  1. How is Sam still confused on what should have been done about Hunters lap top?!? This is shocking to me. I mean come on !

  2. Good discussion . I often shake my head wondering how we have gotten to this place? The current race/gender/trans narratives are so warped that sometimes I feel like we are all being punked . But we arent. I can’t see this issue getting resolved either as long as those in power are afraid to be honest about it

  4.  @Stumashedpotatoes  I don’t blame you. I’m not Jewish but even I’m shocked at the sudden rise of anti-semetism and I don’t use that word often. From what I’ve seen, discussion or debate is not helping much. The antisemitism is deeply ingrained into many on the left and right

  5. It’s mostly due to social media and echo chambers though.. the damage that mainstream and social media has caused when it comes to these issues is quite extreme. I say this as a guy that didn’t even vote in 2024

  6. Anything that has to do with Trump causes Sam to lose all rationality

  7. Agree, we need much more studies about various trans issues but I’m afraid like you said - will it be done by researchers that only want to push their agenda or narrative? I’m afraid it will as what type of person with a nice career wants to take this issue head on and risk the huge headaches that come with it?

  8. Trump is much better at the political game than Many of you think he is

  9.  @bathhatingcat8626  Sam still Isn’t sure whether mainstream media should have published info on hunters laptop. This is disturbing considering how rational Sam thinks he is
    9
  10. But to me it seems that as long as universities keep pumping out propaganda then not much will change. Good luck trying to get academia to change

  11. “Woke thing is a non issue” Please keep thinking this folks but just don’t be shocked when you lose again and again .. the woke thing is greatly exaggerated by the right but to call it a non issue is just stupid

  12.  @DerekMoore82  I think Saad really drives it home to Sam(on twitter) about how bad a president Biden has been so far and it pisses Sam off quite a bit
    7
  13. If Kamala gets in there then we deserve everything we get ..
    7
  14.  @vratyasvakyas6022  yeah Sam at this point rarely has guests on that disagree strongly with him and i understand why. Sam explained it on Tom Bilyeus podcast - he said he has spent many hours talking to people with different viewpoints and really seems to realize that it’s mostly a pointless endeavor .. from what I’ve seen I agree with him. Debates are very rarely ever productive

  15. Pretty much, as soon as Sam mentions Trump I just groan
    7
  16.  @AlanDantes76 yeah Sam is one of the bravest liberals out there in terms of combatting what he thinks is wrong - doesn’t matter how taboo the topic is
    6
  17. I find the jk Rowling situation to be just bizarre. If you would have told us 5 years ago that this would happen we’d be like “No way”.
    6
  18.  @Krestshinable unfortunately Trump broke Sam and many others liberals minds. I say this as someone that didn’t even vote for Trump. What I’ve seen the past 5-6 years is just shocking
    6
  19. Problem is, those college students(and professors) that need to see this won’t
    5
  20. I like Sam but he suffers from stage 3 TDS.

  21. “Living nightmare” Guys it’s going to be fine.. I find it comical every 4 years - the losing party acts like the world is going to end bbbuuuutt it never does lol.. it keeps going and for the most part, things improve
    5
  22. Also I do see more of the identity politics being played by the right like Sam mentions BUT what exactly does Sam expect them to do? Just sit back and let the left play identity politics full bore ? Of course not, the right is doing what any sane opponent would do! This is why I’ve been warning the left about playing this game to begin with
    5
  23. I’m pretty much completely burned out on politics .. I hope it can course correct but I doubt it
    5
  24. That’s social media in general. I just came from instagram and most posts end up with folks bashing each other.
    5
  25.  @Mattsretiring  Sam still doesn’t understand why people are going to vote for Trump. I haven’t voted since 2012 but I definitely understand why people choose Trump . He has a huge blind spot in this area
    5
  26. “We have to stop the politics of identity” I agree but how do we do this?
    5
  27. But I assume this happened online? So much of the woke discussion is happening online - I rarely encounter it in everyday life
    5
  28. They still don’t realize why the lost the last election lol I don’t like either party so it’s quite frustrating to see the endless red vs blue nonsense
    5
  29. Exactly!! So many people blasting Trump or Biden for this or that all the while they aren’t giving us practical solutions on how to fix these issues .. so much complaining and very little actual advice on how to fix these issues

  30. But Sams TDS really hurts the discussion
    4
  31. ⁠ @ErikHaugen yeah ever since the term “white supremacy” popped up a few years back I often just scratch my head as to what we are even talking about . I’ve seen that term Thrown out to cover just about anything. Btw many brown people are also religious
    4
  32. Yeah I’m almost finished with this ‘discussion’ and I’m very disappointed with it. I expected much more from it
    4
  33.  @seanmackey6355 do you will only listen to those that voted for Kamala? That’s part of the problem
    4
  34.  @whatarewedoingouthere  I’m actually surprised Douglas didn’t even touch on it
    4
  35.  @marcevan1141 yes it’s only the right that is destructive 😲 .. many of you are just as blind politically as the folks you rail against . Wake up
    4
  36. “Yeah the other side is racist or stupid” .. “that’s why we lost - we are enlightened and they aren’t!” I swear politics fries peoples minds ..
    4
  37. Rapid decline?! Guys, Trump hasn’t been in office that long! Let’s at least give his team time to work . I hope you folks had the same energy when Biden and Kamala completely ignored the border for 3 and half years lol
    4
  38. I personally don’t give a damn what they call this strange fixation on race/gender - let’s just find a term and stick with it lol
    3
  39. That would be a good thing to focus on
    3
  40. How to reduce or eliminate these financial contributions?
    3
  41.  @gnlout7403 agree I am a big fan of Sam Harris but he does have a few blind spots .. I find the political stuff at this point to be mind numbing as there just aren’t enough truly “good faith” people on both sides to make it worthwhile
    3
  42. Voting for Kamala wouldn’t have helped either though - it would just be a different set of problems
    3
  43.  @GKEL18 . But many peoples lives were better off during Trumps first term and he aligns with many on several key issues - deportation is just one .. I’m not anti or pro trump but I get why people voted for him.. I mean, Kamala Harris is what team blue gives us? Really?
    3
  44. I like Sam but he is shockingly irrational when it comes to certain things.
    3
  45.  @PaulStallion  Agree, Trump simply broke a lot of people. It’s made it very difficult to talk about things. I didn’t even vote for Trump but the degree of TDS that I’ve seen is disturbing .
    3
  46. Yeah I don’t see things getting better . I haven’t voted since 2012 but Biden and his side are a complete disaster from what I’ve seen. I don’t want to vote for Trump and I’m sure many others don’t either but voting democrat is borderline masochistic
    3
  47. Exactly . It’s hard for Sam to understand this as he’s coming from such a different headspace .. makes the entire Trump discussion quite difficult - I still don’t think Sam understands why some are so pro-Trump
    3
  48.  @dermotmeuchner2416 what’s the problem if tens of thousands of Immigrants never Learn the native language?!? Is that a serious question?
    3
  49. That would be amazing
    3
  50. I’ve given up on trying to understand that entire conflict .. I honestly still don’t know what is truth
