Any thoughts on effects of negative emotions on rationality?

Harris is a known stickler for rationality. In this context what offends him is what he perceive as Trump's irrational behavior.
-
He admits he is biased and makes no qualms about it. That's admirable. Trump will never satisfy his criteria though. Different animals.
-
It's just that in this case, it seems to me all the negative emotions is making it harder to understand the truth.
-
Definitely. Both Harris and Adams want to get to the truth, but from different angles. Adams' take sheds more light.
-
This does not mean that the potential dangers of Trump's presidency, of which Harris warns, are not a possibility.
-
I agree and am aware of that.

I'm a friend of Sam Harris. Not least because he is intellectually courageous enough to put himself on the line on the topic of Trump.
-
Adams has the advantage of understanding Trump's modus operandi. Harris objects on moral grounds but has no argument. An interesting listen.

Harris: "morally and intellectually bankrupt" Adams: "persuasive and effective" interesting (unfortunate?) those aren't mutually exclusive
-
To be clear, this is how I see Harris/Adams view of Trump, not how I see them individually.
-
Sure, I got that. Different lenses. Again, Adams's accounts for Trump where Harris's fails to.

Stahp. My dick can only get so hard.

Don't idolize... Scrutinize.

I'm going to get a Greek bust of Scott Adams and place it on my mantle.

You can only say "but he's a master persuader" so many times. Sam was criticizing the ethics of Trump, Scott was admiring his effectiveness.
