Is Joe Rogan good for science? He gives a platform for a bunch of cool people, but seems to be completely unable to grasp easy shit.
Here he is describing the 9th planet, pluto, and life in the universe a few days ago.

He's a meme, get your science from /b/ instead. They are more reputable because they are anonymous.
Stoner talk is entertaining in moderation, but it's not promoting actual interest in science. They like cool facts, not mathematics and rigor.

I get the vibe from him that he is a smart guy but smokes way too much weed
Joe Rogan has evolved a lot since he started his JRE podcast. He is MUCH more skeptical now than he was before, and I think he's actually a positive force in the realm of skepticism and rational thought now (initially he was way on the opposite side of the spectrum).
I listened to that podcast and I didn't hear anything really nuts from him, but it's worth saying that he usually says the nuttiest things when he's with Bravo because he's one of his best friends and Bravo isn't very skeptical and loves conspiracy theories. Just go listen to the podcast 770 with Michael Shermer, if you listen to that you will clearly see that Joe Rogan has grown to become a very rational person, and it's a stark difference from Rogan a few years ago.

Joe a decent guy. He means well and his heart is in the right place.

This. His podcast is fun most of the time and he has some interesting guests. His stand up is also pretty good. Look up "joe rogan live" from 2006. The only thing he ever did that I really hated was teh Man Show reboot
Rogan might not be the smarter dude around but he is willing to learn and change his mind and that IMO says a lot of him as a person. Many people both smart and dumb are really stubborn and can't seem to change their minds even when the evidence is simply against them. But Rogan has changed his views over the years.

Joe Rogan is evolved. In fact more evolved than you. He's so skeptical he doesn't get anything wrong unlike your unevolved ass.
I listened to that podcast and I couldn't hear anything because he's more evolved than me.

>2 hour long video
fuck that nigger. Ain't nobody got time for that.

He is a giant ego and a chaddish dude-lmao attitude while still maintaining to sound like a pseudo intellect. Also a shit comedian who isn't funny and can't handle hecklers for shit.
>looks like a planet
>wait, is that the moon
>definitely a fucking PLANET
