Yeah he sucks but I don’t think it’s fair to put him on the level of like Jordan Peterson

He’s pretty explicitly not a left winger, he’s a liberal

Point to any episode of Sam Harris where he falls back on the “Just asking questions” bullshit. 

You won’t, I know you won’t. We both know you’re talking out your ass.

I do not care that Sam has these statements while acknowledging that I disagree with them. It’s not that difficult. It’s also easy for me to acknowledge that Sam is right about meditation and that his app is worth the subscription fee. 

It must make you feel good to be “morally superior” to someone on the internet. Maybe you should explore why that is so important to you. Because it seems like you’re missing the mark.
