      Finding this to be a very useful discussion. Sam Harris seems outmatched here (too much time in the IDW echo chamber), but kudos to him for having @rtraister on his podcast.https://twitter.com/SamHarrisOrg/status/1059499902323970048 …

      Replying to @cognazor @rtraister

      I enjoyed it too but I didn't perceive Harris as "outmatched". I found that Traister was committed to her ideology and it made the conversation more awkward than it should have been.

      Can you unpack how she "was committed to her ideology?". It seemed like he posed challenges, and she gave great nuanced responses and provided historical context.

      Replying to @cognazor @rtraister

      two aspects of it really struck me. the first was her total insistence on focusing on power relationships all the time, and framing power relationships almost entirely based on "caste" (race, gender, and class).

      Replying to @danlistensto @cognazor @rtraister

      to expand on that even more, she was ridiculously tunnel visioned on the typical leftist identitarian perspective and seemed to make no effort at all to understand why Harris (and many others) evaluate the same events differently.

      Replying to @danlistensto @rtraister

      Perhaps. But I think it is also the case that IDW types vastly under value the role of power relationships based on these categories. It's like they want to argue from a blank slate and first principles, without much regard for historical context or structural explanations

      who does? Harris? sometimes, though he is not "blank slatist" in the cognitive developmental sense of the term. He does usually take the individualist perspective on issues though.

          Yes, Sam Harris is who I mostly have in mind. His debate with Ezra Klein was emblematic of this for me.

          Ezra Klein is literally a professional propagandist. Harris' main mistake was talking to him at all. Dude is a bad actor.

          why? everything that Klein produces is vicious, deceitful agitprop.

          This is just completely untrue. Have you listened to his podcast? Most of it is inquisitive and a good faith investigation into complex issues. But he also has a point of view, which might be what you are reacting against. But everybody has a point of view.

          have you read the majority of content on the website he founded and is EiC for? it's propaganda.

          Yes, I have read a lot on Vox. Some of it goes overboard with the SJW stuff. But much of it is good quality investigation into issues.

          did you read his ridiculous apology for Sarah Jeong? that alone makes him ineligible for being taken seriously.
