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 …

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
Sam is a highly ethical and extremely self-aware person who doesn't selectively utilize honesty (knowingly or unknowingly) to manipulate or punish people, but I don't think he's wired quite the same way as most folks

I think it was from your goodreads but you seem to have taken it down or I’m mixing you up with someone else. I’m a fan and take his honesty commitment at his word (especially with co-signing from people like you) but he certainly seems to rub a lot of people up the wrong way.

And I’m agnostic that that’s entirely a function of him touching taboo topics (Altho it’s a massive factor of course). For instance, any of your former misgivings wouldn’t have been due to taboo.
