Great clip from Sam's podcast: This is how the left will die

Very smart man, Sam Harris. But the left, not being able to argue within the same stratosphere of concise dialog as him just call him a racist, a bigot, and a Nazi. It's really, really sad that Nazi has now become a meaningless insult, when that should be a serious accusation.

He's without question my favorite public figure. He should be president with Hirsi Ali as veep.

The right did that with commie and the left did it with racism. Its just a dog and pony show geared toward emotion.

So you're saying I'm going to hell for saying Sam Harris is a smart guy?

WWII vets and Holocaust survivors should hate the Left for calling everyone Hitler.

Sam is an atheist but I don't care. I enjoy listening to his thoughts on everything because he always uses logic to make his points instead of emotional drivel like 95% of people. I respect that.

The art of rhetoric "Ethos, Pathos, Logos" is lost on most people.

He's a classical liberal, which honestly this board shouldn't have much of a problem with. He's for free speech and thinking. He's entirely opposed to Leftists.

Indeed. I listened to him have a discussion with another intellectual about philosophy/science/truth and I couldn't believe people actually explored those mind-warping wormholes. Makes you realize just how oblivious most of us are.

Don't have a problem with Sam Harris, but I do remember when Dan Carlin made him look kinda silly on Common Sense a few years ago.

As should the label racist.


What's scary is a terrible candidate in Hillary won the popular vote by 3 million. Fact is, these leftists are the prevailing majority of thought.

Trump just ran a better campaign in the states that matter. It still worries me that the culture in this country won't change soon

Honestly, Trump and Hillary's campaigns will be studied by political analysts for millennials to come, much like how Caesar and Napoleon are still studied today. I really think it's thoroughly possible that Hillary ran the single worst campaign in world history. Pretty much any way you can frick it up, she did.

Trump really reminded of Brian from "The Life of Brian". He would just say outrageous shite almost daily that would ruin any other politicians career. Instead he got even more popular. To lose to him, you have to be the single worst politician in the history of the world.
