bigotry and advocating violence fully aware of what they are doing
I think the problem is that, in here, people who cape for bigots are guilty until proven innocent, and you want them to be innocent until proven guilty.
Defending a poster downplaying bigotry by handwaving comments made by said poster.
That's some next-level defense for bigots.
The hate and judgement bandwagon that's aimed at Joe Rogan when he's not a hateful person himself is kinda trash.
Listened to the first hour so far. Lester is incredibly knowledgeable and informative. And Joe remains a great interviewer. Long form interviews without constant interruptions are so rare.
OP, you should have really known what Rogan has become known for, especially on this board that is incredibly anti-fascist and anti-religious fundamentalist, who Rogan routinely books because YouTube's algorithm loves to feed and nurture a reactionary right-wing crowd, and Rogan plays to those view numbers.
Rather than plug Rogan, you should have watched the podcast and posted something here in the rare case that something socially significant like Rogan disavowing a dozen of his most extreme right wing guests occurs.

Okay I think it's time I check out his podcasts outside of the few clips I've seen.
Any particular episodes that highlight his bigotry and/or alt-right enabling? Just so I don't waste my time checking his other stuff if he turns out to be a fuckwit.

Just look at his guests. Pick and choose. He had Dr. Weil on recently. Interesting guy. Many consider him a kook, but I've gotten value on his breathe work stuff to manage anxiety.
I don't understand how anyone can listen to hours of Rogan. He's either horribly out of his depth with things he doesn't know and offers no valid opinion or pushback, or is incredibly homerish when he does know something about the subject, like MMA. I remember watching a clip with Rogan actually falling for the Ronda hype and boosting Ronda Rousey as a legitimate boxer Before she got polished by Holly Holm. When he's with other slackers he'll just say wild shit without substantiating it one iota. "Bill Clinton has had people killed". K? Care to back that up in ANY way?
I tried listening to the Neil Degrasse Tyson episode, and Rogan was either completely spaced out or wasting time asking Neil stupid fuckery. I think I got 15 minutes in. Even Bill Burr couldn't drag a full funny podcast out of him, and they're both comedians!
He's also a hypocrite - he went on a huge rant about people interviewing recently concussed athletes and swore he'd never do it then turns around and does it to Daniel Cormier! Dude has no ethos, he contradicts himself all the time. I watched a clip today where Michael Bisping called him a fence sitter. Perfect analysis.
What's even weirder than Rogan though are the people who are seriously expecting this pothead to hold people's feet to the fire. How can you listen to anything this guy says and have that opinion?

You want to delve a bit but you want someone to point to the bigotry? You want a timestamp? I'll second entremet take a look at the guest list and have a listen to what takes your fancy.
I'm a Joe Rogan fan. I think there's a lot of positive things you can learn from the guy about life, happiness, nutrition, exercise, etc.
Politically, we differ greatly, but I don't think he's a stupid guy by any means despite being out of his depth on many of the issues he chooses to talk about. To be fair, I'd be out of my depth talking about them to. The important thing is that Rogan is curious, and people seem to forget that often matters more than anything.

I mean I'd say something like the US efforts as part of NATO's involvement in the Yugoslav wars, which I guess goes to show just how ignorant Rogan is about, well, anything?
He's not saying that. He's saying the Clinton's have had people killed to hush them up and pay for murders through the Clinton foundation. Some stupid fuckery like that. He used that guy that Fox News keeps parroting (Seth Rich I think his name is?) as an example. Disagreeing with a Presidents actions through foreign policy is one thing. Blathering on about some conspiracy shit you heard is quite another.
Oh Jesus, that crap. Do the people who stan for this guy also support the Megan Fox ancient aliens show thing?
