lol, this guy is so intellectually bankrupt. I thought they hated "whataboutism?" Oh, they only pretend to hate it when they accuse conservatives of doing it.
Here's the thing about people like Sam Harris: they have a background in oration. They're good at speaking. For some reason, the ability to string a sentence together is often conflated with having something meaningful to say. It's not the same thing, and Sammy is a perfect example of that.
He is exactly the type of person Plato warned about. Sophists.
Yes, that's precisely the term for it!
It feels like the rise of social media and celebrity culture have given the sophist types more power than ever - certainly they have easy ways now of influencing feeble minds. But they also present a real danger outside of the internet, as we've come to see from the COVID situation. These idiot sophists and their proclivity to "speak from authority" are a big reason why so many were duped into taking the jab.
