Give me one argument why this man is wrong. An argument that's not absolutely retarded, which can stand to be scrutinized, based on logic and which doesn't refer to leftist dogma or pseudo intellectuals like Noam Chomsky.

Wrong about what? Everyone is wrong about something.

He's also a pseud.

I quite like Ben Stiller. Even the later Meet the Parents schlock.

I mean it's not great cinema but it's also not wrong or reprehensible or whatever.

I fucking love Meet the Parents, my dude. It's a very comfy comedy people tend to dislike because they're told to, when shit that's way worse (The Interview, Ghostbusters, that movie with Channing Tatum and Jonah Hill) get praised for no reason whatsoever.

wrong about what? one thing i'd like to know though does harris believe in free will? i listened to one of his recent podcasts where he discussed black lives matter and all that. he doesn't believe in systemic racism because he thinks it removes black people's agency. how far does he grant personal agency to reach? logic would seem to dictate a more deterministic outlook on life, one might say 'systemic' but apparently not?

>>8473640
So, basically, "everything is fine, liberalism actually GRANTS free will (in which I don't believe when we're talking about political torture and murder)

I sort of feel I have to keep up with Sam Harris' thinking for shit like this, much like how I have to stare at road accidents and the like.

Wrong about what? He's said a lot of things.

>> No.8473832

He believes in an objective morality that can be experimentally discovered.
