@SamHarrisOrg I assume then that you have the complete stats on ISIS membership breakdowns? Or were you using anecdote to make a point?

@thisduck Well, no. But every study I've seen in the last 15 years shows this (more or less): http://www.cnn.com/2015/02/19/opinion/bergen-terrorism-root-causes/index.html … -
@SamHarrisOrg "More or less" is not convincing. Are you willing to say that majority of people in such organizations are not from poverty? -
@thisduck I am absolutely willing to say that. ("poverty" when compared to the rest of their own societies, not Silicon Valley) -
@SamHarrisOrg So we're talking about groups like the Taliban and ISIS. Do you have poverty stats for Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iraq, Syria, etc -
@thisduck@SamHarrisOrg http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/viewSubCategory.asp?id=550 …. This is a study of Palestinian terrorists that found no link btwn poverty and terrorism. -
@mfiorelli5@thisduck Thanks, Michael. I hadn't seen that one. -
@SamHarrisOrg@thisduck you're welcome
