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.
