re: Sam Harris responds to Biden Address

That reminds me; anyone done a wellness check on FailFailtoMichigan?

Lets go Brandon fk joe Biden

I honestly had to look up who this pompous arse is. Now, I can forget what I regrettably took the few seconds to learn.

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.

It’s what’s so frustrating about him. He sees and knows what’s going on. Again, he’d agree with us at least on 80% of what we say, it’s just he can’t look past Trump’s personality. Like his latest podcast addressing Trump, he agrees with all of his policies save for tax… so you’re our ally whether you like it or not. But he can’t let go of the Orange Man. Sam Harris defends Ron DeSantis and would be fine with him as President, and DeSantis has almost all of Trump’s policies.

So does little ben shapiro. You know, the bitch that has a sister with big boobies.

That we’d all like to see.

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.

Him and Andrew Sullivan almost convinced me to vote for Hillary in 2016. They did a six hour podcast together pretty much addressed to people like me acknowledging what a monster Hillary Clinton is and then saying even with that why Trump would still be worse even if Hillary is more evil. It was a respectable argument, but obviously both of them have dropped that at this point. Thank God I instead stayed at home rather than vote for that witch.

He also said that he agreed with policies on the right and the left.

---

Last week he pretty much said he agreed with all of Trump’s policies. That next level TDS when you say basically all of his policies are good yet he’s still the biggest threat this country has ever faced.

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.

well said. I can find a subset of my colleagues with an active interest in philosophy that are just capable as Harris in engaging in a discourse trying to understand the world around us and are more well read on the literature to foster an even deeper conversation. Which I guess goes back to my point, I find it odd that this dude is propped up on a pedestal, and do not see why I or anyone else should care about his insights more than one any of those aforementioned colleagues.

Is being able to keep your cool in the face of opposition and talking in a calm voice really such a rare trait that this implies an a priori authority behind your opinions? I don’t think so even if it is a good trait to have, and when you get past his decorum and into the meat of his ideas I just don’t see what is so interesting there.
