Yea, I saw most of this pod cast last week. It was interesting.

I would recommend it.

that dude had a full on pandemic chubby. babbitts love a good viral outbreak, they get to spring into action and be the authorities over everyone. they get to shame censor their critics and the public at large is so terror stricken it just mindlessly complies with every last edict of babbittdom.

I tuned out when Schmo Brogan started running his ignorant mouth about vaccines and that sleazy babbitt fuck didn't set him straight.

So, one of the reasons why I tune in to Rogan is to watch the interaction between himself and his guest. It makes for excellent viewing if you like to observe dynamics between people, so it’s very educational from a psychology perspective. His interview with Debra Soh was perhaps my favourite so far and his recent pc with Shannon O’Loughlin - also wonderful.

But the Osterholm pc was not a dynamic I enjoyed. I felt Rogan lost his autonomy of opinion for some reason... I almost felt like Rogan had been overpowered and it made me sad. There was a dishonest vibe being emitted from the gentleman and I wish Rogan hadn’t been his vehicle.

That’s all...
