Harris is also the one that said we may need to glass a few ME dictatorships if they get nukes, FYI. Dude isnt ignoring that issue in the slightest. Also Hitchens was a Trotskyist who then swapped to Neocon

Gotta let people have their flaws

harris is fucking hilarious on his own

in the best sort of rational way

and i say that as somebody if i had to choose more in the JBP camp. I love Harris

I agree with Harris on most things except he does have a touch of TDS

He's totally wrong about religion.

as someone who is active in Tech Forums, I know that people would be less fanatic fanboys if they had a religion fill their hole in their heart.

People don't believe in God, they believe in some leather Jacket wearing Assholes.

That is not an improvement.

Fanboys act like highly religious people, like you insult their faith when you tell them that you don't like certain aspects of the Company or their Products.

I guess you're right. I try to listen to the message more than follow the person. Like if JBP went full SJW or Alt-Right, I would definitely back away

"People don't believe in God, they believe in some leather Jacket wearing Assholes."
wot

@Beemann Him for example:

JBP puts a ridiculous amount of time and energy into countersignalling against the alt-right.

but there are other things like Fruits, consoles, clothes and any other shit imaginable.

who dis fuk? I've never been religious fyi

going by the actual definition of religion

@devpav Problem is the Alt-Right has a couple of valid points and the fight against them is kinda pointless as (almost) nobody advocates for violence in the Alt-Right.

@Beemann Jen Hsun Huang, CEO of nVidia

Maybe JBP does it to give himself more room to stick to his IQ realism.

@devpav he does it because he's against identitarian shit

You know what an Alt-Righter would say about that? 😉

so his primary targets are left and right wing identitarians

I know that JBP is basically a boomer conservative.

But its also another thing to thiink of: Sometimes you fight that thing the hardest because you don't want to accept their truth, because you don't want to admit that that side has a couple of points.

```I know that JBP is basically a boomer conservative.```
Burp, wrong. He's a lefty. But he knows "the Terror" of the 20th Century as that is what he has studied. And he doesn't want that. Also he likes money.

Or as he would say: There are no right wing Psychologists.

isnt that a bit of an odd thing to say after insisting that all Atheists worship products?

@Beemann I didn't say that. I said that with religion we wouldn't have the Fanboy Wars. That is my Statement. I never said all 😉

"People don't believe in God, they believe in some leather Jacket wearing Assholes." this is a generalized statement

True but it does mean most, not all 😉

or in General

re: Harris specifically https://samharris.org/a-plea-for-spirituality/

Harris believes in deep, meaningful experiences outside of religion. So not just rampant consumerism and nihilism

wich is basically Religion 😉

no, it isnt

Its just a religion without: a) god, b) calling it a religion.

a religion refers to a faith or supernaturally based org/set of practices

if you want to broaden the definition to mean basically anything, then you're no longer having a proper discussion of Harris' opposition to religion

JBP's muh individualism vs collectivism is typical conservatism, not leftism.
