The core of his appeal was/is that he was/is an average Gen X macho meatheaded dudebro who is an idiot, but also thinks he is clever in ways most people donāt appreciate, thinks that his ācommon senseā is sufficient to sniff out bullshit.
He is an aspirational figure for millions of older male losers, a father figure for younger male losers / kids from broken families.
He is also basically a near perfect embodiment of the Dunning Kruger effect.
In fact, Iām just gonna directly shill this video from the Elephant Graveyard here, it is recent, and an utterly phenomenonal explanation of ā¦ what Joe Rogan has done to the ācomedyā scene, and wider society as a whole.
If Jordan Peterson could just cut back on his use of multi-syllabic words heād blow Rogan out of the water.
LoL, but thatās Perersonās whole personality. Pretending that heās the smartest man in the room by using big words that he believes no one else knows the meaning of. And to the empty headed morons who actually listen to him, heās right.
He really is unbelievably dumb. Unfortunately millions of people donāt realize this, or donāt care.
No, its worse than that.

Exactly! Dude is a walking talking confirmation bias.
Andrew Tate teaches kids to think stupid things.
Joe Rogan teaches people to think in stupid ways.
