Joe Rogan has that kind of ingratiating non-committal personality, you can see him side with opposing views on a topic depending on the guest.
Then stop listening to him, it's that easy. He's just a guy who speaks on a mic for 6+ hours a week. You don't have to put that much weight on everything he says.

It is so easy to criticise the reason I admire Joe , is his energy and stamina , listening to someone talk for 2 1/2 hours every day without getting bored or burnt out is an amazing achievement when you look at his age . In many ways we are benefiting from his testosterone use . His interview style is great because he let guests flow.
The problem is you're oversimplifying. Mental disorder, as well as the kinds and uses of anti-depressants is hugely varied. There is a lot of malpractice in prescription and in abuse, and often a lot of risk and ignorance behind diagnosis. I agree that there should be more stringent regulations and disclosure of risk. Psychiatry is still a relatively rudimentary enterprise. But one has to take it on a case by case scenario. Simply saying anti-depressants are bad is moronic. A lot of people benefit and are even saved by them. Some people cannot literally be sane without them.
Oh, and yeah, Rogan is a complete bozo.
Yeah I see what you're saying and I can appreciate that, I've just never seen one instance where it was a solution to the problem, It's a bandaid fix at best for self wallowing people who'd rather have a pill they can pop than face their issues and fix them. Just from my extensive experience. My lady a neuroscientist too who does mad work with AD and she's the first one to call em out on their bullshit. If I cared enough I'd try and get some scientific data to support my opinion but I dont lol.
Certain people with MAAAAD mental illness really need em to survive and it's simple as that, but for everyone else who just has problems they need to work out its a total shit show. Anytime you're trying to chemically alter the brain you're gonna run into problems science isn't definite it's just the best course we have via trial and error and chemical synthesis. For some people it's absolutely needed I'd agree, but for a lot of people it just ends up a crutch and subsequently chemical dependence. They're chronically over prescribed to teens as well and in every case I've ever seen it damn near ruins their life. Seen a lot of suicides in people close to me cuz the doc chose to dope em up to the eyeballs on chemicals rather than acknowledge puberty a tumultuous time for a human being lol.
I notice on his podcast with the Kevin lee and Tyron he still tries that white supremacy shit not believing things from the black fighters pov I mean damn he doesn't agree at allRogan and his "fans" are drug-brain-fried morons.
He folds immediately to anyone's opinons on his podcast that are more alpha (5'7 and above) than himself and thinks that the weed he constantly smokes has made him unique.
He shits on anyone that is on antidepressants or anti anxiety meds because they alter your state of mind chemically but constantly smokes weed to not be in his own natural state of mind - chemically.
Other thing I noticed too is that some of the guests he has on the show, he tries to impress them with how much he knows about their area of expertise, and constantly interrupts them with fact dropping.
I remember him constantly doing that to Michael Ruppert both times he was on, and Michael would be speaking on something and Rogan would just interrupt him and start fact dropping, and you could hear Mike sigh every time it happened lol
Bit abnoxious at times.
Man you mentioned two of my favourite guests victor conte and michael ruppert. Those were the best podcast years in the icehouse, before his podcast became huge.
