Is he going to persuade someone who does not have TDS to get it? No way. He's way too over the top for that.
But may he persuade some other people with TDS to oppose wokery? And does the fact that he has severe TDS give him more credibility to do that? Yes.
So on net balance, he's a force for the good.
There is nothing complicated about the fact that Sam Harris exists to keep normies enmeshed in the overall globalist framework.
He is not a gateway into anything but rather a pressure valve that offers a false sense of relief.
It is not even remotely close to dogma to condemn one of the most authoritarian individuals that still sadly has a sizeable platform
Do you suppose those who listen to Sam Harris would otherwise be Cathedral critics, if it were not for him?
No my point is that they will remain part of the Cathedral after they listened to Harris.
These normies were part of the Cathedral before they listened to him and the problem is that listening to him ensures they will remain part of it.
He creates midwits in his totalitarian technocrat image.
That is a net negative to society.
How though? If they're normies, it means they buy normie narratives, like BLM.
How does it make them worse by being exposed to the fact that the BLM narrative if completely phony?
Changing an individual's stance on BLM is not the criteria that should be used to gauge net value.
He co-opts people from partaking in meaningful action that would bring forth real change to the power dynamic.
Someone can be against BLM and still foolishly believe that society needs to defer to the whims of technocrats. This is what he fosters in his audience. This attitude prevents them from being open to listen to any real dissident thought.
This is what is so corrosive about his influence.
