I agree- it's more like "don't debate the conspiracy theorists" since that's what RFK Jr is. And Rogan is just amoral- he doesn't care what gets said, regardless of impact, as long as he gets more listeners.

(to me, and I think probably you, "gaslighting" means to create fear, uncertainty, and doubt in other people by making them question their ability to interpret reality through psychological tricks)

I couldn't agree with you more, both on the definition of 'gaslighting' and the nature of people like Rogan who exist in the attention economy.
