Sam Harris is a rightwing Islamophobic ass. I don't take advice from him. He has some good points. But he is just one person with ideas.

Anyone supported by and praised by Bari Weiss is a wing nut.Opinion | Meet the Renegades of the Intellectual Dark Web - The New York TimesHe is an islamophobe. He doesn't think it exists.

When I recently asked Sam Harris what he thought of the word 'Islamophobia,' he directed me to a tweet that noted the following: “Islamophobia. A word created by fascists, & used by cowards, to manipulate morons.”

What Does 'Islamophobia' Actually Mean? - The AtlanticHe is a person who claims to be a liberal but continually embraces illiberal ideas. He flirts with fascists and fascist ideals. But in the end, I venture to guess that he has no actual principles or even ideas. He has perfected the grift. And yes He is a pretentious ass who thinks he needs to share his petty ideas with the world. He is an intellectual lightweight who in reality uses a lot of words to say nothing but are an attempt to look smart.

Reality. He is really quite shallow.

Sam Harris is a lot like Donald Trump. To many readers, this may sound either obviously false or trivially true — after all, everything is like everything else in at least some way. But what I mean is quite substantive: There are important ways in which the strategy that Harris uses to communicate with his audience is strikingly similar to Trump's. This should worry us, because both speak with unwarranted confidence about topics they don't understand and have sizable audiences that are generally inclined not to question the wisdom and omniscience of their chosen leaders...
Sam Harris began his career, metaphorically speaking, by winning the lottery: He wrote a mediocre diatribe against Islam (without expertise on either Islam or Islamic terrorism) that was published at exactly the right time — three years after the 9/11 attacks and one year after the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq, now considered to be perhaps the single greatest foreign policy blunder in our country's history. After this, he participated in numerous public debates with religious clowns and published articles in outlets like the Washington Times, one of which, from 2004, made the following incendiary claim: "It is time we admitted that we are not at war with 'terrorism.' We are at war with Islam." He's also published a (very) small handful of scholarly articles in peer-reviewed papers.

He has had Charle Murray on his webcast and embraced the Bell Curve crap. He attacks BLM repeatedly without ever mentioning what their goals are.There is good, well sourced critique on Reddit.
BlockedHe may not be #MAGA but he is a POS.

So you are a bothsiderist on fascism?

No and a bit dumber than many. He is a grifter nothing more nothing less.
