Greatest respect for Sam Harris. A man of integrity, open-mindedness, depth and intelligence. It is such a relief to listen to lucidity and reason amid the world’s confusion and chaos.
Sorry, but he has jettisoned all pretext of intellectual honesty with his Covid hysteria and TDS, repeatedly demanding that people should blindly accept the authority of public institutions, despite their obvious ineptitude and corruption, for fear of the spector of what might arise in their stead.

The most telling part of the interview was when Jonah Golberg said "I wish we had more settled dogma" and then critiqued the position that says "all unique wisdom is suspect"..."we're smarter than people were in the past." This just highlights Jonah's desire for authority, a desire to be told what to do because he doesn't want to be indepenednt and think for himself. Every great achievement, every great discovery, invention, innovation, progress, is because of something new, something that challenged the old. Wisdom is not wisdom because it's old, it's wisdom because it's true, universal, timeless. Conservatives need to more beyond the worship of the old, the worship of tradition.. It is a false dichotomy to say that you either adhere to the old, or to the new. You want to adhere to the true, the moral, the just, in a principled fashion, regardless of the age of the belief. Many old beliefs are true and valid, many are not and need to be challenged and upended and replaced with something better. But that requires people who are self-confident in their reasoning and moral righteousness, which only comes from epistemological certainty.
15:52- that’s what bothered me most about the first Star Wars movie - only Hans Solo and Luke Skywalker received medals from the princess, not any of the nonhuman characters, whether robots or Wookiees, even though they fought just as bravely.
Well said! I also think conservatism shouldn’t be something you identify with as deeply as many conservatives do. It shouldn’t be as ideological as it is today. It makes sense to value those principles or maintain traditions, but only to the extent that they remain truly relevant. Beyond that, embracing progressivism is just rational. Especially in our world, where everything seems to be slipping out through our fingers. (Like AI)
Very well put man, I admire many of the people in older generations but one of their worst qualities is desperately holding onto traditional beliefs for the comfort afforded by just believing what they where taught
"To be biased for the local is not irrational" Something I've always though and argued for. It's not even particularly profound, but quoted it because the statement is pure Sam Harris. Concise and cuts to the core of the question. I always appreciate his ability to drill right into the heart of things.
Sorry, Jonah, but the solution to fringe people jumping out of The Overton Window is NOT dogma. The best way to win the toddler's game of endless "why?" is to provide compelling answers which make THINKING an attractive, powerful, irresistible option. Dogma is for dogmatists.
I know you’re not a huge podcast at the moment and perhaps don’t have the manpower but it would increase the quality of these podcasts to put in chapters/timestamps so people can jump to the topics they’re interested in.
no, science doesn't have all the answers but it has most of them. given the record of science vs all the other non-scientific theories I'll stick with science.
Meaning is very important to our species. Why? I don't know. What evolutionary advantage does this drive have? I don't know. I don't think science can touch this one. Otherwise, science can carry a lot of weight.
@@gooddaysahead1 I think science can touch it, at least a little bit. The drive we call meaning has an evolutionary advantage if it helps the organism reproduce. If hunting animals and connecting social bonds didn't feel meaningful what we call humans wouldn't be around today.
Hey Jonah, please stop playing semantic games re: dogma in order to make it sound like a Good Thing. It ain't. And no, there is nothing that should be out of reach of discussion.
We could 20 years ago but Republicans have lost their minds. It’s like liberals have a bad haircut but conservatives have defected themselves but apolitical people want us to pretend the conservatives don’t smell in the name of “unbiased”.
I really appreciate this conversation. I'll definitely be listening a few more times.As an "old" atheist, over the last few years, I've become increasingly sympathetic to the idea that most of humanity has and will continue to require some manner of "useful fiction" or myth to form and maintain functional societies. At least for the foreseeable future. I just don't have enough "faith" that we can pull it together on our own.
I have only listened 18 minutes in, but here is my thought on dogma in a world with problems that's new in todays exposure culture and 15 minutes of fame. I would love to see "popular" Nazis invited to serious debates. Give them the platform. Humanity trying to parent themselves is the reason humans burst the fabric of what society we created.
Every time I see Sam on a podcast in that same room, I try to see what the book are 🙂. Probably so I can buy a couple to seem intellectual.... Great conversation, thanks
Sam brings up dogma and we all know what he means by that, and then the host starts a whole conversation simply by defining dogma in a lighter way that just confuses the listener as to what he's talking about.
@@aroemaliuged4776I guess only the stupid lower class would ever deny knowing definitions of simple words and also deny that others could possibly have a shared vocabulary.
The leadership in institutions is often moderate and conservative. The CIA director is not a liberal. The FBI director was a conservative. So conservatives are present in institutions, especially in leadership positions. Hell, I'm a social democrat, but I'm a conservative when it comes to economics and institutions. I think people confuse conservatives with lower taxes, no regulation, and so on. These positions make little sense without the context. Taxes depend on the circumstances. Tax cuts are not always good. You're a conservative if you want to preserve institutions. And I'm not against improving our institutions, but it has to follow a certain process: make small changes, test them, correct them, and make other changes. Big, bold changes often lead to intractable mistakes. I often think Conservatives like to play the victim.
28:16 "there is an innate religious sense"..thats really the existential question or fear of death and existence. The evolutionary story of storytelling, , is just icing on the sociological cake.
7:56 - we need the same dogmatic stance when it comes to Reproductive Choice. The right to an abortion shouldn’t be up for debate, no more than the abolition of slavery or votes for women. I’ll never forgive the Democrats for failing to write this into the constitution when they had the chance.
Cooperation come here in front and remind! Lord many Who am I? Easily can be deceived be used as puppets, pawns, nor tumbleweeds Cooperating not knowing aims resting upon can EASILY CAN BE BLOWN AWAY IN FRONT!
This is a great conversation, but I continue to wince whenever Harris talks about how easy is for a secular sociey to agree on basic moral principles. He bravely set about this mission to snatch spirituality from the jaws of religion with his excellent book "Waking Up." Ten years later and has virtually nothing to show for it.
Jordan Peterson recitation of Karl Young and the whole "metaphoric substrate of the human psyche", "act as if I believe" assertions. Claims of innate religiosity as part of the human psyche allows people to make assumptions, and based on these assumptions, "act as if", rather than responding to any fact(s). All of it reinforced through the dogmatic actions of religion.
To be critical of Sam Harris is .. ok .. what are you critical of His non bias? His critical thinking I’m fkn done with the fkn virtue signaling middle class sons amd daughters of rich capital owners that have a dkn view
As a very young child I decided separately and alone that if there truly was a god the path to that god would be so clear as to be unmistakeable to anyone seeking that god. I say that in the face of being told by my culture and my parents and church that there was no question such a god existed. But all around me I was made aware of varying religious credos that varied even in my family’s declared brand of S. Baptist Christian faith. Right then I guessed that the issue wasn’t god but special status attached to belief to a particular identification of “our god is this, this and this rather than that or those other things about their god”.
Dear Mr. Goldberg, I would like to suggest that the way we view Civil War is not an example of a dogma. It is an example of application of the self-evident truth that we're all created equal. I think that the distinction between a dogma and (the few) self-evident truths is at the heart of the enlightened experiment that made our nation possible. Thank you!
As an avowed fan of Sam's I think it's high time he takes a public speaking trainer: the constant stuttering, the parasite words (you know) and so on, make it very hard to listen to him for a long time. Other than that, a great host with very deep and profound insights and challenges to Sam, which is always refreshing.
Hope either of you can get Dean Ornish MD, Michael Greger MD, or Neal Barnard MD on your podcast one day. It's long overdue given that several guests with opposing views have been on.
23:45 My belief: Shared belief is the language of the community. It would be an advantage to survival. It’s a shared basis for moral reasoning, allowing shared perceptions.
I generally am fine with Sam, except for his stated views on consciousness, which are flatly idiotic. It's clear why he holds these views - admitting that there is any kind of mystery there is counterproductive to his "message." But the truth is we have no idea whatsoever how consciousness works - none of our science even begins to approach it. So I'm afraid Sam and others in his camp are just stuck with the fact that there are still MAJOR MYSTERIES outstanding about how some aspects of reality work. Bottom line is "we don't know," and when you don't know you really can't take the same sort of strong positions.
It's unfortunate that it is not possible to properly discuss political subjects in the comments on RUclips, as RUclips deletes/hides comments like crazy, especially longer ones. You should see the comments it removes - comments as "harmful" as this one.
In what other conflict, historical or contemporary, did you insist on the parity of casualties on both sides? Seems a bit of a nit to pick. War is not engaged in the business of equality of outcomes, and to suggest that it is, is to betray an unqualified ignorance on the topic.
Jonah: Sometimes it's good to not think for yourself and just accept nonsense ideas from religion and other sources. Sam: ...no? Jonah: Well, we don't burn witches anymore Sam: ...okay?
It would be a great opportunity for Sam to plug “Waking Up” when they discuss the role of emotions. Unfortunately, nearly all human roles are played by human emotions. People make choices, particularly political choices, entirely on emotional terms. If only they could wake up and realize they shouldn’t believe everything they think. We would all benefit. Our unified mind lacks so much control.
Wise and Scribes will say, from HIS mouth liken unto a 2 Edges Sword as the SUN shineth in HIS strength. Fell at HIS FEET AS DEAD. Fear not my shared "i" Am.
15:52- that’s what bothered me most about the first Star Wars movie - only Hans Solo and Luke Skywalker received medals from the princess, not any of their nonhuman companions, (be they robots or Wookiees), even though they fought just as bravely.
Interesting to consider the value of dogma. It seems these days that it’s helpful to have some settled questions, because if you endlessly revisit ridiculous or abhorrent questions, we sadly seem to have a somewhat sizable percentage of the population who will buy into even the most absurd positions. It may be better to leave some issues aside than to stir up 20% of the population who are made to believe that slavery, or sex abuse, etc., is actually defensible and good.
I'd like to point out that use of the phrase "Jack Asses on the Right" is not particularly helpful. It does paint a particular side of the political spectrum with a brush that is most likely wider than the intent of the statement. Balanced dialogue is welcomed, and I, as a more conservative listener, am happy to not consider myself a member of the "Jack Ass" fringe of either side.
Engineers have designed vehicle traffic laws and they generally work well. Imagine each individual religion issues a license with their own religious laws on how to drive your vehicle. Then with all these different regulations and laws, let everybody out on the roads... Chaos. . Kinda like a world with different religions.
People make one mistake when it comes to AI. The AI can't read your mind. Even if it can predict average behavior, it won't be able to predict your behavior. Also, robots and AIs would die out without humans. They require too much energy and are too fragile. A human can live off of an apple and a little water. A robot can't do that. And when his leg breaks, it won't grow back. Someone has to repair it. Robot legs don't grow on trees. The leg alone involves 100 different businesses. Robots would never survive a longer war without human help.
Gotta love the condescension that only brilliant people can be good without religion. WOW . What a bizarre notion which says far more about the speaker than whom he is speaking of.
But it seems as though Sams preference for Kamala and therefore Tim Waltz as potential president, comes from a place of pure emotion and aesthetic sensibilities rather than anything to do with rationality
Whatever you may call religion, organizing force, dogma or mythology with your scientific position do you ever give any evidence that it is possible to have a society without religion. There has never been any civilization through the history and in any location in the world without religion and you are concluding it is an unnecessary imposition. Logically you should be concluding that religion is an integral part of social evolution and humans have evolved to have a religion. Modern society, physics and mathematics needs new religion. Call it axiom for social development. Iraj Aghdasi, MD

But it seems as though Sams preference for Kamala and therefore Tim Waltz as potential president, comes from a place of pure emotion and aesthetic sensibilities rather than anything to do with rationality
Like I say "All distinctions matter", even if it leads one to realize how random all of humanity is.
Whatever you may call religion, organizing force, dogma or mythology with your scientific position do you ever give any evidence that it is possible to have a society without religion. There has never been any civilization through the history and in any location in the world without religion and you are concluding it is an unnecessary imposition. Logically you should be concluding that religion is an integral part of social evolution and humans have evolved to have a religion. Modern society, physics and mathematics needs new religion. Call it axiom for social development.

Students shared "i" Am will say, bring all colts of men in front Sam! Will come in front nor hide us from Who sitteth upon the THRONE and unto the Lamb?
2 Edges Sword our Son of Man and all HE adopted as Sons! Yes, HE even among thee wise and Scribes HE adopted!
How could leaving religion make things worse? For myself, nothing.
But if you need religion to not be an asshole, a rapist, or a murderer, etc., I say keep it.
But what a sad commentary on any human being is that?!
Concerning the Olive....REAL and the new wine. Who sitteth upon the Horse will say, do not hurt the oil and the wine! Horsemen will say, Why none ABLE to come in front of our LORD?
Hosts Meeks shared "i" Am and OLIVE....REAL HOLY ANGELS will say, remember all thy shared "i" Am in front of our LORD!
Students shared "i" Am go remind and comes with comfort concerning! Hosts Meeks shared "i" Am will say, come out from them! Nevertheless will be carried away among them!
Loved it
Why you made this videos so long. Who have two hours to sit to listen. Why don’t edit it for the key points
How can you bodge an interview with Sam Harris?! This convo was very difficult to listen to. No wonder this is a 'niche' podcast.
