hear some voice of reason

Crazy how this guy can talk without moving a muscle! not even a blink!!!!Amazing!

[FuneralThirst]

This is probably the most blatantly centrist viewpoint ever presented on this channel, so bravo.

Sam Harris is a true intellectual and his analysis of milo being enigmatic in his arguments is extremely accurate he's truly an intelligent man

[yamahagenos]

Most of his points about Trump were very accurate. But his downplaying of Hillary was despicable and intellectually dishonest. And no, I'm not a Trump fan. Not even voting for the guy.

[giuliapugliese]

This is the most eye opening thing I have ever heard. I especially liked the bit about just because you agree on one issue with a certain party does not mean you will agree on the next issue.

I think it's awesome that SJWCentral has branched out to the kind of content which addresses the root of all this SJW nonsense - Everybody loses when they play the game of identity politics!

[imagomonkei]

I agree with his distrust of Milo, but Milo is useful right now. The enemy of my enemy is my friend.

[Dorfjunge]

Sam Harris is totally great. Even though I disagree with him on Trump (and on some of his scientific work on "free will"), he did 95% totally great and important stuff.

People have to remember that you will never find any person that you 100% agree with on every point.
- I like Milo but I dislike his religious bullshit
- I like Crowder but I disagree with his points on veganism (and religion)
- I fuckin love Atheism is Unstoppable but I disagree with his views on Trump and the 2nd amendment
etc.
I still think that all of them (including Sam Harris) are fantastic and an important contribution to the whole realm of political and philosophical discussions.

I want Sam to record books on tape. I could listen to this man's calming tone for hours.

[jdfreality]

That was the guy who was shilling for Clinton.

[khdayskh]

Even though his world views may be flawed, this man has some good, important things to say.

[criticold]

I'd choose Sam over Milo any day...

[ruefullysage]

YAAAS, I love Sam so much. glad you listen too.

[skylithium]

It's such a shame people will instantly announce Sam Harris is inherently wrong about everything just because he thinks it's better to vote Hilary. Not surprising though, Harris is like Marilyn Manson, you actually need to have an attention span to fully understand his reasoning, whereas I'm not entirely sure I agree with him about Hilary, when I listen to the reasoning behind his conclusion, I could at least say "okay, I can see where he's coming from at least" instead of getting triggered automatically at the conclusion. Plus it's pretty funny seeing people tossing labels around in a video adamantly dismantling identity politics.

[Kris.G]

I'm so disappointed with Sam Harris. He seems very biased about Clinton/Trump situation and that's the last thing I'd expect from him.

[OlafLesniak]

Another person who doesn't know what a troll is. A troll is someone who says something just to stir up attention, debate or fight even if they don't belive in what they're saying. Milo creates 'conflict' because he belives in his words and just because he's confident and acts as if it's a performance doesn't make one a troll.

[rekeinserah]

I wouldn't call Sam Harris a silent majority

No I don't need to falsify a claim its up to them to prove the claim.

[geoffreyfield]

Great post. Boxes, boxes, boxes. Americans more than others, seem to have to place everyone in boxes. smh

[dquinn]

I have never heard of this guy. I'm libertarian but I'm also relatively off the grid as far as TV and news and internet podcast type stuff goes. I cannot say strongly enough how much I agree with him about identity politics. I am pro choice, but I DONT have abortions. others can. I personally won't. I'm extremely fiscally conservative. I'm agnostic. I think the attacks on Christians are unfair. I believe in climate change but not exactly on why liberals say it is happening. I believe in small government, less taxes, small businesses. idk. I'm just saying my views go from liberal to conservative to anarchistic to libertarian and all sorts of in between. I think all drugs should be legal. people see me post about ONE issue online and they ASSUME I'm in X Party because of it, and assume EVERYTHING ELSE I absolutely MUST believe then. that's bullshit. I believe what I believe on an individual, case by case basis. and more people should try it. it's quite freeing not being beholden to some group or party or movement.
