When defending profiling, Sam Harris, as a means to pre-emptivley defend himself from accusations of hypocrisy, asserts that if authorities had received a report that Ben Stiller had committed a crime - he would accept the near inevitable discrimination he would receive (as someone who resembles Ben Stiller).

He looks like Ben stiller, Ben stiller has his keys stolen by Dexter, a Capuchin monkey in the film Night At The Museum.

>>9129601
>"Bruder, kann ich etwas Gäld habe?"

>>9129621
or did Maajid steal his keys?

no. he's smart. it's actually frustrating how un-wrong he is b/c utilitarianism is...just so boring.

he's a cool guy and deserves his cred. makes me realize how dumb i am.

>>9129669
he does have blindspots—Israel certainly, and he does hand-wave lot of US malfeasance on the basis of 'intentions'

>>9128862
As a Calvinist, he's pretty much always "wrong."

Why do you make this thread every day?

that guys a dumbass who got other ppl to write his thesis for him and has no background in his so-called field OP

>>9129582
>>9129588

You guys have a problem with profiling? Are you serious?

he shouldn't have spray painted jinxie's tail

>>9130717
his example is retarded because his face resembles ben stiller's face
the profiling people generally talk about is profiling by race or religion or nationality (or both)
it's not like police mistaking him for ben stiller, it's like police mistaking him for brad pitt

>>9131093
>it's like police mistaking him for brad pitt
I phrased this terribly
it's like the police looking for brad pitt and arresting harris because he's white

Why is /lit/ so obsessed with Ben Stiller? I see threats about this guy every fucking day.
Does anyone even care about him among Anglo/analytic circles?
