1. The problem here should be self-evident...

Its NOT "why" Joe Rogan did whatever he did...

The problem is why do people CARE what a middling stand-up comic and former fighter thinks in the first place.
The slavish devotion to asking "why" but getting the wrong question first IS THE ISSUE.

Rogan is never going to tell a tale that is remotely true. He makes his living off of sensationalist nonsense and a dude-bro persona that many mistake for authentic masculinity in an age of nonsense like the bandying about of "woke" as a catch all and the same old BS about why democrats are too effete and republicans are the 'alpha dogs' and real manly men. It is BS, but what else do people think falls out of that filthy hole under Rogan's nose? Wisdom? Truth? Insights?
