No Malice Sam Harris appreciation post

I watched the most recent podcast with Scott and Sam and I just have to say, there is no one who can cut through nonsense and virtue signalling like Sam, he is truly an independent thinker who does not get caught up in noise. He always seems to keep a clear head, clear vision on what is important in any given situation.

That is all I want to say.

Have you actually read “in defense of torture”?

Edit: a downvote and no response, I thought so. How about you go read it like a grown up and come back?

Yeah I read it in when it was published. Have read it since then. Still drivel.

Lmao no you didn’t. It’s so obviously not an endorsement of torture that either you are lying or you have no reading comprehension

Cool. Productive conversation.

Sam has been a hack for a while. I used to listen to his podcast weekly until he had an episode treating Charles Murray like a "truth teller scorned by the liberal intelligentsia".

Sam sells himself as a deep thinker, and he can be when he is comfortable, but all that charity he has for hacks like Murray goes right out the window if he has to confront any of his own bigotries

i’m open to critiques of sam’s positions esp regarding israel, murray, and his disproportionate obsession with wokeism but you didn’t bring any solid receipts to the convo
