I like Sam Harris and have listened to a lot of his content. I was rather appalled at how he lost his mind over Trump. It just goes to show that even very reasonable thinkers can have an Achilles heel around emotionally charged issues.
This is a summary of the times: “So this is a clear case of: Random Substack writer with big following picks up random kook wannabe philosopher and tries to make a cuckoo case for modern science being “bullshit.” C’mon. I love it! You’re right on.
Sam Harris has such worthwhile, interesting interviews, such a wide range of topics and guests.
As they say "the more I know the less I know". Out of your recommended podcast list I listen to #7 (but will try & check out 1-6). Glen Loury has made me think twice or maybe differently in some areas. I'm grateful for that. As for articles or "newsletters" I always read the comments section because I think you can learn a lot from those (a ton of smart people). Other than that I agree with what you are saying. Way too many talking points out there.
