This. Same thing i went through. Eventually i asked what’s the point? And for nu atheism the only point was watching Hitchens epically own some nobody with Oxford debate shit on Youtube. I started looking at humanism - but all they cared about was stories about “they’re making my kids say god in the pledge of allegiance” or “some southern city is building a ten commandments monument!” No movement that isn’t explicitly left wing can ever even imagine the possiblity of a better world*
*actually Sam Harris thinks he’s imagining a better world, but its through genocide, holy wars, and phrenology.
Its no wonder that Sam Harris was Dave Rubin’s first guest, and was Joe Rigan’s original “smart guy guest”. He is the ultimate dumb guys intellectual. Like he knows absolutely nothing about anything he talks about.
That’s why everything is a “thought experiment.” He doesn’t know anything outside of his own thoughts
That comparison doesn’t make any sense whatsoever. Also, no one in any New York zip code invented algebra or chemistry so even with his premise its still wrong lol
