Screw Sam Harris... Lex, stay true on your empathy philosophy.

Sam clearly has a dog in this fight as he is Jewish and was triggered by someone expressing their disdain for jews... forgetting that the jewish community has the nerve to insist that they are the 'chosen ones' based on the ridiculous claim that God himself told them so, while criticizing Kanye for claiming to be a creative genius. (I would ask Sam as a jew, who is more delusional and egocentric, when you believe your own press (the bible) and for thousands of years push the self serving agenda that God himself decided that of all the people on the planet, that the jews are the 'chosen ones' and in the process offending everyone else by labeling them as inferior... one would have to ask who is the 'asshole' that needs to rethink WHY they have been hated for centuries, by so many, all over the world.

Sam should regret being a dumb smart person.

Lex demonstrated a much higher level of wisdom. Sam... just proved he’s a pompous ass.

Sam’s a Nepo Baby

Did Lex’s approach with Kanye work?

@@fikaenthusiast177 We don't know because we experience the timeline where Lex had this approach, it could have been way worse

Depends on your definition of worked is. If ya mean Kanye West is speaking the truth and it's good when he says it, well you would be a Nazi. If you mean it's good Kanye gets to talk because free speech good, but his ideas get shot down by logic and Kanye can change his mind, well it's just a lost cause at this point.

@@fikaenthusiast177 no not really he wanted a apology and no more talking about it Kanye did say if he did give the best it wouldn’t be good enough

it worked for centuries... letting morons having colossus sized pedestals is an extremely modern invention

Alex Jones and Gavin McInnes did it way better

He gaslighted him though Kanye asked for help lex said I will then backtracks then says I don’t know anything about the situation you are in then when Kanye says what should I do lex was concerned of not getting a black man to apologize Kanye wanted to talk about black issues or issues that impact them more 😅

It's sad how low Harris has become. The dude smells his own farts after thousands call him an intellectual for saying nothing except slow, verbose word salad.

He did not challenge him you’re full of it. Was super weak and went all over the place.

@@lalook2664 What the hell did I just read? What's a comma?

Thank you

Sadly when you bring a lunatic's opinion oxygen and publicity it kicks the Overton window in his direction.

And Lex is a G for reading comments and ruminating on them. Most people say "ignore those" Lex knows his greatest growth comes from his biggest critics 💪 Keep at it brother!!!

Great point and so unlike most channels and news outlets

Great point!

It’s his responsibility to not platform people who espouse hate and antisemitism when he knows the climate is such that no amount of his “love and empathy” will override the behavior of certain loose cannons that follow Kanye’s words like gospel. It’s not how it’s perceived by Lex’s audience that’s concerning, but rather the minds of the dangerous and unstable few who feed off social media snippets of Kanye spouting off with impunity.

He is an utter fool and has rightly been discredited and become obsolete

I agree with you. I couldn’t believe my eyes. What an arrogant narcissist. Why does he bother interviewing with others when he has all the answers and truth. He is exactly like a fundamental religious leader dictating dogma. I guess that’s why he dislikes them so much, they are his reflection in the mirror lol

But Sam is correct...hosting a guy who is probably in the midst of a mental breakdown on your super popular podcast is probably not the right decision. It's good that Sam is able to give this type of criticism to Lex directly.

More like, "Everyone who disagrees with me is wrong, even when I don't have a firm stance on a topic."

@@alexcaminiti he has a firm stance on the topic… having Kanye on was wrong, all of the fans who said it was a good idea were wrong. It helped nothing. It did NOT push the conversation in a more loving or humane way. So… these commenters can’t believe their ears at how narcissistic and rude Sam is being AND YET … he was correct. Shouldn’t have done it.

That would be great if Sam would actually use sound, reliable, consistent intellectual arguments and ideas. He's a fraud.

In your "opinion". I disagree with you.

@@vipersb1 cool

@@nans787 from Sam's book "Waking Up": "Our minds are all we have. They are all we have ever had. And they are all we can offer others." Sam seeks to remove spirituality and human connection from the institution of religion, and place it within the mind of the individual. Meaning any "spiritual nature" one has is merely a construct of their own mind, and to his credit, he doesn't throw the baby out with the bath water. Rather he believes that each person should construct their own mind in such a way as to benefit their spiritual and natural well being...Sam and I just have different views on the origin of the human spirit. i believe our spiritual nature transcends the capacity of our own minds; that your individual consciousness is not the sun that your entire existence revolves around. there's more to us than that, like dark matter in space. we don't know what it is, but we know that it's there, and that it actually makes up most of what's there. and the people who know how to appeal to that intangible, nearly undefinable departments of human nature...they are the ones who change the world for better or worse, because they can. everyone else is just debating. but i do think sam's voice is extremely valuable and am glad that you were able to find such utility in his work

I haven't read all comments here, but this is the best comment so far. I like Sam Harris but I don't agree with all of his cut&dry beliefs. Lex is young and doesn't have the years of insight that Sam has but he does speak well for his generation - a generation of young people who in general have a good basis of empathy and equality.....and that goes for the people who struggle with mental health.

Totally agree, celebrities have such an elevated status these days we must hold them to account. If Christopher Hitchens were to spew unhinged rhetoric about producing rap music we wouldn't give him a pass.

That's a great way to think if you don't appreciate the artistic process.

I think what he argued for is that you can't convince an artist the same way you do an intellectual... You can't use reason or evidence... Artists think differently therefore should be dealt differently. I don't think he believes that artists should have some special treatment in a moral sense.

@@mathiasrennochaves3533 Exactly, he isn't saying that everyone with an instagram page can say what they want. He is saying just like when talking to a child you must consider they have a unique perspective compared to an adult there are places where nuance should be considered.

wow...new thought to me...that makes a lot of sense..in how I feel about myself, to be clear. Very good insight.

I feel like Sam listens only to respond in most interactions.

Sam dates Sam, only talks about Sam, and feels Sam. Then uses his massive ego given by brain-dead fans to tell you either something obvious or irrelevant. Dude has zero morals, only a bulletin list.

@@GoodBaadUgly haha one of those people. More than anything he loves setting the tone and narrative using his pace and cadence, he wishes he was slow mobius. And it works on most people. Big words, calm demeanor, he's great at it, and (relatively speaking) he's a super smart dude! But those things don't make him right all the time. Especially with people who can keep up, like Lex.

Sam isn't a good person. He likes for people to think he is, and he would do very evil things to make you believe his point of view. Sam thinks the pendulum will swing back his way, thus making him right in some way. He's just not a genuinely good person like Lex is.

@Roy Ronson we need to shower him with turned backs. He is useless to human progress.

And now you are missing the point. Lex consistently let us know he doesn't know what he is doing but he is learning along the way and positions himself accordingly. Basically evolving as a person. He only has a fundamental pre-judgement and while he learns/understands, he shapes his own idea by talking and asking and questioning. That's the beauty of his identity.

@@denizgur you might think that I’m missing the point. I don’t. I know Lex for many years now. He knows what he’s doing, despite having open mind and space for new ideas and experiences. That doesn’t mean he’s totally lost. Not in the least. But I do agree that one of the beauty of his identity is his learning process. There is no other channel like Lex’s. Sure every person is different and the contents people make on their channels are different. But there is something really special about Lex’s approach to conversation and dialog that differs from the rest. He’s a special dude, and we should appreciate having someone like him in the social media sphere.

@@danwhiffen9235 I share your general frustration regarding Sam. I still view him as a public intellectual that frankly made many mistakes. Thats fine with me. What bothers me is his refusal to debate his critics. It's not about who is right or wrong or how much of the audience is persuaded. It's the simple fact that he refuses to engage them. I want these public intellectuals to debate each other like how UFC mixed martial artists fight. It's for us the audience to witness and come to our own conclusions. Instead of derp derp fart platforming bad!

@@cheflev9884 it seems to me that he refuses to argue with them probably because it would expose that he's not always in the right. Critical debate leads to the expulsion of poorly constructed ideas. I think he'd rather be comfortable in thinking he's right than getting closer to truth

@@cheflev9884 agreed, that's why it's been so frustrating seeing him the way he has been these past few years. I guess we have to take it with a grain of salt

"Sam is being overly arrogant in my opinion..." I totally agree!

Sad part is that Sam's arrogance seems to be ramping up over the years. I was a fan of his years ago, but he has gone pretty far off the deep end and is very much an elitist now.

💯, the truth is just too daunting for my right wing snowflake brothers and sisters, he's gotta tone down the truth, and do what Tucker does, and manipulate it, like how he feels about Cptn Bonespurs, how he passionately hates to love the cult leader 😂

Thank God for people who see it too. He keeps slipping on Kanye too. Calling out other's ego problems instead of his own. Hard to be humble when you stunting on the jumbotron. Ye may be unstable, but he's also richer, more famous, and more loved than Sam. All the things that Sam values I'm sure. Of course he's going to have a bigger ego. And. One's. Ability. To. Be. Monotone. Does not equate to, being correct. If you don't slow down and meet Sam at his level of sedation and come into his world, he thinks you're wrong because you're the one who broke stoic character.

Arrogance has become his defining trait.

He does have thin skin, but he's right on this discussion with Kanye. Instead of attacking sam, why don't you attack his argument?

A very fitting description of yourself, Jeff. See how that works? A non-argument.

@@vipersb1 lol….it wasn’t meant to be an argument because Sam wasn’t making an argument. He was describing what he sees in Kanye. I see Sam the same way as he sees Kanye. See how that works? I love when the Sam groupies come out to defend his lunacy.

But Sam has the right to not talk to assholes and anti Semites. He's not required to engage with them.

Most people are dumb and sheep tho and it's not that they don't see right from wrong, it's that they willingly ignore the wrong and use these kind of interviews as a platform to push their own agendas and narratives. There's a reason right wingers and conservatives have strongly used Joe Rogan's platform in the past and benefitted from it. People in the comments simply don't understand the psychology behind "allowing fair play" when it comes to interviews and the people we give a platform to speak. We share more responsibility than we think. Especially people like Lex and Joe Rogan.

Unfortunately, that logic doesn't work when people are putting forth uniquely harmful/insidious ideas, hence the example of Hitler.

Exactly this is why germs and other microscopic organism don't actually exist. I don't SEE them, therefor I don't need to wash my hands and can lick toilet bowls. Sure people say that they are bad.

Perfect summation. And very fair. Much more fair than am ever am I when forming critiques of Sam

@The Wandering M what's wild is that he's kind of the internet authority on ego death and free will not existing. Yet his own ego is wild. Almost like he's a Shang Tsung of other's egos. Goes to debate and collect their egos, whines and "refuses to entertain" arguments, people, and religions he deems to be unworthy of his time. Like a child playing games who only wants to win to feed their own ego.

Establishing FRAME ...sort of thing?

Sam is right here though. You can't compare Sam Harris with Kanye west and the things that Kanye had said about people versus what Sam had said about people. This "people are just the same side of the coin" bullshit is what gets people like Trump, and now possibly God forbid, Kanye, into office.

Except he's exactly right though. You can be mad about it but it doesn't change that fact.

Correct

I love lamp

Empathy and compassion towards people he agrees with. Hitler was inconsolable for several days after mussolini's death.

🎯

Sam is an intellectual virtue signaler. He says all the right things but he doesn’t actually live by the things he says.

Thus why a Kanye wouldn't go and speak with him... he would never get the opportunity to be his self and in all honesty I doubt he would take on that interview out of fear. This man is tough only when pillows are involved. I imagine he screams at his wife and turns red when doing so.

I strongly disagree. While Harris speaks with a very measured tone and he carefully chooses his words, it may sound very dry, but his intention is certainly the kind of love that Lex is looking for. Harris discussed all the options for dealing with West, and it certainly sounded compassionate to me.

Harris is working from the premise that rational, reasonable “anti-Semitism” is not possible, i.e., it is inherently irrational and/or “evil.”

because they dont win. and most probably when they do the "normal" ones destroy them

UV light has disinfectant properties...................... this does not mean it's valid treatment for a virus which is hidden from the sun. also Trump said even dumber shit such as "injecting people with disinfectant" as well as "exposing people to sunlight" which is retard science.

Yet here he is trying to shame a grown man for having a public conversation with a grown man. Sam Harris with real power would be a dangerous egotistical individual.

Sam has really exposed himself as completely ego0centric and blind to his own failings. A trap wise sages don't fall into, and one he has sprung on himself.

He is an ethnosupremacist and he feels someone is questioning his superiority so all morals and reasoning no longer apply. He has the right to 'free speech' about the Muslims but not the other way around that's how that works.

He’s not arguing against free speech, Kanye is and forever will be free to speak his mind publicly in any way he can and Sam said nothing against that. Sam is criticizing the decision from Lex’s point of view to air the conversation with Kanye given the circumstances of what Kanye said and his current mental state. Sam is implying the responsibility that Lex has because of his large platform, Lex has control over what “free-speech” is said on his podcast. Not all free-speech is beneficial to society as a whole. Hateful, nonfactual speech is hard to argue for as being beneficial free speech, especially when said to such a large audience. The problem is that too many people AREN’T critical and DON’T disregard ideas that are clearly delusional, just take all the lies and hate spread in US politics that so many people believe blindly. Or just look at the very anti-semitism that has plagued society for so long, based on hatred and nonfactual claims that has murdered millions of people. Speech should always be free but to pretend that some speech isn’t dangerous is ridiculous. People with platforms that intend to educate should be aware of this and critical of what is said on their platforms.

Spot on.

100% agree. Not only is this cowardice but it also pushes those beholders of extreme ideas to the underground where they are then allowed to ferment through the power of their echo chamber and the frustration of not being able to speak their mind will transform their crappy opinions into something more extreme. I rather have everyone be able to talk their mind which allows then everyone else to make up their mind about them. If someone wants to make an ass out of themselves then everyone should be able to see that. The problem is, that the people that advocate for censorship always pretend that the public is full of idiots who cant handle the truth. In the end, censorship limits ones full expression, forces opposing views into secrecy, and ontop of that also insults the public as stupid. I fail to see the good of any of those outcomes.

Not inviting someone on your podcast is not censorship. By that standard, every person that hasn't yet been on his podcast is being censored. The problem with Ye isn't that he is extreme, it's that he is incoherent in his statements and has nothing to bring to the table. You don't need to go out of your way and broadcast every crazy person you found on the NYC subway to make sure that you're not suppressing speech.

Shut up Asian you don’t get to have an opinion on Americans

100%. Sam believes he has the right to withhold information about the world from you because he knows better than you how to structure the world. We’re just not smart enough to understand.

Duh this is why God gave us freewill

The way you put it makes it more palatable, but the overall message is blatantly wrong. The more Andrew Tate's and Kanye's we have in our public discourse, the more are the ideas similar to his normalised, making an average person with a limited worldview more likely to shift to a position a bit more towards that side. It doesn't have to be the worst possible take. It's enough to have sufficient amount of people say "Ah, but he does make some sense."

Are you a grown man? Serious question. If Kanye were an individual preaching outright White Supremacy, no one would be spewing this "Love" trope; people would be criticizing the man. Sam only holds anti-Semitism as an ideology that is as bad as other racial ideologies, and that's why his opinion is what it is. Everyone wants to make excuses for Kanye because of his celebrity status, etc. No other individual would be as apologized for as a manic rapper. lmao

Sam is highly over rated. You haven't missed much he's been wrong about everything important for the past 5 years.

For real. Sam has been on a downward spiral for years. Still more intelligent than myself, but, he lets his emotions guide him now, and being a slow deliberate speaker cannot disguise it.

Sam is spot on here. Most podcasters are now putting entertainment and spectacle as the #1 priority. How does no one sees what’s wrong with broadcasting a guys’ psychotic manic episode to millions of people?

Except, if you are letting someone broadcast bad ideas, and aren’t actually “overcoming it with a better argument” in real time, or at least challenging it, then you run the risk of people accepting the first claim they heard and digging into their position regardless of better arguments. Have you heard what many Americans are claiming these days, despite the lack of evidence for their beliefs, and in the face of “better arguments?”

@@roems6396 The real difference here is we think people should be allowed to think for themselves, while you believe someone else should be in charge of all the thinking for us.

You nailed it

Yeah, I realize he's the over-stepping overlord type from this.

interestingly, when he comes to religion and support of Israel everything is ok with sam, but when it comes to critizing that nature of things. its not ok. idk why people take same harris seriously.

Whether you like it or not, Lex & Sam & other public intellectuals get to decide when and how you get some of your information, by interviewing and platforming people. They HAVE to judge and discriminate the people they choose to interview and who they interview. Not everyone deserves or can be interviewed by Lex; so by definition Lex gets to choose the information or perspectives you’re allowed to consider on his platform.

Your assumption is false. We are not limited to only getting info here. You have the entire world wide web of info. So.. nope. Stop with the platforming crap as if we should get to dictate whether people should be heard or not. Hear everyone you MIGHT even want to. Now go make your own platform with your record function on your phone and stop blaming lex/giving lex power to control all your info.

Facts how about us blacks that know they make money of us look what lyor cohen said about why he signs killers he said “ I got to make m on ey somehow “ shits sick the way these people get mad as if their the special ones

In a 'perfect world' everyone would get along... the reality is that there are blacks that don't like jews and there are jews that don't like blacks. It makes sense that a jewish person would be offended by a personal attack, but does a jew get offended when a black is being personally attacked and decides to say something and stand up for the black person? (Until such time as the jewish community makes more of an effort to defend non jews that are being attacked and chooses to condemn jews that attack others, then jews have no reason to expect (or demand) others speak up and stand up for them.

@@ItsMe-yv9jd What on earth are you even trying to express there? What is even the analogy in this case

no one is ever a lost cause, is a naive statement, although it is true we should care for others at some point u may need boundaries

@@SteadyAimCinema any given in life is a naive mindset so what's the point in trying then?

@@easonthomas4239 could you elaborate? What do you mean by any given?

Sam's approach is better. Learn and understand the fallacy of tolerance.

​@@sebm.5930 I agree with you on tolerance being a negative at a certain point, but as a media personality your job isn't to tell me what I can and cannot be tolerant of. Produce interesting content with interesting people and allow your audience to decide what they want to tolerate.

🤦🏻 WoW you’re seriously comparing the logic and philosophy between someone that has no idea of what those words mean and an intellectual that is lightyears ahead. If you don’t understand the differences between these two, you don’t know the two and you have no business commenting. And if you know these two, you’re something else.

​@@ZaChYmO Do you mean these two instead of this two?
