People like Jordan Peterson, Sam Harris, and Stephen Pinker form the support structure for right-wing authoritarianism. This needn't be controversial; it's the history channel. You can see that this is true even while valuing their work. It's not either/or.

I've been struggling with Harris recently. He's helped people in the atheist/skeptic community get past their instinctual aversion to meditation. He's also got many other interesting things to say, and has interesting conversations. But sometimes I'm just like... "really, man?".

I just wish he'd stick with popularizing science, philosophy, and secular spirituality stuff, instead of the boring culture war BS. He assumes that because he is uber logical and careful with phrasing, everyone else is too. Meanwhile he's just adding trash to the dumpster fire.
