    A conspiracy theorist is someone who's wrong 95 percent of the time but thinks they're a genius for the 5 percent they do get right.
  • @mosshark
    Thanks David for having Sam on.

  • @Teflon247
    I don't agree with Sam about everything but if nothing else, I really appreciate his clarity.
  • @AzimuthTao
    Sam warned about the dangers of Trump way before he was elected president. And everything he worried about came to pass and worse. I always enjoy hearing his clear-headed reasoning.
  • @LanceLegend
    Sam was the only IDWer who came out with his integrity intact.
  • @freshfalcon3996
    Sam has unimpeachable intellectual integrity. He's part of an ever-shrinking club.
  • @doyle6000
    I'm a big fan of Sam! Thanks for having him on!
  • @legitdragon6202
    When you're a conspiracy theorist you're never wrong, there's just another explanation/conspiracy 😎
  • Epistemology should be mandatory in schools. In the US, civics should also be mandatory. With AI developing so quickly, the methods to debunk falsehood need to also be taken seriously or there will be no hope for democracy in the future.
  • @yogiperogy
    One of your best David! Sam Harris is the kind of guest I would certainly love to see on your show again. Amazing,impressive genius!
  • @Socrataclysm
    Sam Harris has changed my life more than once. Love this man. Thanks for a great interview David.
  • @evillemike2009
    "... radicalized by their own audience." That's a pretty scary thing.
  • @GymRat7274
    I have 100% respect for Sam Harris. David, thanks for having him on your show.

    I call "audience capture" "milking the mob"...

    Yeah… it’s not new. When I was 12 on Y2K-eve my family had us standing on a deserted footy oval waiting for the end of the world. Spent all evening giving out sausages in bread to the people at the actual party in a building nearby… but they had to come to us. Mum now hand-waves it off as: “Oh that, that was just a computer virus thing” Fortunately they weren’t into actually ‘drinking the cool-aid’ The whole family are still into every conspiracy, but I cannot say the same about the cool-aid. Just tired of the anti-vax bs.
