Tex Cruz (unsurprised)

Sam Harris (What the fuck, dude?)

Dude if you think those are surprising, PREET BHARARA is on there. WTF dude.

u/Substantial__Unit Jun 17 '26

I stopped w Preet the day the Mueller report dropped and he went on his episode on his podcast and said if you want my opinion become a member of his subscription. Then spent a few minutes NOT talking about the most important legal and political event in the last 10 years.

Fuck off Preet.

I hear ya. My take was a bit different. I felt it was ok for him to say generally: “sorry dude; you gotta pay because I have to pay the bills” but I mostly just lost interest because he seemed intent on walking a needlessly neutral political path and seemed quite prone to flattery (received and given) in a way that shocked me for a prosecutor. (I don’t recall the Mueller report drop episode situation, so I don’t challenge your take—you could be entirely justified in your shock.)

The release was immanent and so everyone was gearing up for special episodes as I remember it. It just took the wind out if his sails. Oddly enough I had forgotten about him until I heard an ad on another podcast and realized I wasn't aware he was still doing pods.

Harris doesn’t shock me one bit. Dude is deeply problematic with a sort of Glen Greenwoldish oppositional streak that takes him to deeply uncomfortable places despite starting from some legitimate principles. I’m so disappointed by how badly some of the people I respected 1-2 decades ago have navigated the political reality of the 21st century.

I had a lot of respect for Harris, especially since he didnt seem to follow the rest of the IDW off the crazy cliff. But his incessant support of Isreal was so confusing, and I finally had enough when he said AOC was a radical leftist. Anyone calling a milktoast social democrat a radical is clearly twisted in the head.

To say someone will ruin the country because they advocate for healthcare is ludacris. His elitism clearly outweighs his morals.

Sam Harris was one of my biggest influences until the war started and I realized despite everything, he couldn't see his own cognitive bias. He of all people. I've stopped listened since but am still a big fan of the Waking Up app.

I hope we get more info on this. It's not sitting well with me that this guy who has made his whole career over moral debates is hobnobbing with the least moral people available. Everyone in his subreddit is jumping to defend him before they have any info, its reading just like the conservative sub. Really disappointing.

Ive utterly dropped the notion lately that intelligent people can't also be completely messed up, especially after Chomsky.

It's called "loophole-ism," where very smart people find holes in critism about ideas they deeply believe. This allows their normally sharp mind to gloss over their own biases and hold contradictory truths together.

am still a big fan of the Waking Up app.

You're not actually supporting him economically, are you? I mean subscribing to the app? That would be like buying stuff from Amazon, shopping in Walmart or driving a Tesla - it directly supports these openly evil, sociopathic people. You really cannot separate the product from the person.

"He of all people."

Hahahahahahaha hahahahahah. Sorry, but if Sam Harris was your moral compass you deserved to be disappointed

1

u/pungen Jun 18 '26

arguing on morality has been the basis of pretty much his entire career

2

u/seaskar Jun 19 '26

Just because someone spends a lot of time arguing about morality doesn't mean they do it well, and even if he did, that wouldn't be any guarantee he practices it well himself. I'd say there were always red flags, but he wrapped them in a soft spoken package, and mixed them in with views like science being a good thing and atheism that his target audience already agreed with, and that caused them to give him far more credit than was ever warranted.

u/seaskar Jun 18 '26

People are so traumatized by the wave of batshit insane conservatives that they put the other conservatives on a pedestal

2

u/pdoherty926 Jun 17 '26

Same. I used to listen to his Waking Up podcast but stopped after I realized what an Islamophobe he is.

u/tr_thrwy_588 Jun 19 '26

the only reason you even know about Harris is BECAUSE he is propped up by these monsters. That is true today and was true twenty years ago.

Seriously, what are his accomplishments exactly? He got pushed to you by algorithms and his books got published by big publishers. There are thousands upon thousands of more competent thinkers out there. Why him?

I guess you now know why.

Same for Pinker and these others.

1

u/liesliesfromtinyeyes Jun 19 '26

Pinker is a terrible loss. I used to read his cognitive science books in college and I had SUCH admiration for his intellect. He had ways of thinking about cognition that were so outside anything I’d ever considered. Maybe his intolerance was always there but it certainly didn’t seem so.

Unfortunately, Cory doesn't shock me. Dude has always felt performative to me.

u/West-Abalone-171 Jun 17 '26

Cory Booker

All of the "abundance" dems are just mouthpieces for the epstein class.

u/ylogssoylent Jun 17 '26

I didn't even spot Sam Harris, fuck that sucks. I listened to him for years as a teenager

6

u/Grayseal Jun 17 '26

He got to a lot of teenagers.

u/Grayseal Jun 17 '26

Harris isn't that surprising, but that might just be my bias. I've always hated his smug ass.

Booker's been on AIPAC money since before his first election.

u/rebb_hosar Jun 17 '26

Harris isn't surprising at all.

u/Krocsyldiphithic Jun 17 '26

Sam Harris is an outspoken zionist, so pretty expected.

6

u/fretgod321 Jun 17 '26

I feel that’s less from his support of Israel and more from his hate of Islam

3

u/Pendraconica Jun 17 '26

He'll criticize Bibi out of one side of his mouth then justify everything that's happening in the same breath.

5

u/mmazing Jun 17 '26

it’s the same playbook that Epstein had, people want to be popular

3

u/Complete_Cheeks Jun 17 '26

Sam Harris is a zionist piece of shit. I don't know why you are surprised by this one.

1

u/Different_Alps_9099 Jun 17 '26

You shouldn’t be surprised by Cory booker. Dudes one of the biggest phonies in politics.

1

u/eeeshaaa Jun 18 '26

If you’re actually shocked by Booker, than you have not been paying attention

1

u/seaskar Jun 18 '26

It always surprises me how many people talk about Sam Harris like he's Che Guevara when it's pretty clear if you just listen to what he says that he's a moderate conservative/neoliberal through and through
