I fail to see what Sam Harris has done in his career that renders him an authoritative voice on much of anything.
Same. He’s a boring pseudo-intellectual with little thoughtful content to offer. Sophomoric.

Sam Harris is an enemy of God and has no room in his worldview to make any sort of moral judgements that mean anything.

I want to know clinically what Trump has done to the left. TDS went from a meme to a mental health epidemic.

The left went from mildly annoying to totalitarian rage screamers in 6 years and the only thing I can identify that’s changed is Trump.

The man has broken tens of millions of Americans mentally while presiding over one of the most financially successful presidencies in US history.



Like someone who responded to you... Trump brings out a 'tell' and they can't help themselves. He doesn't affect the normal.

And it's why I believe it's a moral imperative that he be re-nominated and win the White House as #47.

It will be like this guy singing into the ears of the left 24/7. My hope, heads explode.

If Americans can't see whats happening, the divide, the rhetoric, the fear from the left, then, they're just frick'n stupid. That goes for both sides, what ever that is.

I didn't watch the traitors address, if thats what they are calling it because, all they have left is TRUMP. They can't run on accomplishments.

Bold strategy Cotton.

I love seeing Trumpists condemning the political optics of this image. Admittedly, they are terrible.

Sooooo what’s his point?

I am not sure if Sam Harris is lying to himself at this point, or trying to prop up his reputation.

Brandon looks like Hitler and even sounds more like him.

arguments aren't compelling, and during a debate on morality he said STTE of "well, if you don't believe that you're just crazy and you don't know what you're talking about". Solid argument.


I think he is at his worst when discussing morality and ethical schemes because he comes across, and I believe is admitted to, not being well read on the mountains of literature humanity has put forward to try and grapple with the subject. It leads to him putting forward thinly veiled utilitarianism as a novel concept in The Moral Landscape, as if humanity hadn’t formalized utilitarianism and it’s flaws for centuries.

I didn't realize that but it explains a lot. He frequently acts as if he's presenting something novel and I could never figure out why. Because to him, it is.

Sam Harris has always been a buffoon.

I though his interview with that horrific piece of shite Ezra Klein might have snapped him out of stupidity, but I was wrong.

Short recap: Peterson pushed his shite in and left his vapid moral atheist shtick in ruins.

Jeez. Despite his critics, Trump never made a speech to call out half of the voters in the country, as the current admin has done. With piss poor presentation no less. Yes, the left cannot meme and they suck at presentation.

For Biden, this is a gaffe


This was planned for days, if not weeks, that by any definition isn't a gaffe.

Sam is a smart guy, no doubt, but this is the perfect example of intelligent people letting mob thought influence you.

for Trump, it would be a window into his soul.


Well, you have 4 years of footage. Go ahead, show a similar speech Trump gave on Russia-Gate believers. Show Trump calling pro-choice Americans terrorists, or Americans who are for gay marriage terrorists.

I can show you clips of Trump hugging the LGBTQ flag. Trump may have hated the media, but he never painted broad swaths of Americans as terrorists like Biden did.

Sam Harris just made his opinions on political matters irrelevant for at least a decade, unless he walks his insanity back in specific and clear terms.

He's perceived as exceptionally intelligent (I don't see it that way but most do) and he's an outspoken atheist.


Agree or disagree with his opinions on the supernatural, he has shown a propensity for intelligent conversation. He's not a 100 IQ person, not even close.

That said, IQ isn't a bulwark against mass formation psychosis. On 9 out of 10 subjects, Sam likely has a lot of insight to offer. Unfortunately for him, the most discussed topics today are political topics, and they tend to fall in the 1 out of 10 subjects he can't help but repeat woke response too.

About the only thing I can think of that Sam doesn't take a woke stance on is Islam. Even he admits that while Christianity might believe in myths, they're no where near as destructive as what Islam believes in.

Sam Harris basically has a bigger problem with Trump than his “character”. He believes Trump is a dangerous dummy who has dragged America down to his level. He also went in record saying he’s not a Biden or Clinton fan. He also said that he agreed with policies on the right and the left.

Also, to call foundational right of center policies as “Trump’s” policies is like saying the NRA invented guns.

I never suggested he was, I just don’t think he’s in rarified air. He’s not particularly intellectually curious or capable of introspection like Peterson, he’s certainly not a visionary like Jobs or Musk. He’s well above average but I could go to any of several top ten universities and pluck his equal or better out of grad school. He’s on the far right side of the bell curve, no question, but he’s not in the section that his standing would suggest. He’s celebrity-smart, like Black Science Man.
