U rail against identity politics & speak with such precision when debating. Why paint an entire "side" with such a broad brush? #stillafan

It's a constant narrative of his and undermines a good portion of his arguments at times. I find it intellectually lazy.
-
Calling Sam Harris intellectually lazy is like calling Elon musk uncreative or serena Williams unathletic. Twit
-
Doesn't mean it's not true in this case
-
Perhaps he thinks his audience will understand his meaning without having to always say "not all leftists"?
-
It's a presentation problem. Sam has always been the proponent of pushing information and it hamstrings himself. It wouldn't be an issue 2)
-
If his arguments didn't basically start off with "all of the regressive left" I understand him, but, he pushes away people he could convince
-
I don't see "all" in his tweet...

I'm not sure if self-confessed left-wingers are capable of doing anything else but hypocrisy.
-
One might say identifying as a Leftist nowadays is highly predictive of intellectual dishonesty & hypocrisy

I'm still left of centre, but strive to be fair and reasonable.

Welcome to the new center! ;-)

I'm still flabbergasted about how this lynch mob mentality could evolve in the land of free speech. Frankly I find this scarier than Trump.
-
That mentality is why Trump was elected. Had the left not gone off the intellectual deep end, we'd likely have a Democrat for president.
-
For sure. If you can't take the left any longer and confusing but important topics can't be discussed anymore, where to go? I don't know.

Only the ideologically pure do this sort of thing. Well, pure in their own eyes anyway. And oh so convinced of the value of that purity.
