Rogan is anything but a CNN or FOX anchor telling you, by inclusions and omissions, by intonations and eye-rolls, what you should think. Rogan does not pretend to possess the kind of authority over his audience that would allow him to tell them what they ought to believe. He is not a professional reporter. Thank God. He’s just a damned good conversationalist.

The wholesome post-postmodern man will approach the world like a small child who, whenever he comes across a good thing, picks it up, and tastes it, and smells it, and admires it, and stores it away “for later.”

In my opinion, it’s always better to take the good you find, when you find it. The real problem for us is that taking the good is insufficient. After you find a dollop of virtue, you need to put it somewhere.
