@SamHarrisOrg @georgetvp my city was bombed last year by Muslims that (literally) couldn't be more Caucasian. -
@goosegill@SamHarrisOrg Exactly, so what good does profiling do? -
@georgetvp
@SamHarrisOrg (2/2)time and resources on ppl who are obviously NOT jihadis (e.g., toddlers, the infirmed, etc.) -
@georgetvp
@SamHarrisOrg that is, ppl that are very unlikely to be jihadis. Practical application of resources is what he argued for.

@SamHarrisOrg The argument has been made before and as someone who has been profiled, I can tell you it generates humiliation and resentment -
.@georgetvp
@SamHarrisOrg Only if you let it. Does it make you feel any better once you realize that action is for the greater good? -
@PerpetualCzech@SamHarrisOrg Hate to make this comparison, but do you know who else made “actions“ on their citizens for the greater good? -
.@georgetvp
@SamHarrisOrg Not sure what you mean by "actions" but Israel uses profiling and has a highly efficient security system.

@SamHarrisOrg @georgetvp Sam, that was, and remains, a great piece you wrote. Why not save your time and effort for those that like you? -
@Karl_Banitowski
@SamHarrisOrg Becuase taking in criticism of his views is an integral part being a scientist/intellectual. -
@georgetvp
@SamHarrisOrg one can arbitrarily select which ones to address. Would profiling and discriminating in this fashion offend you? -
@Karl_Banitowski
@SamHarrisOrg It just doesnt work and could be counter-productive. Has profiling ever prevented a terrorist attack? -
@georgetvp @Karl_Banitowski
@SamHarrisOrg Sam actually had a great debate a few years back with someone who disagreed. (I forget the name).
