Conservative commentator Douglas Murray recently appeared on Joe Rogan's podcast, where he criticized the anti-intellectualism prevalent in discussions, particularly in regard to controversial topics like Israel and Ukraine. During a heated exchange, he challenged Rogan's choice of guests, highlighting their tendency to propound conspiracy theories or uninformed analyses. Murray stated that questioning without foundational knowledge is detrimental to constructive dialogue, asserting that merely raising questions does not equate to meaningful discourse. This segment became one of the most contentious moments in Rogan's podcast history, drawing attention to the ongoing debate over media responsibility in curating robust conversations.
It's pretty hard to listen to somebody who says, I don't know what I'm talking about, but now I'm going to talk,' or: I'm not capable of debating this historian, but I'm just going to tell you what I think.'
But if you throw a lot of shit out there, there's some point at which I'm just raising questions' is not a valid thing. You're not raising questions.
