  1. Konstantin is really a satirist. Read Gulliver's Travels, Animal Farm, or Don Quixote - satirists are often intellectuals.

  2. He basically sounds like any British toff too :- conceited, narcissitic, vainglorious.

  3. Amazing how close my comment is to yours. I wrote and posted my comment without reading yours. These thought leaders and influencers like Sam need to be more rigorous in defending their ideas. If they want respect from me. For example when Sam tells a lie he needs to defend his lies, or renounce them. LOL - Apparently, Sam thinks I'm an "odious person" because I strongly disagree with some of his ideas (I agree with most). I strongly disagree him because Sam told lies; which I called out. I dislike lies. I find lies and liars odious myself.

  4. He's in the tribe of elitists. Narcissists who love to look at themselves.

  5. I came to the conclusion that Sam Harris is a massive hypocrite. He claims to represent reason, but in many ways he's a traitor to reason and to the "intellectual honesty" he says he wants to represent. Much of the Left seem like that. He claims his master value is to be "honest". I don't think so. I think is master value is to be an accepted member of his tribe. Much of the establishment are like him. Notice how well he avoids debating his skeptical critics, such as myself? I'm not his only critic.

  6. When asked why he cheered Trump's account being closed, he wanders off into an endless cul de sac. When you censor, you need to be careful that it's "harmful". Here's Jordan Peterson's defence of free speech: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DpB6eDG5WnY Love to hear Sam attempt a refutation of that with his weasel words, obique non-arguments, and pretend skepticism. "Charlatanism" - Sam's description of people he hates. Hey Sam, let's hear you refute JP.
