Rogan continued,
“The bullsht today is fascinating because it’s social media bullsht, it’s a different bullsh*t than people have ever experienced in all of human history. These people that you don’t know chiming in about everything. The good part of that is there’s a sharing of ideas, and there’s a way of communicating that never existed before, and people learning so much more about things than ever before. Social media allows people to break news stories long before mainstream media. It allows people to tell you about fascinating stories that maybe you would have never heard of.”
