Dear Sam Harris and Sam Harris’ critics, As an overseas viewer and listener, I realize my perspective on a lot what Sam speaks on and comments on and supports or criticizes is not the same as people living in America. What I do want to say is that we have to let Sam speak his mind on whatever issue he’s talking about because he is analyzing events that affect your country and us around the world and he is speaking in the language of clarity. This videocast is an example of how important it is to let Sam tell us how he analyzes things, because he sees things a lot of us don’t, and it’s up to us to accept or reject what he says, but at least we are getting another point of view. People probably object to how Sam looks at the Trump presidency because of how appalling his critiques are of the current US President. But what everyone should realize is that we are so bombarded with information left, right and center, that to hear Sam Harris’ point of view allows us to have one more very intelligent analysis of unfolding events. You see, most of us don’t realize that social media and the assimilation of portable phones being so prominent in our lives has left us unable define right from wrong on a lot of issues. We have become children again by accepting to be slaves to our comfort zones. It has got to the point where we are tranquilized into being literally walking citadels of our own belief-systems that we have cherry-picked from the 24/7 info blitz we all try to get through and make sense of. Sam Harris is a treasure to the human race because he is staking his reputation and giving his life towards trying to make sense of the pied pipers and faux gods and deceitful leaders who are constantly trying to trick us into believing they are only interested in our well-being. Sam Harris’ has faults like anyone else, but we should not fail to understand that by censoring intellectuals we are cutting off a life-support-line to saving ourselves. Let everyone speak their mind; we are so fortunate to still have this treasured civil right. We can see across the world how in some countries, people like Sam Harris get censored and disappear from public view. Everyone must do their own research: this should be our motto.
