Lex, great conversation with the amazing Sam Harris but why do you love your Coca-cola … you are an intelligent, healthy, fit person … you can do better, or is it cash motivated 😢
My man has lost his goddamn mind. Just admit you were wrong about some stuff Sam, my God. Must be exhausting having to continue this BS rather than just admit you were wrong.
Sam is a asshole who thinks he is smart, he has never been to war, he needs to shut the fuck up.
We can give our opinion about anything. It's my right as a human to speak freely about any subject no matter what. It's my right to be dumb and loud if I want to. It's not my righ to be certified or put in a position of power/authority if I'm not competent. I'm a little disappointed that an intelligent person as Sam Harris can't understand how democracy works. Matt Walsh too is saying that dumb people shouldn't be allowed to vote. I love them both but this is wrong and totalitarian.
Great TDS question Lex. Watching such a smart person be incapable of dealing with the issue. While laying out why trump is so bad or not so bad but still not being able to address the issue on the substance is truly remarkable.
Lex, if you truly want to show love, you do not give a person in Kanyes position a mic. You show love by protecting, and not hiding behind "love" so you can make a youtube video that goes viral. That is not love, my friend! It was so much uncertainty about his mental state and for you to diagnose him as healthy, shows no love, but a need to get this video out. Disappointed…
it is funny how he talks about people he doesn't like or he had a row with-like he understands them (but does not approve), or he wants to help (but either they are stupid or something and it doesn't work..)… this guy is full of himself…
Thanks Sam for your continued support of the scientific voice of reason on covid. I live in Vietnam and it's so clear to see the different results of a country where individuals put themselves above the safety of its community. Had they done as this country had done in January/February/March 2020 we likely would have had a much better outcome.
It feels like such a colossal waste of such intellect that the first 2 hours of this podcast is, essentially; a political discussion. Just a shame. Harris on neuropsychological topics is actually really interesting.
In a democracy, political parties have a very special responsibility to put forward only the very best individuals, with a strong moral compass, for high office. Failure to do so must be sanctioned by the electorate.
'Cheesy' is the most difficult way, but also most delicious and most beautiful of all.
today's post:Vernon Howard's
SECRETS OF LIFE (R)
*************************************************************************
"OPPOSE TYRANNY There was once a dictator who led his countrymen into
a war that ruined the nation. The citizens had agreed to the war because
they feared to oppose the tyrant. Connect this with your own circle of
life. Are you fearfully permitting an individual or a group to lead you
into strife and unhappiness? Live out this declaration of independence:
I am never required to cooperate with evil to my own destruction."
Lex: "Did trump break same harris' brain?" Sam: "REDDIT STYLE RAGE POST OF A RANT". Sadge. I love Sam on nearly ANY other topic but it seems there is no doubt, that trump broke sam.
Sam has made good arguments for following ones intuition in regards to possibly dangerous situations. I would love for someone to ask him why that argument doesn't map on to the vaccine issue for him. Clearly, we know enough about Pfizer, and about Fauci at this point to intuitively distrust them, and yet Sam finds no room to apply ones intuition onto this very delicate situation.
Sam Harris has definitely had the largest ‘intelectual’ downfall. At this stage he’s lower than Neil DT.
This guy raves on about antisemitism yet is clearly Islamophobic….
Had to turn it off half way through. Couldn't listen to anymore. How can someone so smart be so stupid?
God damn Sam is a coward. He really lined up at 4AM for the covid vax?
Sam Harris is a fraud.
Bring Yanis Varoufakis on !
Jesus the part on trump. He suddenly becomes the faux liberal. Just a tribal nonthinker parroting the side he is on. You can't work with people if you say you have no respect for anybody like them. You can't collaborate and accept others opinions if you don't value free speech.
Not every great scientific discovery and important organizational advancement made by humanity was made by people who think and feel just like you!
Why didn't you Talk about Joseph Biden?
We all knew basically right off the bat that covid doesnt mess with kids too bad.
"Can you steelman the idea that Trump gave you TDS?"
"Yes, the real TDS is trump supporters being stupid"
“our democracy”
Define “democracy” and who “our” is.
Hey Lex I absolutely love your podcast. I'm about two hours in, so far. I might actual go back a re-listen to count how many 'trigger' words Sam Harris used. For me its sad to hear someone who is labeled as a great communicator push away a large segment of possible listeners 🙁
Sam is completely broken. He looks terrible
I surf the internet to find more Sam on Trump! The entertainment value of this obsession is astonishing! He is the Poster child for TDS!!!
You're the Best, Lex!
Sam has crawled so far up his own arse it's unreal, can't admit fault, called the right everything except white supremacists, contradicted himself multiple times…
And to say he won't sit and talk with controversial figures is just plain dumb.
Unbelievable the bitterness this man has, especially for Brett who has been proven right multiple times.
Ugly human Sam, who would have thought that 3 years ago….
Sam is an embodiment of 'just because you're smart, doesn't mean you're an idiot'.
Same Harris is such a psychotic cuck
I love that Lex still cuts his own hair. I also love how Sam whittled him down to the bone on the Kanye interview, rightfully so.
Sam, you're not making sense
Outstanding discussion by Sam. I get the feeling that he convinced a few people that Trump really is a bad actor
awful guest seems super biased
I used to value Sam’s opinions as well as Sam himself. Sam lost his mind with Trump and is no longer respectable, much like Trump.
LEX I LOVE YOU AND CAN'T BELIEVE PEOPLE LIKE HARRIS EXISTS HE REMAINS ME CHAIM RUMKOWSKI DELIVERING A SPEECH IN THE LODZ GHETTO 1941. JEWISH OLD MAN WHO SENT THOUSANDS JEWISH INNOCENT PEOPLE TO DEATH CAMPS.
2:57:00 SH says about someones concern and focus when living with covid, "the thing I didn't do was make this my life." That is so great he didn't make covid center of his world. Meanwhile, in the real world… Lockdowns and pandemic protocols cause small business after small business to fail, homicide, suicide, and depression rates rise, families can't see each other, you know the rest. Right or wrong I'm grateful to Darkhorse podcast for making this GLOBAL PANDEMIC a focus on it's platform.
This guy wants us to believe "experts" over common sense and what our own eyes see. To much school and not enough doing possibly
I just realized Lex is a plant named Vash the Stampede here to save the human race through peace and love.
How can Sam say "Who cares" about the lab leak? Obviously there are people doing dodgy shit and it could happen again.
Sorry Lex. I really can't listen to this guy. He speaks as if voter fraud isn't a real thing. I'm sure the republicans are working three shifts to fraud 2024, just like the democrats did for 2020. He also forgets that many conspiracy theories have been proven true. There's nothing to learn here. Politics is a dead end for wisdom. I'm here for the wisdom.
Sorry. I lost sam at: it was not until I talked to ……. That I learned that you have to investigate such things ASAP because evidence can dacay. WOWWWWW Stanford special mind this man is ? I would love to count the times hé contradicts his own words throughout this whole conversation. From 9/11 to covid to aliens. Just wow. He is probably a type of human who can remember words very well. But not implement them as they come. He has to read or hear the additional equations before he can speak them. This man is not a who he thinks he is, intellectually. When he has to choose between the chicken or the egg he constantly picks the wrong one. 🤣 you could have been more sharp here Lex. Sorry, but you missed a lot of opportunities to hook him.
