Sam Harris is a piece of trash and he should be thrown in the fucking garbage where he belongs

Sam, you have stated some nonsense about Hinduism and India, and your comparison to Western values is completely flawed and intellectually shallow…. Firstly, Sati was a fringe practice that goes against the tenets of the Bhagavad Gita (one of the major Hindu texts) since suicide is considered to be the biggest sin. It was very rare, and had been abolished at times before the British came. The caste system is not an integral part of Hindu religious belief, but more of a societal issue; think about it, what caste are the Hare Krishnas (they don’t have any caste, but are still Hindus)? The caste system has been blown out of proportion by the West. How does the caste system compare to the brutal slavery that the West was responsible for against Africans and then the racist attitudes of the West towards other human beings? Remember MLK drew inspiration from Gandhi, an Indian, in order to rid segregation of the African Americans in the U.S. The West has been responsible for witch burnings, slavery, racism, genocide (Native Americans, Jews in WWII), brutal imperialism, segregation, oppression of homosexuals, and the dropping of atomic bombs that incinerated over 200,000 innocent children, women, and men, numerous wars and support of cruel regimes all over the world, etc. The West still eats animals on a daily basis and displayed a total disregard for non-human life. The progress that the west has made has primarily been made possible with the exploitation of other humans. The British empire, extracted resources from other lands. The U.S. was established on the territory of Native Americans after stealing their land and killing them off, and was made prosperous economically by the forced labor of slaves taken from Africa. Essentially, while the West certainly has produced many great inventions, don’t forget that witch burnings, imperialism, slavery, genocide, segregation, stealing land, the atomic bomb, apartheid, etc. are also Western “advances”. In contrast, the Hindu civilization (India), which is thousands of years older, has not participated in any imperialism whatsoever. India never invaded any other country, was devoid of slavery, respected the sanctity of all sentient life; it gave the world tenets of nonviolence, spirituality, yoga, vegetarianism, notion of karma, etc…. 70% of the world’s vegetarians are in India, showing how comparatively backward the west is with respect to respecting the sanctity of all life…In India, do you see kids being shot up in schools? The rest of the world is confused by the obsession of guns in the U.S. and the inability to protect children at school…It’s needless to say that spiritually, India has always been far advanced compared to the West. And don’t forget the fact that the divorce rate in the U.S. is 50% compared to 1% percent in India. And western countries on average have a very high divorce rate. Effectively what that suggests is that the west has completely failed miserably compared to a place like India when it comes to the institution of marriage. What good are all the inventions when you can’t even keep a family unit together?…In countries like India, parents are respected, and taken care of whereas in large part in the West, the elderly are just thrown into nursing homes. How advanced is that? Are those human rights? Let me reiterate that India has been spiritually, way more advanced, and has shown more success in keeping families together than the West… Incidentally, Hinduism is one of the few religions in the world that does not condemn homosexuality, in contrast to the Western religions. India has had a female head of the country, Hinduism is the only religion in the world that worships the feminine form and energy. India just passed a bill that would insure 30% of seats in the parliament reserved for women. Has the U.S. done that? So where are the human rights? India has been accepting toward every religion for thousands of years. It is one of the few countries in the world in which there was no discrimination or hatred against the Jews. So I suggest that you rethink your notion of human rights being a western invention, particularly in the context of the holocaust, hatred towards Jews, racism, segregation, etc. Overall, the Indian civilization has shown a far greater respect for life and has killed (and inflicted pain upon) less number of both human beings and other sentient living creatures compared to the West. With respect to the West and India, next time maybe you should think more broadly and do some homework before talking. You don’t want a “pot calling the kettle black” (a Western phrase) situation.

Two of the Great thinker, we have.

This guy is off. The soul exists, you can’t measure it.

SAM NAILED TRUMP 8 YEARS AGO AND HIS ANALYSIS HAS AGED LIKE A FINE WINE 🍷.

The other good stuff 😭

The worst thing about the plane isn't that it's in the air, it's that it's a little cramped tube that I can't get out of until after landing, a claustrophobic feeling and a trapped feeling that's at its worst when the plane starts rolling and it's too late to get off. Larger planes with more interior space are somewhat easier to deal with than smaller ones. Other closed in and/or trapped situations (like cave tours with narrow tunnels and getting MRIs) are also difficult. Closing my eyes during takeoff helps, and after reaching cruising altitude, getting lost in distractions helps. During an MRI a year ago, keeping my eyes closed and focusing on the patterns of the sounds helped. The anxiety of panic attacks tends to come in waves. At the peak of a wave, there's a very heavy sense of impending doom, then after a little time passes the severity comes down though not completely, but then it comes up again to another horrible peak, over and over and over again. After a severe panic attack episode, hours to days of not feeling well physically and being emotionally shaken up. Tried CBT decades ago, didn't help. Paxil (SSRI) helped though it caused weight gain. Have recently started trying meditation a little bit but not yet a consistent or dedicated practice. I've been wondering lately if there might be a way to try to desensitize at home such as if there was a simulated flight option through a VR headset or somewhere a bunch of videos of flying from the point of view of the seat on a plane to maybe habituate to the visual cues that trigger panic, because it's too expensive to fly frequently enough to desensitize that way. There's probably no single solution or simple solution for severe anxiety, and different treatments or combinations of treatments are likely to be more suitable for different people rather than one size fits all.

Sam Harris is a trump derangement nutcase.

Honestly i feel Jordan Peterson was just troll throughout the conversation, truth can not be grounded on the basis on survival, that undermines the whole word and it is very dangerous.

I was circumsized as an adult because it was causing me issues being too tight. I can say that there is very little difference in sensation for me, and it solved my problems. I don't agree with doing it to children by default though, but I agree with Sam that the effects are minimal if at all noticable, at least for me.

Genital mutilation is Genital mutilation!

Is this on spotify?

Jordan’s viewpoint is predicated on Stockholm syndrome, not well-being.

What a disgusting take, Sam. You should be ashamed

Iran was a Zoroastrian country with a sizeable number of Christians, Jews, Buddhists living there before the savage onslaught of Muslim Arabs in the 7th century. With massacres after massacres , Iranian were submitted to the rule of invaders. Many were forced by sword and many more through unjust treatment under colonial, discriminatory, and repressive Sharia law, converted to Islam. Iran was a great nation of Art, industry, architecture, culture and civilization when Muslim Arabs with their peaceful religion, invaded and plundered it.

Two f465, One b3d. Cool stories, bros!

Douglas visited my home in the 90s. He was .. headless. And Richard Lang is a great guy as well. Just egoless Space.

Wtf Stoicism wasn't even mentioned

Jordan Peterson is literally a postmodernist in denial

i can feel Sam's frustration with Jordan disagreeing on a very simple concept, the guy is a master of obfuscation and fuzz

Objective morality by evolution I don’t think works. Because evolution doesn’t necessarily keep you accountable for your actions. If morality comes from evolution, then all our morals come from evolution, including “evil ones.” If there is no god, there are no oughts, just is. Your not obligated by anything. Even if it is wrong, why listen to it if you can benefit more listening to your selfish desires.

By the estimates of historians, during the Mughal period in India, at least 80 million Hindus were killed and countless more were converted by sword and sold to slavery by the Islamic rulers. Hundreds of thousands of Hindu temples were destroyed in North India and Central India. Some of the most important ones were converted into Mosques in order to showcase Islamic conquest. These atrocities including this largest genocide in the human history were done in the name of Islam. So Islamic barbarism is not a recent phenonmenon. Quran teaches exactly this kind of behavior.

Here's the gig man. as far as inner turmoil goes.... they take the cake!

Comparing FGM and MGM is NOT done to minimize the horrors of what females go through it is made to emphasize that BOTH are done without consent, are mutilations and done because of religious nonsense. I have never met anybody mentioning FGM in relation to MGM to minimize FGM. Please also keep in mind that there are varying degrees of FGM and some (see Malaysia for example) remove far less tissue than a male circumcision. I repeat again: FGM is (for the most part) worse but it's both Genital Mutilation without consent and done because of religious/superstitious nonsense. Any mutilation to the human body should only be done with consent or if it's necessary due to health issues that make it necessary. Even with consent, it is very much debatable on what ground that "consent" should be considered an acceptable one (who actually may give consent, what age does the consent giver have/need to give consent, what are the reasons, what harm does it cause, etc., etc., etc.).

I wish Peterson would realize that his confusion about truth in the paradigm of pragmatism comes from reading too much James and too little Peirce.

I don't understand what JP is arguing here. Is he saying truth is subjective?

So the Soul could not possibly be a form of energy as yet undiscovered by science, a form of energy that carries your nature/personality as potential? If not can you explain to me how personality traits such as tolerance, empathy, honesty, creativity and the like manifest themselves in our brain's structure and processes and describe how the brain employs these qualities to for example make a decision? I hope you can because I'm not aware of any other human on the planet who can.

Sam seems to undermine that he doesn’t understand that, on the the most micro level, there is no such thing as empirical truth because he presupposes that truth can be instantiated by measurement and precise calculation. I need a metaphysical framework of reality to use my consciousness to instantiate the existence of a cup. I don’t need to measure it. Also, what we perceive as true is like seeing a part of a photo, think that part which you see is a face, only to analyze is from a macro lens to see it was a pattern on a tree. That means what you that was true wasn’t actually true. It was true based on your presuppositions. I think this is what Jordan is saying.

Jordan's hidden reasons change truth based on his identity's survival concerns. Jordan has said that up into his twenties, he lied 95% of the time. Lying (hiding and pretending) is a strategy to cope and survive captivity in an incompetence hierarchy. An emotional incompetence hierarchy is a social and emotional predicament in which a child is held developmentally captive by incompetent parenting-- threatening their survival. Sam is missing conscious consideration of the hidden reasons behind the viewpoint from which Jordan is looking. Jordan's limitations and reasoning only make sense looking from the viewpoint of a boy who is trying to cope and survive by being "nested inside" of his parents' delusional hierarchies.

Ok I’m not even close to being smart enough to understand what the conversation was about however it was interesting thank you both 😅

This shill is a zog bot that attacks islam and Christianity. You never hear him speak about Judaism (more vile than quran and bible combined) How come sam harris NEVER mentions pedophilia of his own religion practice Metzitzah B'peh. He is an agent of the Zionist to make you hate other religions except his satanic one that does pedophilia and killing innocent Palestinians

The moment you realize that such a short video has the potential to reshape the course of your life. The ideas are simple but presented in a subtle way.

He realizes all stoic philosophers thought atheism was on par with abandoning reason altogther and often debated against Epicureans who denied providence right? Even David Hume held that belief.

I’ve been listening more to Jordan recently, and listening to this conversation a second time REALLY made me understand Jordan’s position. While I agree with Sam, Jordan is making a different claim, and I understand why he’s doing it.

If you can tell someone's beliefs from their actions, such as if you believe you can fly you will jump off a high place without hesitation, then no one believes misgendering and the pronoun game are actually real things. If you refer to any normal person by the wrong pronouns, it doesn't even register, or at worst doesn't even phase them. Meaning, that is the normal reaction of someone who knows the truth of who/what they are. Therefore we can deduce that if someone has a very divergent reaction, it casts severe doubt on what they profess to believe about themselves. They know the truth, they just don't like it. And they want the rest of the population to also deny the truth.

Imagine someone having the pronouns massa/massa's.

My pronouns are all the digits of pi, and all the digits of the square root of two. Good luck.

Everybody is afraid of the Muslims, the bullies of the planet. They are afraid of admitting that they are afraid in fear that Muslims will accuse them of being afraid.

I'm as relieved now that I'm not living in Canada as I am not to be living in Afghanistan, Iraq, etc. This is beyond insane. It's almost as if stupidity is some sort of new syndrome yet to be discovered.

Sam literally has such a simple argument that takes absolutely NOTHING into account. political,socioeconomical, geopolitical, historical, this guy literally thinks islam promotes cliterectomies. This guy LITERALLY knows NOTHING about islam even the most anti islamic thinkers know better than him😂😂😂😂

Science is a western breakthrough. I think the people burned at the stake would love to disagree

sam has no clue what he is talking about. remember his dead babies comment? Sam obviously is not taking everything into context Sam literally believes, islam promotes cliterectomies😂😂😂 this guy literally knows NOTHING about islam

This might be the first time I’m disappointed with Peterson. He’s absolutely, fundamentally wrong about truth. I wish that Sam Harris used a video recording of his wife cheating instead of pictures of his wife with another man… truth is not relative to its utility. The smallpox lab analogy was great. Whether or not scientists use the smallpox for good or for bad has no bearing on the molecular makeup on smallpox. Let’s take it to water… one lab is using H2O to do bad things and one lab using H2O to go good things. It doesn’t change the truth of the fact that the molecule they are working with is H2O. “The concept of truth flows free of anyone’s intention.” I’m really surprised at Peterson. Still love him though.

Hello Sam harris

I understand what Yuval is saying when he said _"Suffering certainly isn't pain"_ but in some cases in using the word 'suffering', you are describing the conscious experience of pain. For example, if a dog got hit by a car and was still alive but in pain, you wouldn't say that the dog is paining would you? No, you would say that the dog is suffering, suffering from pain.

Hearing Sam Harris explain things for the first time is like being suddenly cured after a lifetime of deafness.

but sam, the entire mathematics, algorithm, algebra etc were all arab inventions! and these inventions werent used to make zealotry more accurate as far as i am concerned

"Do you have kids?" "No, just dogs." "That explains a lot." If Harrari had cats, they might help him meditate - after my second vipassana retreat, my landlady's cat would sit on my lap while I was meditating and fall asleep. I couldn't get up while it was still sat there!
