So what, Joe Rogan is the next Einstein? 2018 is an interesting time

No you goof. What he is-and he just stumbled across it as his own admission-is the perfect antidote to the HOTTAKE, panel discussion, everyone-yell, get-an-8-second-soundbyte in world we live in when it comes to discussion of everything from current events to political ideology today.

He has perfected a platform and process where he squeezes approximately 3 hours of critical listening and moderating incredibly relevant thinkers, influencers or whatever you want to call it and pushing it out to tens of millions of people, multiple times a week.

He owns the most widely disseminated, widely listened to and wildly popular podcast in the history of what is a nascent medium. How he does it is what makes it so popular. He allows liberals-and make no mistake Weinstein, Harris & even Jordan Peterson (by his own admission)are all classical liberals in the political sense-and conservatives the time to flesh out a thoughtful discussion of their ideas and how they apply to our culture and society at large.

Something that the talk shows and in-your-face drive-by media are simply incapable of doing.

In an age where popular discourse has been truncated down to 140 characters or less, this format and these thinkers are being given a medium and platform to appeal to a society that is starving for sophisticated thought that takes time and concentration to hear and consider.

Rogan is leading the Renaissance of thoughtful discourse in current events and political ideology in short. He is not a genius. Far from it. But he's perfected the art of getting the f*ck out of the way, listening critically and driving the conversation of these thinkers so that they can articulate in a way that millions can wrap their minds around and understand.

He's helping them to distill their views and thoughts and make them palatable and then injecting them into a discourse that desperately needs them and it.

He keeps his audience hooked by including a wide variety of folks...scientists, sleep specialists, bowhunters, mycologists, chemists, documentary film-makers, adventure hunters, politicians, comedians, etc.

Before, there was no place for the men at this table and they were cut off from contributing meaningfully. Instead, we now have more and more platforms where ideas and thoughtful dialogue about them can be shared, compared and contrasted without the hyperventilation occurring in the media now.
