Last year Russell Brand had him on his podcast & our entire live group on Locals had all turned into Sam Harris NON-fans well before the end! His arrogant hypocrisy was all over the place. Then he led a live meditation that had a good number of us moving out of meditation mode & back into live comments about how awful it was. I’ve never heard such a poor & also fast paced ridiculous meditation. We were laughing at the notion of paying for an app to hear more of them. I’d have paid for him to stop doing it.

Yes, he seems more concerned with his celebrity than would a legitimate spiritual guru. The latter, in my experience, tries to behave in accordance with higher principles. Traditionally, as you pointed out, love and compassion.

I think you’re on to something. One surely can’t spend all day thinking, and never make any forward progress. He’s going backwards, actually, relative to the growth of available data.

I was referred to that infamous podcast between SH and Eric Topol in early 2020 as a source of convincing arguments in favor of the Vax. Never having heard of SH before , my initial reaction to his opening comments was: 'this is definitely not the sort of person I would willingly listen to nor trust to take his advice'. The narcissistic arrogance of the man was immediately apparent in his tone of voice, and was confirmed by the shallowness of the ensuing discussion - all smug 'holier than thou' opinion and no fact. Also the same from the so-called medical expert that he was interviewing. I gave it thirty minutres and then switched off. So much for compelling arguments to take the toxic gene therapy masquerading as a vaccine!

Maybe it says something about me, but i've never heard of Sam Harris. And i usually don't let people influence what i think about someone i've never met or don't know, but i'm going to make an exception this time. He just looks too much like Ben Stiller

I’ve never listened to or read anything by SH, and had never heard of him until various Substack writers were talking about his ridiculous stance on Covid. He sounds like an asshat who takes himself way too seriously…

While I was reading your article I thought of the guy on the yt channel Full Spectrum Survival.

Joseph Mercola has made unexpected changes.

I posted a Substack about him his changes and his supposed tranch master.
