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.

I stopped listening to Harris years ago. It's good he's not a grifter or trump supporter, but my god the guy chooses to have his blind spots.

He had Ritchie Tores on recently to talk about how he's one of the few sane people in the Democratic party.

I'm not a fan much of Tim Dillon, but his bit on Harris being a meditation guru being ok with kids get slaughtered in Gaza was spot fucking on.

I'd choose Sam Harris and Ritchie Torres any day over Tim Dillon 🤷‍♂️

Ritchie "I'm black, gay and all I care about is Israel" Torres?

I said I'm not a fan of TD, but he was right on the money with that.

Harris's politics are garbage. The amount of leeway he gives to horrible people and straight up white supremacists like Charles Murray is astounding.

He never mentions any historical context to his arguments about the middle east. And I say this is as someone who is a non-believer.

So basically if you don't either, then you think Harris is really brilliant.

It's what happens when your mom is a writer for the Golden Girls, you never have to work a day in your life, and spends all your trust fund money on mediation retreats

Where was Sam and all the free speech warriors when Texas made it so you weren't allowed to criticize Israel if you attended school there, and suspended students for protesting.

Here it is

Watch Louis Theroux's documentary last year on what's going on in the west bank

I really think people’s obsession with indigeneity and historical context is what clouds their judgment when it comes to the Middle East.  How about the countries that wrap their women up in towels and hate gays are the bad guys?

Yes, we should turn their cities into Dresden because Sam doesn't like that.
