If people can keep their eye on the ball, and realize what will matter in 20 years time and what will not, that would be great. Even if you think being a TDS loony cannot be excused, Sam Harris is still very useful. Perhaps particularly useful because of his TDS, because he can then turn other people who are also TDS towards reason - or at least nudge them somewhat.
The left demands "be with us 100% of the time, or we anathematize you". It should be our aim to drive people in the right direction, if only ever so slightly. That is what will matter in 20 years.
Meanwhile Sam Harris still has massive Trump Derangement Syndrome.
What a clown world.

Even ignoring the TDS, Sam Harris is a proud globalist and he says this himself.
He is incompatible at a fundamental level in terms of what most of us here stand for.
There is no value trying to play nicely with a deranged globalist.
Glenn Greenwald is not wrong about Sam Harris.
If globalists were as reasonable as SH, there would be much less of a problem.
He's definitely wrong in that he accuses SH of 'iswamophobia', which is quite absurd.
