        Question 12 was my submission. The notion that TNC is incapable of having an honest conversation with a white person is as devoid of reality as the Salon guy saying your book with Maajid was a money grab. https://youtu.be/Ytt1j_7TImU  for my evidence. 1/x

        His disagreement with black intellectuals on the right center around whether structural racism is holding back black Americans or if the answer is a mixture individual agency and change black culture. I’d be interested in how your understanding that 2/x

        free will is an illusion would affect that debate. Also, TNC’s atheism and rejection of the romanticism of the moral arc of the universe bending towards justice would interact in an interesting way with your views. But we’ll continue to be deprived of this3/x

        On identity politics, TNC has an interesting take. He said in a late night show that he thinks everything is identity politics. Proposing to expand Medicaid, for example, is catering to a specific demographic. If be interested in how you’d respond to that.4/x

        5/x maybe you’d say that this isn’t what your definition of identity politics is and you two would have a discussion about what it is. Maybe he’d surprise you and agree that identity politics as you define it is bad. Again, we’ll continue to be deprived

        With regards to the kid who's been writing on Quillette, he blatantly and obviously misrepresented TNC's view. In one piece, he makes it seem like TNC's view is to have no empathy for cops who ran into the collapsing towers on 9/11 when the very next 6/x

        paragraph of the work Hughes cited from, TNC makes it absolutely clear that that is no longer his view. The reader of Hughes's piece wouldn't know this from reading Hughes and the reader would be left to believe that TNC is a cold-hearted monster. 7/x

        I'd expect that this sort of misrepresentation is something that you especially @SamHarrisOrg would be wary about. Overall, I'm still a huge fan of the podcast, but I was immensely disappointed by your answer to my question on this AMA. 8/8

        Sam: Coates needs “an intervention” and is “incapable of having an honest conversation about race with a white person.” Next up, I talk to Scott Adams about why Trump is a genius!

        Yeah. I’m all for the Adams interview. Learn about how others think. Sam should learn about how TNC thinks through direct interaction. One thing that bothers me is that is hasn’t seemed to have occurred to Sam that TNC may be on to something and that SH needs the intervention.

        Very disappointed with your responses regarding Coates. We can’t move forward if we ignore him and paint him as a raving lunatic and a insidious bad actor. You took a chance on Ben Shapiro and were willing to have Steven Molyneaux on - why not Ta Nehisi Coates?

        Sam, quick suggestion: If you ever consider proceeding with a podcast featuring Ta Nehisi Coates, can you temporarily change the name of your podcast to Woking up with Sam Harris, please? Thanks

        And if things get too heated he can then easily shift gears into "Toking up with Sam Harris," a much chiller podcast.

        Regarding free will, I'm curious specifically if you think people don't make actual "choices" in any meaningful sense. I can't remember if you've ever focused on the term "choice" in the past and your answer in this podcast made me wonder.

        I've read the books and he takes a pretty hard line on this. He uses the example of the Univ of Tx tower shooter who did have a brain problem. But I felt like the shooter could have just as easily gone to the doctor. He left a note saying something was wrong with his brain.

        I think I take just as hard a line as Sam on that specific pt. I think ppl make choices, but those choices are ultimately *wholly* dictated by underlying traits and preference for which they can't coherently claim any conscious credit and are merely (un)lucky to be how they are.

        I'm just wondering what he thinks about "choices" specifically. Some critics of libertarian free will argue that the concept of "choice" or "decision" doesn't make sense either and I think that's wrong.
