I used to listen to JRE when it was just about wacky coast-to-coast-am type stuff, comedians, drugs, and mma. One of the lingering quotes that stick in my mind is Joe talking about how when someone is being an idiot or antagonistic, he imagines them as a little baby. How they used to be a blank slate of potential and now there’s a long story leading up to this encounter. It apparently helped him calm down and try to be level headed.
What he was talking about is essentially sonder, “The profound feeling of realizing that everyone, including strangers passing in the street, has a life as complex as one’s own, which they are constantly living despite one’s personal lack of awareness of it.”
Anyway, JRE is total garbage now and has been for years and years
I enjoy the Joe Rogan Experience
Why though
Because I like to listen to rational voices outside a woke narrative.
Lmao rational? He is just a goofy guy that talks about what he thinks is cool and can’t stop believing any bullshit he gets told. “Woke” is a dumb word but at least that part of your opinion makes sense as a description of the podcast.
I didnt say him, I meant his guests. That word is used by legitmate organizations and is an adjective. I dont see how you made that connection. Your opinion is yours, like I have mine.
You should feel bad about that
I do not
Never forgive. Forgiveness was invented by religious clergy who wanted us to forgive them for their crimes. Rather convenient.
As a hardened atheist, I have to give it to the christians when they get something right, and forgiveness can be a powerful force for good.
Don’t forget, but do forgive.
