Rogan is a contrarian, like he has to choose the conspiracy option because being mainstream means you’re a sucker. And he’s smarter than all us suckers because he always sees the secret conspiracy shit. It means he’s smart, not a sheep, not a dummy. He’s smarrrrrt.
Not a fan of Joe, but not once in his career did he “get hit in the head for a living”.
Unless you count him doing scoring points by landing a kick here and there at a handful of Tae Kwon Do tournaments when he was in his 20s or whatever (and you shouldn’t, because I don’t think they were allowed to strike the head, and he wasn’t doing it for a living).
Joe was/is an expert in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, a 100% grappling martial art, and anyone who would ever strike an opponent in the head, would no question be eliminated from the competition, and likely barred from ever participating again.
Due to this intimate knowledge of BJJ, Joe’s job at the UFC was color commentary. He didn’t actually fight anyone. That’s not like meant as a dig, it’s just the truth.
As someone who used to watch MMA back in the golden years (PRIDE NEVER DIE! Early 00s PrideFC is like nothing that has ever come before, or since. And nothing will ever match that shit again imo. Shogun’s 2005 tournament run? Fucking madness), Joe was a fantastic commentator. Shit, he wasn’t even a bad podcast host back then.
Dunno if he smoked too much DMT with Eddie Bravo or something, but it’s a bummer to see such a previously (actually) curious and open minded man go down this path… Especially given how many young, impressionable listeners he has.

To be fair, being smart is famously correlated with getting hit in the head for a living.

It was the Spotify money.
I seem to recall Joe Rogan calling himself dumb with some regularity. I stopped listening to him years ago; has that changed?
That’s just his “I’m just asking questions…”
To be fair he’s the world leading expert on Man-to-Man Anal.
At this point Trump is the establishment choice for dyed in the wool assholes of whom there are many.
Rogan probably endorsed him because of his antivax beliefs.
Smart with a capital 5.
No he’s not /s
I think you missed this users sarcasm
I was being contrarian to his mention of Rogan being contrarian. I should’ve added the “/s” to it. Oh well.
Rohan though never claims to be smart. Always just keeps saying that he’s a dummy.
