Hadn't read this; deeply embarrassing attempt by an out-of-depth @SamHarrisOrg to engage w/ Chomsky. You will cringe http://www.samharris.org/blog/item/the-limits-of-discourse/#.VlXp-AkB264.twitter …

@SamHarrisOrg Don't think so. Just read it through, was straightforward. Will give podcast a listen though. -
@Joey_Galvin It shows Chomsky to be at best badly muddled. At worst disingenuous and antagonistic. Embarrassing for@SamHarrisOrg? Baffling

@SamHarrisOrg Apols, bt podcast doesn't really change my opinion or offer anything new. My initial reading of exchange is what I'll stick by -
@SamHarrisOrg Easy to take moral high ground after the fact but it's a cheap tactic and doesn't tally with how you engaged. -
@Joey_Galvin,@SamHarrisOrg took the moral high ground *during* the exchange, by not stooping to Chomsky's pettiness and condescension.

@SamHarrisOrg@Joey_Galvin Chomsky didn't even fully comprehend the concepts Sam was trying to discuss with him. -
@Hendrickx_@SamHarrisOrg@Joey_Galvin really? then by all means explain this incomprehensible concept only Harris fans can grasp. -
@davidBlandry@SamHarrisOrg@Joey_Galvin The ethical significance of intentions. -
@Hendrickx_@davidBlandry@SamHarrisOrg@Joey_Galvin To be fair, Chomsky does deal w intentions. He just assumes those of US are monstrous. -
@OneHipNinja@Hendrickx_@davidBlandry I don't think Chomsky is right about that, but I did feel a pang of cognitive dissonance. -
@sisboombahbah@OneHipNinja@davidBlandry Yes, that was a good point. But in the end negligence isn't as immoral as an ideology like jihad. -
@Hendrickx_@sisboombahbah@davidBlandry I think other factors must also be calculated at that point, such as extent of human suffering. -
@OneHipNinja@Hendrickx_@davidBlandry In fact there's a podcast called Very Bad Wizards where Sam talks at length about ANIMAL suffering. - 1 more reply

@SamHarrisOrg@Joey_Galvin Chomsky IS drawing equivalence. One can think he's justified in doing so, but his denial of it is obfuscation.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
