I don't think him saying dumb stuff on his podcast is good evidence of a lack of intelligence. The podcast is an entertainment product, not an IQ test. Also, the likelihood of anyone saying something blatantly wrong/stupid is nearly 100% if you record them long enough and make them talk about a wide enough variety of topics.

I don't even wanna be defending Joe Rogan but it's just obvious that he's not below average intelligence, and pushing that propaganda contributes to the pervasive failure of the left to understand the grievances of the right. It's not as simple as all conservatives being idiots.

I didn't say that Rogan is dumb.

I assert something more along the lines of "Goebbels In Waiting".
