'It Will Collapse Society!' - Why The Modern World Makes No Sense | Sam Harris vs Konstantin Kisin

In this clip of **Impact Theory with Tom Bilyeu**, we're diving deep into a compelling discourse that many are hesitant to touch, featuring two intellectually heavyweight guests: **Sam Harris** and **Konstantin Kisin**. This conversation scrutinizes the multifaceted dynamics that threaten the very core of Western civilization as we know it.

**Sam Harris** opens with a powerful critique of how democracy, capitalism, and political freedom, while historically successful engines of wealth and creativity, are now under siege from ideological and religious movements exploiting our values of tolerance and self-criticism. He passionately argues against the insidious influence of stealth Islamist groups and the unsettling silence of the educated elite.

**Konstantin Kisin** expands on this by emphasizing the uniqueness of individual rights in the West. He contrasts it with the autocratic controls in Russia and China, shedding light on how incentive structures in free societies foster technological and cultural progress. They discuss the abandonment of core Western values, the rise of extreme DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) ideologies, and the potentially dire consequences of unchecked immigration policies.

Together, they unpack the cultural and political psychosis gripping the West, revealing a dangerous path that could lead to societal collapse if not corrected. From the flaws in liberal democracy to the lure of authoritarian solutions amid escalating chaos, Harris and Kisin present a candid, thought-provoking narrative that challenges listeners to rethink the future of our society.

Join us as we explore these critical issues and seek answers that could redefine the course of Western civilization.

I was born in the early 90s, thinking the world belonged to me and I would grow up happy and prosperous... the older I got, the more I realized how year by year, we as a society just kept eroding the very foundations on which Western society was built upon.

And I completely snapped when I realized that even amongst my friends, the majority do not understand these core principles. My friends LOVE DEI, because "those poor people have been oppressed, we need to help them"

They LOVE mass illegal immigration "No human is illegal, they are not causing problems, it's just racism and bla bla"

They LOVE whenever the government intervenes and gains more power "We need the government to step in, we need the government to do x y and z, we need the government to force people and companies to do a b and c"

These are Harvard, Oxford, Cambridge educated people I am talking about. The supposedly smartest people in this world I have found to be the most anti-Western, anti-democractic, anti-liberty, anti-free speech, anti-individual liberty in the world.

I have absolutely no hope for Western society, because all our elites in conjunction with the intellectual elite are systematically destroying every single element that our ancestors have killed each other over for THOUSANDS OF YEARS to solve.

A society that will not discriminate in favour of itself against all others is doomed.

If you can criticize one society/religion freely but not another with equal freedom and dignity, you are either deceiving yourself or living in 1984.

I have a lesson for you in Islamic Jurisprudence

Taqiyya is for Shia, Muda'rat is for Sunni.
They are both tactical deceit for the purpose of spreading Islam.

Kitman is deceit by omission

Tawriya is deceit by deliberate ambiguity

Daruna is the deceit through necessity (to engage in something haram to exploit non-muslims)

Taysir deceit through facilitation (I.e making things easier: telling a revert they can still drink alcohol until they are ready)

Muruna is flexibility or temporary suspension of Shariah, making Muslims appear moderate until numbers are high enough to enforce Shariah.

The world makes perfect sense. From the WEF perspective.

Ok, I have been and remain very critical of Sam Harris, however, this first 3:33 with his opening statement is rock solid. Praise where praise is due.

1 day after Oct. 7th I first heard "Israel should not overreact!". No, "bad terrorist!", no "don't kill innocent kids!", only "bad Israel!"

Have you ever considered interviewing Whitney Webb?

Liberals and Islam love story is so much ironic.

[tarlkoroban]

People can't buy a house nor barely put food on the table despite having 3 jobs yet 'our system works'.

[reneeREMichigan]

Such an important discussion!!! Common sense over extreme nonsensical compassion.

Racism, Xenophobia, and Colonialism made the world a better place. Europeans are 8 percent of world population, we face extinction from being so lenient.

[debbielondon]

Born in the 1960s I have watched the emphasis going from individuality to individualism. Two very different concepts. 
One is the acceptance that we are all different and contribute in different ways - the other is a focus on self irrespective of what we contribute.
I wonder if what we need in the West is to bring our working and rural classes back into the cultural conversation? Those who the liberal elites have denigrated, but still hold some of our oldest values.

My father was in border police.

He told me, the only thing what protects a border is fear.

Does anyone remember what Sam said about the unvaccinated? And now he's interested in personal freedom?

[ericblair]

Sam still with the “kids in cages” BS. Amazing. He’s lost his mind to TDS
