When Joe Rogan shared meme claiming chaos happening at present was 'predicted in Hinduism thousands of years ago'
AUSTIN, TEXAS: Joe Rogan, one of the world's most famous podcasters, discussed 'Kali Yuga' and Hinduism in one of his Instagram memes, claiming "chaos" happening at present had been "predicted in Hinduism thousands of years ago." He called the current moment of political uncertainty and the pandemic "insanity" and said it was part of an unending pattern.
Rogan offered a typical illustration portraying a cycle in which strong men bring about good times, and good times bring about weak men, who bring about horrible circumstances, which bring about strong men. The meme was shaped like a political compass.
'Predicted in Hinduism thousands of years ago'
"We are in Kali Yuga," Rogan captioned the post. "The age of conflict. All of the chaos we’re seeing right now was predicted in Hinduism thousands of years ago. Civilizations move in predictable cycles, and we are in the lower left hand square of the chart."
