    1. An addendum to the @ezraklein & @SamHarrisOrg debate about Charles Murray. Harris uses Glenn Loury as a human shield, which is ironic given Loury's history with Murray.

        2. In his defense, Harris mentions he had the "fantastic" Loury "who happens to be black" on his show. Some of his best podcast guests are black!pic.twitter.com/QtTY8NUBV8

        3. As it happens, Glenn Loury & Charles Murray have an interesting and salient history. They were colleagues together at American Enterprise Institute in early 1990s.

        4. But after publication of Bell Curve & D'Souza's terrible "End of Racism" (also sponsored by AEI), Loury (and another black conservative, Robert Woodson) decided they could no longer work at AEI.

        6. So Loury, who Harris thinks is "fantastic" and (unlike Klein) a reasonable voice, thought that Murray's was so terrible that he couldn't in good conscience work with him.

        7. As another addendum: Sam Harris thinks Ezra Klein is "far left" -- which brought me a rare laugh in a doleful world.https://twitter.com/classiclib3ral/status/987678084131409920 …

        Jeet Heer added,

        Wild Geerters @steinkobbe
        Sam Harris said in his latest podcast that he has given up on reaching the far left because of how dishonest Ezra Klein was. Really wonder what he thinks the far left even is if he believes Ezra Klein is part of it. He's extremely ignorant on politics

        This passion for defending literal racists (under the guise of being a bold truth teller) is profoundly disturbing. Sadly, this is becoming a "brand" with a "following".

        He said he hated Murray's social policy ideas? That's surprising because he seemed to be not only agreeing with Murray, but in some cases advancing his views.

        Replying to @HeerJeet @ezraklein @SamHarrisOrg

        How are there still black “intellectual” conservatives in 2018? I agree w/R’s on some issues, but since there is a general tolerance in their movement for considering someone who looks like me to be sub-human, that’s gonna trump whatever I think about tax policy/deficits.

        What do you agree with Republicans on when it comes to tax policy and deficits?
