Stuff I found interesting or amusing and thought I'd share.

- Can Sam Harris pull back from his Covid lunacy? Reminded of people saying "Mussolini made the trains run on time but then went too far." Harris is Mussolini at this point.

- Have to agree with Donald Trump - General Mark Miley is an awful human.

- All eyes on medical AI. Know that many major companies have tried to make medical AI work in the US without much success so this is encouraging.

- Justin Trudeau applauds Nazi. Tar and feathers? Dustbin of history? Your choice Canada. 

Sam Harris on Wisdom

From Tim Ferriss' book Tools of Titans. Trump Derangement Syndrome may have broken Sam Harris' brain but the above is still excellent life advice.

Sam Harris

Once upon a time I followed Sam Harris on Twitter and listened to his podcast. I first stopped listening to his podcast because I found him too pretentious. Then as he became unhinged by Trump and then COVID I first unfollowed him on Twitter then had to mute his account. Now Sam Harris has rage-deleted his Twitter account altogether. For such a smart person he seemingly couldn't understand this simple advice from GK Chesterton.

This post does an excellent job of detailing how Sam Harris slowly morphed into Keith Olbermann before our very eyes: The End of Faith... In Sam Harris.

It would be amusing if someone started a Sam Harris parody Twitter account that posted just big pharma COVID related talking points and anti-Trump rants. Think that would be funny. Maybe call it "Woking Up." Not piling on here but sometimes mocking is the best remedy and Sam Harris deserves mocking at this point.
