Yes, that's the way it should be, but it isn't. For some insane reason that I may never truly comprehend, Joe Rogan has become an important source of information and opinion to swaths of people. I suspect this has something to do with the fact he routinely has credible experts on his show and he has the capacity to engage them and appear to play to their level, therefore giving Rogan some semblance of associated expertise that has now become accepted myth.

Either way, this man should not be looked at as an expert on anything of any importance or relevance. Trump should have been seen as the celebrity, populist, air puff he was but he ended up the 45th President of the United States.

Vulnerable people are in this vortex both of them have created, and Rogan needs to recognize his influence and subsequent responsibilities.
