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 …

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.
-
Completely disagree.
-
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.
