Last month, Destiny featured on the Lex Fridman podcast to talk about multiple things. The show host invited the streamer to express views on topics like politics, Free Speech, Controversy, S*x, War, and Relationships. It was a four-hour-long podcast where fans learned deep insights about how Destiny broke down in views, plus some secrets from his personal life. The episode also turned out to be one of the bests, as it garnered massive views alongside a surprise appearance by Melina Goransson. 

Fans thoroughly enjoyed the long conversation between the show host and Destiny. However, a certain moment of the clip grabbed all their attention as it mentioned Joe Rogan. Apparently, Destiny went on to criticize Joe Rogan fans, calling out names over the Covid-19 controversy. He felt that the podcaster’s fans only adhered to certain beliefs and did no research of their own. And while everyone thought this was the end of it, Lex Fridman stepped in.

Destiny spills controversial opinions about Joe Rogan fans on the Lex Fridman podcast 

2020 was a horrific year as the world went through a pandemic. All countries announced lockdowns, allowing no human beings to step out of their houses. But as time passed, doctors and scientists invented the vaccines, helping the condition to settle down. The topic of vaccination gained massive traction as it was something nobody ever experienced. So, every person had his own take over the ‘blue bottle’ that posed as the magic potion of life.

While everyone had their own set of beliefs, Joe Rogan stayed true, claiming that it played a vital role. However, due to the multiple guests explaining their thoughts, fans developed mixed emotions.

This is something that Destiny pointed out years later on the Lex Fridman podcast, as he called them ‘anti-established.’ After his statement, it felt like the show host got triggered as he immediately asked the guest to explain what he meant. “I am a Joe Rogan fan, and I appreciate the vaccine,” Lex said.

Destiny started by mocking the people who claimed to do their research, but, in reality, made their opinions based on one podcast. “There’s a lot of emotion and emotion quickly solidified into an opinion that almost had nothing to do with, like thinking through and updating your knowledge and so on. You just made up a made up your mind,” Lex gave his explanation on the matter.

It looked like Destiny was never against the fact that Joe Rogan helped people form an opinion. Rather, he was against the problem that people formed opinions based on one episode without any research or further understanding of the subject/topic.
