Aaron Rodgers is pretty damn good at football. It’s a shame, then, that he’s so bad at many other forms of thinking.
While I’ll never hate on a guy for believing in a few conspiracies (lord knows I believe in a few myself), Rodgers appears to fall on the “slowly walk away from whoever’s talking” end of the conspiracy spectrum. He has allegedly floated the idea that the Sandy Hook shooting was not what the media claimed it to be, that Jimmy Kimmel had ties to Jeffrey Epstein, dabbled in a few 9/11 conspiracies and said some things about the vaccine that a lot of people got really mad about.
The problem with this kind of thinking is that it quickly becomes a worm in one’s brain. If you really believe that all truth tellers get killed, and that you are one of those truth tellers, you can do a little back-of-the-napkin math to come to the conclusion that you’re next on the Illuminati’s hit list.
That might be why Rodgers has apparently stopped watching porn.

In an interview with Tucker Carlson, Rodgers talks about his relationship — or rather, lack thereof — with porn. “They could put something on your computer to cancel you. They could set you up for something. Thankfully, me, I don’t watch porn,” he tells Carlson.
Carlson has made similar claims in the past, telling Joe Rogan that some lawmakers are “worried about someone putting kiddie porn on their computer.”
I wouldn’t put it past the U.S. government to do such a thing, but there are two major problems here, especially as it concerns Aaron Rodgers. First, he’s already said most of the things that many would believe he’d get canceled for and he’s still worth over $80 million, so I think he’ll be just fine.
Second, if someone *really* wanted to incriminate you, they wouldn’t wait until you watched pornography to “getcha.” Instead, they’d just throw it on your computer and say you looked at it, truth be damned.
Yes, that second point is pretty depressing. But on the upside, Aaron, you can now jerk it to your heart’s content!
