Anyone notice how basically every "philosopher" type like Sam Harris, even the left ones, are all now basically universally calling the current far-left shit a cult? Douglas Murray, some others too.
You would think when your own side's bright minds start telling you hey you're acting cultish they may listen. But no. Just browsing the Reddit thread for this episode it's like they all find just 1 or 2 things to knit pick Sam over to dismiss the entire overall message and keep on believing their cult shit.
Facts and science until they push up against my established beliefs. Them it's deny deny deny.
Used to kind of like Harris until his constant Trump bashing started. Glad to see him call out the insanity of the left

I think Murray identifies as a conservative now.
At any rate, Sam Harris is an idiot savant. I’ve never listened to someone as smart as him in some ways but unwilling to reach the logical conclusion.
He knows Islam is dangerous, but for years chided the right endlessly while embracing the leftists.
