I highly encourage everyone to watch this creator's previous videos.

Continuing our investigation into how our current comedy era got to be so wonderful. They say that power doesn't corrupt, it reveals. Once a guy like Joe Rogan, the Comedy Czar, grabs hold of the reins of power, he can wield his power in any number of directions. We examine humanity's innate instinct to migrate, and where we head when there is nowhere else to go. How can the nature of subjective reality be leveraged and exploited. The complex psychological mechanisms behind the current comedy era. The powerful cult behind the destruction of everything that was ever good. Hyperreality, classic reality. And the cycles.

This thing is 1.5 hours long. Any indication of what it is about?

How Joe Rogan and his sphere of yes-men comedians were co-opted by billionaires with daddy issues (a recurring theme) to usher in a nation-wide simulacrum where anything can mean anything so techno-feudalists can rule with impunity. It also explores the death of satire and stand-up comedy as an art form, another recurring theme from previous videos.
