Tried to watch the Sam Harris-Jordan Peterson debates, but they're frustrating. Atheism is the world's cheapest route to seeming like an intellectual: Just respond to everything w/, "Yeah, but why believe in fairy tales? I don't, and I'm fine. Are you saying I'm not fine?!" YAWN

Sam Harris is an abject moron. Any and all credibility the “Intellectual Dark Web” had was lost when Harris was considered part of the group. Come to think of it, I started losing respect for Peterson right about when he started taking Harris seriously.

Harris is definitely not a moron. He keeps up with experts in high-level discussions on a wide array of topics when he interviews them. It's just that his critique of religion has been stuck in high school atheist mode since the beginning.

I think Taleb would call him an IYI. I just use moron. He might be able to keep up, but his analogies are worse than my 4 year olds.
