It's worth noting that NAD+ is well-known. Artificial supplementation I'm not so sure about, but it's inside you already. I...somehow doubt they're just injecting raw NAD+ but I suppose it could be?
Cyanide is also well-known and probably inside me already and yet I wouldn't be happy with someone injecting it directly into me.
I don't really care about the specifics of what they are injecting. I am objecting to how they are pressuring people, perhaps unintentionally, in the moment to accept the injection of a substance in which the injectee admits they don't understand. It is especially ironic considering Rogan's various comments about vaccines. Thousands of doctors can tell me that the COVID vaccine is safe and I am supposed to doubt them. One nurse tells me NAD+ is safe and I am supposed to believe her.

I am just guess of course, but I am pretty sure anyone able to achieve a CEO or VP title of a well known internet media company probably has the ability and determination to say the words “no thank you” if they don’t want something injected into their body when asked. I am neither a CEO or a VP of an internet media company, but just a normal dude, and I have no problem telling someone “no”.
Honestly have really reached that place where HN commenters feel that we have to protect wealthy and successful adults from big bad podcasting boogeymen?

Have we reached the place in which empathy must be conditional? I can feel bad for people who are put in an uncomfortable situation regardless of their level of success.
Angelina Jolie might have won an Oscar, have hundreds of millions in the bank, and was able to turn down his advances, but I will still feel empathy for her for being the target of Harvey Weinstein's sexual harassment. Rich and successful people are still people.

Empathy…is that what that was? See I took it as someone calling Joe Rogan a bully and belittling two successful intelligent adults as being effectively too simple and stupid to realize they were being bullied. Frankly, that’s far from empathy…that’s elitism.
