Fantastic video thesis. My only critique is that I'm not sure Joe Rogan has the capacity to do any of this intentionally. He simply has a fragile enough ego required to be played like a fiddle by the real puppetmasters, and by happenstance had enough connections to the legitimate stand-up comedy scene that he could be used as a trojan horse to poison that field of endeavor, which once served an important truth-telling purpose in our society. Comparing him to Marshall Applewhite is kind of a stretch, because Applewhite was a mastermind while Rogan is sort of a useful idiot. Heaven's Gate is the vision of a man who'd gone insane, whereas the Comedy Mothership is more what happens when a hack comedian without a coherent worldview is given unlimited money by techbros on the unspoken understanding that they would stop hanging out with him if he ever dared to disagree with them, and that hack comedian is surrounded by desperate, unknown hack comedians willing to debase themselves for a chance to become just a bit more famous. Rogan has no vision of his own.
