Joe Rogan made me realize what a bigot I was/am.

Years ago I heard about his podcast, people would tell me randomly during deep conversations I should check out his podcast and it would offend me. I'd think to myself 'wtf? The guy from fearfactor? Why the fuck would I want to watch that? So I can watch some losers buttchugg donkey cum?'

Then one day I saw a he had a guest on I had been super interested in. I don't even remember what guest it was because while watching it my reality was dissolving - I saw the deep and profound questions Joe had and the off the cuff genuine conversationalist he was. It made me realize, I didn't know shit about him other than he was on that fearfactor show that I never actually watched. It made me realize I had built up an entire view of him in my head based on that one single fact and then I had extrapolated from it an unjustified opinion of his entire ethos and being. There is a word for that, and that word is bigot.

So now I try to pay more attention to my own opinions and thoughts, do I really know as much as I think I do about anything or anyone? Or am I just creating fantasies in my head and rationalizing them in my ignorance?

I'm so glad he's taking this stance publically and here's to hoping he doesn't get offed for it.
