I finally watched @SamHarrisOrg & @MaajidNawaz's documentary about Islam. It's really, really good.https://www.amazon.com/Islam-Future-Tolerance-Sam-Harris/dp/B07L6MSX9Z …

One of the reasons it's always a pleasure for me to listen to/watch Sam talk, knowing him personally, is that he is absolutely 100% the same person whether he's talking to the camera or a friend. One of the most sincere, honest and thoughtful people I have ever met

Maajid has gotten a bit annoying recently as much as I hate to admit it. Doing the "enlightened centrist" thing a bit hard. But I did mean to check this out

Yeah, it’s not that hard to see why he was such a radical once upon a time.

I remember seeing your review of Lying, likely from before you knew him personally. I think you liked the book but didn’t like something about the way he came across. It would be interesting to diagnose what that was and could provide Sam with some well-intentioned feedback.

It's been a while and I don't remember what my criticisms were at the time (or much of the book), but I definitely still believe that most people prefer to dispense and receive small personal lies, and that "radical honesty" *can* be a license to defect socially to one's benefit
