I knew Sam Harris was deranged over a decade ago. He thought he could debate for atheism against someone who was debating for faith in God, and instead of admitting defeat he brought out the red herrings and other fallacies to prop up his position. Yeah he was too proud, and chose to waste everyone's time instead of admitting wrong.
He has already fallen a long way since his book, 'the end of faith', sent him up in the fad of new atheism in the mid 00's. I spent a good decade fighting his and others reasoning & supporters, and only backed off 8-10 years ago when it was clear the new atheism fad was receding.
I wish no ill-will on him, but it's sad to see he's become even more deranged since. I never spoke to him directly (to my knowledge) but i know i'd be able to get through to him if given the chance.

His fall will be great

Doubt it to the last part
