So, my podcast app of choice has a bunch of top recommended podcasts, and most of them I have no interest in, but one of the top ones is is "Waking Up with Sam Harris" and if I could just hide ANY of those recommended podcasts it would be that one. Sam Harris gives Atheists (like me) a bad name, and for fuck's sake, Atheists do _not_ need any help in looking bad.
asshole atheists, continued Show more
Sam Harris has the worst of all New Atheist traits: he's a sexist, racist, dipshit, who is also convinced that he is a Completely Rational Scientific Human Being, and therefore all his sexist, racist bullshit is not actually sexist or racist, but instead _completely justified_ because science. The very possibility that he might just be unquestioningly embracing his own innate biases doesn't even occur to him because SCIENCE AND RATIONALITY!!!
