His brain desu

>Harris was born on April 9, 1967 in Los Angeles, the son of actor Berkeley Harris and TV producer Susan Harris (née Spivak), who created The Golden Girls.

>>9140700
He's hiding that thing damned well, then

>>9140698
im guessing he was just fucking around with drugs and being an underachiever, and doesn't really want to talk about that publicly because his career depends on being taken seriously.

>>9140752
>Sam Harris
>taken seriously

By who?

>>9140698
Harris spent the early 90s in Bangkok, indulging himself on hard drugs and prostitutes.

>>9140757
Literally everyone that's not a regressive leftist or retarded trumple.

>>9140761
Seriously, no one takes him.

>>9140761
Trump is fucking awesome, numale cuck

>do MDMA
>go to India
>end up a materialist scientism collaborator

He did it wrong

>>9140752
My guess is witchcraft, Satanism, astrology, and alchemy.

>>9140767
my guess is fucking your mom

the first 5 years was spent finding her vagina cause she's so fat, then it took him another 5 to finish because she's so ugly, and the last year was spent in the shower because she's so smelly

>>9140778
I'm going to figure you out, Sam.

Are you trying to make the Wittgenstein face in this picture?

>>9140698
He was a slacker, now he's in entertainment, like his parents.
Nothing to tell.

>Jewish mother
>go to school in California

>end up a materialist, positivist, atheist STEMlord who thinks he still gets to be spiritual

How didn't just do it wrong. He fucked it up.

Ever notice how dudes who go on and on about being rational and "thinkers" are the ones who freak out when something doesn't go their way?

>>9140831
No. Any examples?

I bought the Moral Landscape yesterday, boys.

What am I in for?

Will I be able to derive an ought from an is after reading?

Will I defeat nihilism/relativism?

>>9140821
Advil?

>>9140839
Darwin, Kant, Schopenhauer

Wow, it's fucking nothing.

It's like you want me to think he's a joke.

>>9140856
I know a guy with a PhD in nuclear physics; he lives 2 doors down from my parents.
He has to pay an accountant to pay his bills because he forgets to do things like pay the electric bill.
He can't remember the birthday of his only kid.
He fell for the Nigerian Prince email and lost $8,000.
He is a Young Earth Creationist and insists that the world, the universe, is only 6,000 years old and that dinosaurs were killed in the flood.
Yet he is a very good nuclear physicist who is highly regarded in his field.

Degree != IQ

>>9140883
Seems legit.

>>9140761
No, no, no you misheard me, I said I was a CLASSICAL liberal: the post

>>9140883
Some people are only good at one thing. They are called autists.

>>9140914
So Harris is one of those guys willing to take all the classes, spend his parent's money, and over the course of years get a degree.
Having a degree is not an inoculation against being a dumbass.

>>9140942
People aren't aware how many decorates are issued every year, or perhaps they don't want to know, it kinda destroys the pre-tense of being apart of the intellectual elite when you realize that over 60 thousand people in America alone every year also join the club.

>>9141031
You could probably write for the Onion, you put about as much effort into your posts as they do.

>>9140993
Sounds like airborne status in the US Army. Might impress people that don't know better, but soldiers know that cooks and laundry clerks are airborne qualified.

>>9140856
>implying I'm not smarter than him

>>9141041
I'd feel pretty bad doing that, that's basically stealing jobs from eng lit graduates, they need it more.

>>9141041
you're a dumb fuck if you think academia is anything other than a pyramid scheme

>>9141047
You're probably not.

>>9141015
how so

>>9141057
You don't know me cunt

>>9141054
The important thing was that you tried.

>>9141044
I'm not really familiar with how the military works in any country, but isn't being a military cook pretty much a guaranteed well-paying job? professorships at non-prestigious universities regularly receive 400-500 applications.

>>9140858

From stanford it's something

>>9141075
The point I was making is to a civilian 'airborne' sounds impressive when it isn't.
Outside of academe 'I have a PhD' sounds impressive, but when you know that there are 400 PhDs fighting for an adjunct position where they might, *might*, make $16k a year and you get a lot less impressed.

>>9140712
Thank you for being a friend Sam Harris!
I always knew I felt some odd dispositions about this fellow.

>>9140843
Is it just me or is Sam Hyde going for a Mishima vibe here?
