I think that what makes Joe Rogan so dangerous is that he is so good at saying things with such confidence that people just believe him. He can outright say "I'm just an idiot and I don't know anything about this" and his off-the-cuff ramblings still sound like legitimate ponderings to people who also don't know anything about the topic, just because of the way he says them. It's scary.
