Theo Von is a dumb fukk, just like Lex Fridman, and just like Rogan and the rest of the disaffected white dude podcast network. Just because they bring on people who don't exactly fit that mold doesn't mean they're actually open-minded or trying to foster diverse ideas. It's more about putting on a show of "intellectual curiosity" while steering listeners back to the same narrow perspectives on culture, politics, and society.
They stay giving a platform to ideas that amplify misinformation, long debunked pseudoscience, racism and other forms hate, wrapped in humor, pseudo-intellectualism, or vague claims of "I'm just asking questions, bro!" The inclusion of a few diverse guests is just a superficial tactic, a smokescreen, to lend credibility to their network without genuinely engaging with different viewpoints or challenging the biases that keep their audience loyal and misled.
