A quick trip to the wiki tells me:
>Samuel Benjamin Harris (born April 9, 1967[3]) is an American author, philosopher, neuroscientist, and podcast host. His work touches on a wide range of topics, including rationality, religion, ethics, free will, neuroscience, meditation, psychedelics, philosophy of mind, politics, terrorism, and artificial intelligence. Harris came to prominence for his criticism of religion, and Islam in particular, and is described as one of the "Four Horsemen of Atheism", along with Richard Dawkins, Christopher Hitchens, and Daniel Dennett.

Sam Harris doesn't seem like your typical horseman of fedoras. He actually tries to engage in good faith philosophical debates.

I'm the anon you responded to. The real answer is that he's a total brainlet. Back when I was still a normie I watched his debate with Peterson and he couldn't at all comprehend the idea that people can choose to be immoral or amoral. He's a rationalist through and through and he seems to think that every human being on the planet subscribes to the rationalist prejudice, whereas there are plenty of people who would eagerly destroy themselves and society for the sake of pleasure, emotion, sheer wilfulness etc.

>You don’t leave the IDW by being civil, focusing on ideas, forgoing the ability to stick it to others, holding to your true convictions, or getting things right. I'm sorry, but that’s just not how this works at all. I shouldn't have to explain this, but you do it instead by being publicly dismissive of members of your group rather than their ideas, trolling, not paying attention to shifting situations like the election, getting captured by your audience, or getting it wrong and not noticing. If the IDW is a protocol as much as it is a group of humans, Sam continued to behave as a gentleman, while others were far closer to trying to leave the group, by at least testing the above boundaries.

Can you as an expert in the field, present us with theory of an "atheist logic" ? I assume this is the first logic that cares about its content and not the form, as (you) presented us with 2 names instead of any "atheist logical" law/principle that builds connection between those two.

This. He's pretty smart for a dude who doesn't read or try to question his fundamental world view. He keeps up with research, listens to podcasts and audiobooks, and debates with people who have miniscule differences of opinion from his own, and he thinks this puts him on the level of "intellectual."
He's a step above Joe Rogan, just as Hitchens was a step above him. They're all what a dumb person thinks a smart person is.

He was walking about culturally enforced monogamy (i.e. what we more or less have right now in the west) and that we shouldn’t be encouraging polygamy.
