I used to be into Sam Harris. I got bored of it, and I got into Jordan Peterson, because he made the world seem more exciting. Then I realised Peterson was probably bullshit, and was having a negative effect on my mental health. Then I got into Contrapoints and PhilosophyTube, which seemed amazing at the time. Now, I'm realising they're only good when they're deconstructing someone like Peterson. I can't actually retain their ideas. I couldn't explain the ideas in a conversation to someone.

Now, I'm thinking that Sam, and someone like Steven Pinker, was probably just right all along.

Anyone else been on a similar journey since about 2016ish?

Also, if you think I sound like an idiot, you're right. I'm just trying to be honest, and to see if anyone feels the same way.
