I'm not personally shocked by things he says, I just think he's not particularly smart and I think he tends to have the same thought processes happening over and over again, which weren't particularly more than sophomoric insightful to begin with.
At best I think he might be useful to discover interviewees that actually have interesting things to say and go from there.
What I am shocked by (and I suspect this is the shock people mostly have) is how some people are like, Joe Rogan fans. Like the article author here. To the point he's the one guy he mentions in the article. He just not that interesting!
Joe Rogan has built a massive business by being interesting and talking to people from all backgrounds, while having a very fascinating history himself. He may not be a nobel laureate but it's quite silly to think he's so dumb, or that others wouldn't find his conversations, topics and personality to be entertaining.
All the fans I've met are Joe Rogan fans in the same way as other people are BTS fans or Ariana Grande fans. They don't really worry about precisely how smart or insightful he is - they just see him as a cool guy producing content that's fun to listen to.

Why does this shock you? It’s pretty clear from what you wrote that you’re much smarter than the rest of us. It shouldn’t be shocking that us dumb ppl are fans of a dumb person?
