I said to explain how this is misinformation and dangerous, not show me episodes you don't like.

prohobo, you may wish to read the links for concrete answers to your request. The how is answered very directly, especially considering the bottom three links are all fact-checking sites that explain the how and the why.

But if you don't care to, we can move on.


I've read the articles: none of them explain how this is dangerous, and none of them have a compelling case that Joe Rogan or his guests intentionally lie to their audience.

What they do is make arguments against their points, many of which aren't verifiable or are just opinions.

I'm all for removing things that are empirically and logically "dangerous misinformation", but we have to actually prove it empirically and logically first. Can you do that?


Rogan doesn't have to be intentionally lying to his audience for it to be dangerous misinformation


There is no evidence that Rogan's opinions are either dangerous, or considered "information" by most people. Beware overusing this term or it will lose all meaning.


Intentionality is required for something to be misinformation.


misinformation: incorrect or misleading information
