2:42 - "It's fairly amazing that we are in this spot, and social media is largely the reason. It's not entirely the reason. A lot of this falls on Trump, some of it falls on the far Left, but the fact that we can't stay sane as a society right now, that is largely due to the fact that we are simply drowning in misinformation." -Sam Harris
A lot of this falls on the far Left?
So, our choice is Trump, or the far Left.
I sure wish Sam Harris would qualify that statement because it sounds like total BS to me. Trump and the Republicans have flaunted the rules of our government, economy and society ... taking off in the 80's with Reagan, giving what has turned out to be a total or something like 47 trillion dollar robbery, all told, from the working class to the billionaire/corporate class, then taking that money in media and directing it towards both buying out and relentlessly attacking Democrats starting with Clinton. Then stealing the 200 election, engaging in a war paid for on credit ... even after all these economic elites and oligarchs ripped off the society for all that money - they still want the working and middle classes to pay off all of this. Then blocking Obama at every turn ... then stealing another election to install Trump through voter suppression and clever dirty tricks.
And that is the fault of the far FAR LEFT. The far Left are people who have been traumatized, stolen from and then gas-lighted by the likes of Sam Harris and other apparently Right-Wing propagandists who want to blame the Left for everything to discredit and disenfranchise "the Left". Listening to these podcasts have really exposed Sam Harris as a major agent of active deceit and propaganda.
