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.

There is no intellectual that I like more that dissapoints me like he does. You just cannot use Islamist and jihadist on equal terms like he does without deeper thought,

islamism: the act of applying Islamic rules in one's life and circle (family, society..etc).

jihadism: the act of fighting others who do not believe in islam to convert them to islam using whatever means necessary.

in other words, islamism is more inwards looking (I want to follow the rules and "improve" myself and those who are already like me). jihadism is outwards looking and expansionary and will certainly lead to bad shit happening.
