I knew he was a charlatan when I first saw him on Rogan a long time ago. He was pretty much the redditor version of a guru: all big, fancy sounding words that expressed absolutely nothing. Although the fact that he never criticized Judaism said it all
Rogan is one of a very small handful of content creators who could have easily jump-started a legitimate alternative video platform to compete with YouTube. Instead, he took the ticket.
My guess is he decided he couldn’t weather the inevitable storm of accusations of anti-Semitism, which come part and parcel with any attempt to break the media monopoly.
Although the fact that he never criticized Judaism said it all
It took me less than a minute to find the following quote from his book 'End of Faith' - published very recently in 2004, so perhaps you hadn't gotten around to it.
Judaism is as intrinsically divisive, as ridiculous in its literalism, and as at odds with the civilizing insights of modernity as any other religion
I meant during the Rogan interview I watched. It was all Christianity and Islam. Though of course one quick line in his book is the same as a newspaper making a headline retraction in the middle of the paper in fine print. Just covering his ass more than anything
That's quite rich. So one example from a book that you obviously haven't read is 'one quick line'. Here's another 'quick line'! I guess that makes for two!
Muslims and Jews generally take the same arrogant view of their own enterprises and have spent millennia passionately reiterating the errors of other faiths. It should go without saying that these rival belief systems are all equally uncontaminated by evidence
The fact that you cannot think of any reason why a religion that has 1% of the adherents that its competitors do would get less attention, and instead posit some sort of secret agenda, is quite baffling - but that's motivated reasoning for ya.
BTW, how much time did he spend on Jainism? Obviously, he's in the tank for the damn Jains!
Less money overall than most other countries, and with massive strings attached. What is wrong with Israel existing? Is there something wrong with Jews existing or having a country?
Sam Harris is jewish.

It's interesting how many personalities Rogan introduced me to over the years on YT that I would never know otherwise.
And how that all stopped when he disappeared behind the Spotify wall and I never followed.
I wonder what if anything has replaced Rogan as the incubator for myself and others to be introduced to new ideas and non-MSM personalities.
He got to have guests like Robert Malone on Spotify, which would have never flown on Youtube.
I don't begrudge Rogan for going to Spotify to get paid.
But for me, it was the end of an era.
Just the fact that viewing his podcast involved
was enough to get me to break the habit.
At one point, I went back and started at Episode #1 with Redban and the snowflake effects on Justin.TV and watched several hundred in sequence.
His clips are still on YT though I'm sure lots off people watch those.
I still do see his clips on YT.
But it's more akin to seeing what Rogan's up to rather than watching a full episode and leaning something new or getting to know someone.
I haven't watched a full episode since he left YT.
At least personally, his move to Spotify made him much less culturally relevant even if he's ungodly richer.
I wonder if he considered that.

Sam Harris was a big voice for atheism and atheists. He is an atheist.

He's a grifter who only cares about America donating millions to Israel and his marks are redditors like you

lol revealed yourself
No. The problem is most of them aren't in it.
