Part 5/12:
Rogan and his guest reflect on how contemporary online interactions—particularly the brutal crucible of social media—shape behavioral norms. They discuss how politicians, like some former city councilors during the COVID-19 pandemic, develop an immunity to public abuse by virtue of being exposed repeatedly to hostile remarks. This endurance is sometimes mistaken for strength, but the guest warns it may border on psychopathy—an inability to be affected by scrutiny or opposition.
