Fuck off Sam, the only person who thinks you are a genius is you.

love the file name! thats definitely what harris deserves! BOOM!

IQ is liberal Bullshit

I'd love to see some of these city boys wrassle some alligators

Sam Harris: evidence you can be a cuck and a cunt at the same time.

Most of the time atheists try to point out those geniuses are one of them, just like how gays do the same with an attractive celebrities

i think its more they are atheist and alienated by the conservatism so they tend to accompany left leaning individuals.

this

>harris
>genius

he's totally redpilled on muslims, but his shilling for hillary was disappointing. the jew works on i guess

>genius
>gets BTFO'd by a christian apologist

yeah, right.

They are softer than loon shit

I liked him in Zoolander, quite entertaining. But "genius"? Come on, don't exaggerate.

>IQ is liberal bullshit

Well I guess that THEY WUZ KANGZ after all.

Are you sure you aren't a nigger?

sam blinkers on about israel harris.

calling him a genius is kinda stretch

harris has never been BTFO. What are you even talking about?

As opposed to most of the other mid to right leaning intellectuals that the left loves to hate, Sam went full retard with his shit about Trump getting elected being the end of the world as we know it. Lost a lot of respect for him after that.

harris is a fucking joke in philosophy circles

Openly say anything right wing and you will have lots of hate upon you.

>ever having respect for sam harris

>genius

hahahahhahahhahah

Thing is, the premises leftism offers make sense on their own. Pretty much anyone who is right in their head can admit no one chooses how they're born. This is what makes racism so repulsive to your average leftie.

Problem is, this premise is unsustainable in grand picture but you won't find that out with the info the average person gets to see. You need some sort of experience, evidence to see that. No one speaks about blacks having an enourmosly high crime rate or their IQ, so a lot of the more relevant things pass by and distort our conclusions.

B-but he majored in philosophy as an undergrad... M-maybe philosophers are stuck in nonsensical thought and won't budge... That's it... Calcified and resistant to new ideas... L-like Sam Harris: thanks to S-sam, we know that Hume is dogma, and was just plain wrong. You don't need an argument why, you just have to say it.

being left wing makes them more money
it's all about the money

have you ever thought that america's class system was based on political correctness so the smarter you are is the more likely you are to publicly endorse opinions that would socially benefit you?

Sam harris is a cuck and as 'smart' as he is, most of his intelligence is spent masturbating his ego. Cannot even refute or compete with basic theological assumptions and he has tried hard but they completely fall apart with even just a little bit of abstract reasoning.

It couldn't possibly have anything to do with the entire academic field having been taken over by communists, could it?

>Sam Harris
>Literally NOT a neuroscientist
>genius

An introduction to his Phd thesis, in which he performed NONE of the experiments:
shadowtolight.wordpress.com/2015/01/07/neuroscientist-sam-harris/

A detailed analysis of his PhD work:
wmbriggs.com/post/4923/

Man is a fucking glorified jew. He is totally overrated.

wrassling alligators is more impressive than sitting in your mom's basement playing video games for 10 hours a day, i'll give you that much

Maybe brilliant righ-leaning minds don't get enough attention since they go against the bias of a leftist dominated narrative. In general I believe things are more difficult if you're open about certain controversial beliefs while working your way up the ladder. Eventually you'll get stuck somewhere while the uncontroversial liberals get ahead

With this in mind, perhaps many successful people are secretly more right-wing than the public might think

He's not really a liberal, he is based when talking about Islam and PC culture.

He got BTFOd by literal retard Glenn Greenwald.

Ever heard of Lubos Motl? He's known on /sci/.

>brilliant string theory researcher and polymath
>got kicked out of his research position for refusing to accept the censorship of "political correctness"
>has his own blog where he comments on scientific and political issues

The guy is red-pilled as fuck, raging eloquently against the totalitarianism of the left. I wouldn't be surprised if he browsed Sup Forums.

>Sup Forums not realizing that Sam is the most redpilled liberal right now

He's for racial profiling of muslims and against political correctness and EU refugees. Wake the fuck up. He literally gets attacked by liberals all the time.

ignoring adolf hitler

Because science and other academic endeavours require lots of funding without immediate financial return.

Therefore he advocates socialism insofar as it allows the government to properly invest in long term scientific goals, and hence the technological progression of the human race

All atheists would be right wing as fuck if the right wing hadn't been overwhelming Christian since forever.

>harris has never been BTFO.

On a daily basis by academic philosophy departments, yeah.

He does deserve some props for taking utilitarianism to its end and proposing a scenario in which he'd support torturing a terrorist/enemy.

so red-pilled he supported bill clinton's wife and ranted against trump at every opportunity

youtube.com/watch?v=2E4xXiqyEb0

Jew or Polish?

Czech

>Jew is against mudslimes in his kosher country safe space
>therefor he is red pilled
No.

And shilling for Hillary was the final proof.

kek

>geniuses
found your problem, Ben Stiller and his Cohorts from Night at the Museum (Ricky Gervais, that dude with the beard, and the dumb monkey-rat) are not geniuses, they are just swindlers looking to make a few bucks off of unsuspecting Redditors and trendy libs.

this, and world of academics is really pretty insulated from the rest of the world so you become soft and idealistic rather than realistic

>Left leaning

I find your analysis entirely too shallow. Take Bill Maher. Left claps like excited retards when he bashes Christianity "CAUSE THOSE REDNECKS DON'T BELIEVE IN MULTICULTURALISM GOSH". Two weeks later he gets shit on by the left for bashing Islam for being as much of a problem as Christianity and the Left flips the fuck out.

They're too stupid to realize that someone like Maher would be against religion as a whole. They're too stupid to realize that Assange is against authoritarianism as a whole. That's why they applauded him up until 2009 (End of Bush Admin) and hated him ever sense because he attacked the Obama administration and Clinton as well.

They are entirely too idiotic to realize any of this irony so tl;dr putting someone in a political camp based upon their religious or spiritual ideology is retarded.

Cause they believe in empiricism and think one level higher than the general population. They learn to ignore particular religions and then this usually leads to losing all spirituality.

human intelligence != general intelligence

human's have a bias that pollutes intelligence

just google William Lane Craig. totally annihilated harris in a debate.

harris is a fraud.

that's a jew!

why do you think he is a genius?

>dude drugs lmao
No.

>Sam Harris
>genius
KEK! Nothing more than an overhyped JewTube e-celeb. Contributed nothing of significance to neuroscience, so he went all "new-aethiest" for the sake of his own ego and a quick buck. Literally none of his "logical thinking" or "insights" are anything that didn't dawn on me when I was 13 years old.

I opened my Talmud to read Baba Kamma 37b. The quote you have is nowhere to be found.

He has no background in neuroscience!
This kike has a BA in philosophy and that's it!

I usually like Sam but his autistic screeching about Trump has become so fucking annoying.

I didn't find that debate but this guy seems pretty lame. "Big bang happened... you can't explain that! Therefore intelligent, personal God"

If he's said anything worth listening to please link it.

Not disputing your second point, however.

Isn't it basically the same with Dawkins? And all the other muh god delusion nu anti-theists? Dennett, too.

at least Dawkins has the balls to say that race is NOT a social construct

>Sam Harris
>Genius

>all these people saying he was 'shilling for Hillary'
If you can say that you probably didn't understand how lukewarm his ""support"" was- he made it absolutely clear that he only voted for her as the lesser of two evils. He spent the podcast before the election with Andrew Sullivan shitting on the Clintons as opportunistic moneygrubbers for like an hour. Even if you don't like him you have to admit Sam is intellectually honest and you can see how Trump's anti intellectualism and disregard for truth and inability to ever admit fault with anything would turn people like Sam off.

Only to say that it doesn't mean anything at all in anything significant and held a speach at EU compounds to shit on Brexit for xenophobic biggotry.

>xenophobic
>implying
KILL THE XENOS!

Nah Dawkins has contributed pretty heavily to science and I think he has PhD. Also, he invented memes

Actually he's pretty based

youtube.com/watch?v=-5KF2_zgIzQ

95% of his critique of Trump was how he was a liar blabla.. he didn't give one shit about Hillary's lies.

Lesser of two evils is irrelevant, that's always the case in US elections.

what he said was something like "race definitely exists, but it shouldn't matter, we're all human". if he left out the second half he'd be in trouble.

>atheists

Because religion is bluepilled retardation.

>left leaning

This doesn't make a lot of sense to me. It's completely illogical. I'm guessing it's because they were bullied in high school and have a mental bias due to trauma.

He's sort of redpilled on jews too:

"The gravity of Jewish suffering over the ages, culminating in the Holocaust, makes it almost impossible to entertain any suggestion that Jews might have brought their troubles upon themselves. This is, however, in a rather narrow sense, the truth. […] the ideology of Judaism remains a lightning rod for intolerance to this day. […] Jews, insofar as they are religious, believe that they are bearers of a unique covenant with God. As a consequence, they have spent the last two thousand years collaborating with those who see them as different by seeing themselves as irretrievably so. Judaism is as intrinsically divisive, as ridiculous in its literalism, and as at odds with the civilizing insights of modernity as any other religion. Jewish settlers, by exercising their "freedom of belief" on contested land, are now one of the principal obstacles to peace in the Middle East."

from The end of faith

>He's for racial profiling of muslims and against political correctness and EU refugees

He's jewish. The only reason you think he's based is because he hates muslims because he's jewish like bill mahar.

No. He didn't. Stop being an apologizer for this cuck.

For example? And he didn't invent memes.

Fuck off LP (leftypol)

The real problem is that Harris is a faggot who abused his listenership with boring, hysterical rants. His ego is so out of control that he thinks if he doesn't wail loudly enough he will somehow be morally culpable if the world goes sideways.

Also, he was wrong about the election, which makes it all worse. Now he seems to be spending most of his time repackaging Bostrom's ideas about AI.

I still keep a podcast subscription in case there's an interesting guest but most go straight in the trash.

This. Similar with Trump tbqh...

(((Sam Harris)))

he coined the fucking term

He invented the word "meme"; what, you're not afraid of an African Intellectual, are you?

His last podcast was pure crap, I am not listening again.

Jesus Christ, this climate change denier. His book was funded by Mr. Klaus' think tank.

underrated post

His ideas about the selfish gene are pretty important and shaped how many biologists think about evolution. I think a couple of his books and pretty good for helping people understand the driving forces behind evolution, even if his ideas are a bit dated.

He coined the term meme

>red pilled
>liberal
Red pilled is not an adjective. There are not levels of red pill
You are red pilled or you aren't. He is not.

I thought I was well versed in evolution but The Selfish Gene was still a little mind blowing. Would recommend

The selfish gene is falsified and I think it is an abhorrent theory that befits an abhorrent person.

Dawkins usage of "meme" didn't mean as what we use it today. He equated Christianity and its teachings passed down as traditions with memes for example.

hes not as smart as he thinks he is. look at another genius like Grigori Perelman who doesnt even give a fuck about social relations, which is how most act.

You can do a PhD without a masters?

Didnt't the fucking ancient greeks make up the term meme? How can this kike take credit for it.

>People always said I was smart.
>Get perfect grades throughout college and trade school.
>People always asked what my stance was on religion and politics.
>Tell them that I don't care and I rather focus on me than anything else.
>People always considered me a Liberal and Atheist.

Why am I being branded? Just because I rather focus my attention on something else doesn't mean I'm against something.

>Having a shallow and at best passing understanding of the most fundamental dichotomies debated throughout western philosophy's history, as well as taking 15 years to complete a philosophy undergrad, makes someone a genius.
>Spending your early twenties as a dropout and taking drugs whilst "finding yourself" and misunderstanding already inherently narcissitic buddhist advaitic philosophy as a drug-addled wastrel doesn't objectively preclude you from being a genius.

Yes, he's a genius.

The only person by whom he was BTFO was Noam Chomsky in their email exchange. Other than that, Sam is king.

THIS FUCKING GUY TOOK 15 YEARS TO GET HIS BA? IN... FUCKING... PHILOSOPHY?! HOW IS THIS FUCKER SUCCESFUL.

Dennett is a real and fairly influential philosopher.

That makes his prentetious, narcissistic, arrogant shitting on all believers even worse tbqh. And it is utterly unbuddhistic aswell.

...

>Geniuses
This is a guy, Sam "Moderate Rebels" Harris, who was literally advocating the plan that led to ISIS for fucking YEARS before it actually happened.

Harris is a complete moron, and if you want evidence, go listen to him talk about the state of geopolitics today, then go listen to an actual genius, Ryan Dawson. Also an atheist, but not a cuck.

Harris is so fucking wrong about the causes for our geopolitical climate that it actually boggles the mind. He just completely excludes Israel from all calculations and brings things down to George W. Bush tier "they hate us for our freedoms" nonsense. He's a useful kike, nothing more.

Also his work is garbage. The ethical framework he tries to come up with from his neuroscience is amateur hour uninformed garbage. It's like a car mechanic trying to critique Shakespeare using only things he knows about automobiles. Absolute bottom-tier garbage.

The religion business obviously doesn't come into it because dingbats like Dawkins and Chomsky have sub-zero political comprehension. And I mean that, Noam Chomsky is only good at critiquing US foreign policy, hearing him talk about Venezuela or Cuba is like pulling teeth.

He's spent time talking about the importance of 'steel-manning' the argument of your opponent (being as charitable as possible to show that you want to arrive at the truth together in honesty) and about meditation that I really doubt you could say his ego is 'out of control'. He's INFJ as fuck and most people here are INTJ so lack the level of empathy he has for other people, which is also why INFJs get called emotional faggots

Sam is a hack, have you done any research on how he got his PhD ?

Yeah, he really steel-manned the fuck out of Donald Trump and his supporters.

/thread right here

If you want to keep your job, ESPECIALLY at a university where lots of lefties living on government freebies naturally congregate and will campaign for your termination, you need to keep your mouth shut and stick with the party line

Smart people know that individually, their speaking out about right-wing topics will just fuck up their lives

Welp my IQ was tested at 139 and I voted to MAGA. Also OP is homosex.

I keep being told by people that sam is such a fucking genius and that i should listen to him because i like christopher hitchens. Whenever i listen to him or read anything he writes i just get bored out of my mind.

Never heard an interesting thing come outta his mouth.

remember, its not gay if you just wanna snuggle.
