Joe we built the Hoover dam, the Panama Canal, the international space station, the James Webb space telescope.
The pyramids are not that complicated.

i gotta say, favorite ancient architecture is the Pantheon, wow
Rogan butchered that opportunity , such a midwit
It was as if Rogan is hearing some of these ideas for the first time, when they’re old ideas to everyone else. Pretty boring interview because of Rogan. He was trying to show thiel he was smart. He should have been asking thiel more questions. Thiel is a lot smarter than he is.
I turned it off , especially after Rogan kept dodging bitcoin everytime thiel brought it up
Yeah he kept pushing forward his ideas 😆 bro, shut up and listen to the smarter dude talk
Unfortunately his midwit is probably a big reason why he’s successful and relatable for many
Comics are generally not midwits; they have to be fairly intelligent. Rogan doesn’t seem to be dumb; he has excellent recall and can loop in a lot of different data points from previous interviews. But, he does tend to veer off into his areas of interest which are very speculative and offer no evidence. He also likes to create an air of uncertainty and wonder - perhaps that’s just the presenter in him.
Also, we have to remember that he talks to people much smarter than him, which can naturally make him seem stupid - but really, we’d all look stupid next to them.
