Well, some people are saying Rogan got >$100M in the deal
Holy fuck. I never really paid attention so I had no idea who stupid he really is. That tweet is astoundingly dumb.

Rogan’s always been an absolute idiot. He was mostly harmless when he was talking with Bigfoot researchers and gymbro dudes; now that he’s gone anti-vax and Peterson-pilled people are waking up to the idea that it’s dangerous to give the power of celebrity to credulous morons. It’s rather similar to Trump’s story arc!

I defy these “modellers” to predict one stock accurately for one year and to bet their own money on the outcome.
I’m not sure if he gets what’s going on with a stock market.
People also respond to social feedback. Being a “smart” researcher in a marginal field of psychology got him a respectable but pretty bland and forgettable academic job. Being an alt right idiot that says dumb alt right things made him famous. He’s unquestionably dumb now because he is rewarded for being dumb. He is wealthier and is praised more now for current behavior. Of course he’s going to double down on that over and over again.

I didn’t turn on Rogers because of his vaccination status. I turned on him because he’s a fucking liar
He’s a late-30s clown, I hope he grows up and looks back on this episode with embarrassment.
I think the probability of this is zero or almost zero. He has so much money now that he will never personally suffer a consequence and he will always be surrounded by sycophants that reinforce his bad attitudes and behaviors.

Twitter comments about the Rogan stuff are hilarious. 8/10 are complaining about censoring freedom of speech, as one might expect from uneducated Rogan listeners.
He’s dealing with his own hell. Imagine sitting there so smug, thinking you’re deftly navigating the minefield of modernity /big pharma’s desire to alter our DNA

That’s not hell. That’s a narcissist’s dream. Imagine how important you have to be to matter, and how much smarter you have to be to pull it off, and how [something something] you have to be to be this big of a threat to their world domination plans and not get assassinated.

Always thought her focus was to not be very political so she could reap profits from people regardless of how deplorable they are
Probably true when she was a kid, less true now as she has generally begun to assert her own position (politically and in terms of her career).
Swift has had fairly left-leaning politics for a while, considering the fact that she’s kind of a country-adjacent musician.
