When I first saw David, he was discussing bitcoin on the JRE. It was a great episode! I feel Joe has a tendency to play devil's advocate to the point his skepticism informs his opinion more than objective truth - regardless he is an intelligent (though perhaps a bit scatter-brained) and kind hearted person. He has children! Most importantly he has a vast, largely educated viewership that needs to be informed appropriately on this subject. David is the only person I know uniquely qualified to represent our cause to his audience.
Please, if you agree, petition Daves youtube videos with me urging him to contact Joe. He monitors his comments, we have a voice. Thanks for all you're doing everyone. Keep pushing.

Did he ever go on Daily Show? If not, why not? Just curious.
This is a good idea. Start commenting on Joe Rogan's videos to this effect.

Oh, and to answer your questions no he has not been on the Daily Show. Last I heard the producer he was in contact with there was rephrasing the invitation to imply this discussion panel has not been (ie never will be) approved by the people making the final decisions

Ah, they likely got spooked by him. Had hoped for a total lunatic or well-intentioned dummy to step forward and be easy to take advantage of, and discredit through mockery and editing tricks. Likely something tipped them off that their usual tactics wouldn't work in this case.
But even ideologues like the people who populate the production teams of that show must know that they're playing with fire on a subject like this. Enough of them must know the truth to the extent that they understand there is a genuine risk of it all coming to light, and to have come out against it in a dismissive and belittling manner would only harm their reputation, perhaps even fatally.
