    If you really want to hate Penn, watch his show Bullshit. Every single season has an episode on how environmentalism is bullshit. There’s also an episode on how NASA is a tax drain and should be privatized and one episode where they say the concept of peace goes against human nature and world peace can only be achieved through free-market capitalism.

      I remember being obsessed with the show when I was in my late teens. On one hand they convinced me in a single episode that pot should be legal and that lawns are a scourge on the world. The dolphin episode was an experience. But the anti environmental ones did put some brainworms in that took some work to get out. Doesn’t help that they were somewhat right in that recycling is sold as a cure when in reality a lot of recycling just doesn’t work as advertised.

      I haven’t seen any of it but I’ve heard of it. I know there was also an episode about how secondhand smoke isn’t harmful.
