Every book is worth a read, even if you hate it.

Sam Harris is at his best rationally deconstructing current events. When he gets into new-atheism-as-new-age-dogma i turn him off.

>>9397377
Breh.. I saw a vid if him on big think about the illusion of self and another on psychedelics. Everything he says seems coherent and clear..

I gifted it to my mother. If it's good enough to gift it to her, it's good enough for you. It's quite accessible and I say that as a compliment. He's a writes very clearly. If you're well read in philosophy and the history of science, it'll feel a bit redundant.

He is a meme figure, but who isn't here. Read it and report back with another thread.

>>9397560
Have you read it?

>>9397369
lol

Yes

Harris is an eloquent moron. The only thing worse than his limp attempts at philosophy and dogmatic scientism is his support for Western imperialism

what about mine kampf, u fucking nazi??

>rationally deconstructing current events
when has he ever done this? I'm genuinely looking for an example of his no doubt thoughtful analysis.

>>9397664
yes, I did. Once he gets over the meme anti-deist stuff, his epistemological questions are worthy of a read.
>>9397680
>scientism
are you saying he claims that the scientific method makes epistemology a futile discipline?

Would you read the bible?

>>9397706
Just look at his podcasts.

>>9397736
if I am to look there you must guarantee me I will find rational analysis of current events, not obstinate gibbering and a constant insistence to defer to absurd hypothetical situations.

>>9397707
His scientism kicks in when he claims science can provide an ethical code

I've noticed that one thing liberals and the alt-light can agree on is hating Sam Harris. Who else manages to do this?

>>9398247
Why do they hate on him?

>>9398265
If you mean liberals, He never defends islam against criticism and called it "the mother of all bad ideas" once
If you mean alt-lighters, because he always rips on Trump

>>9397887
ethical code, yes. refute moral relativism, no.
