Episode 0210 - Sam Harris Would Have Been Right About COVID If Everything Was Different!

The tide of opinion around COVID-19, the government's response, and the mRNA shots are turning worldwide.  People are slowly but surely coming back to their senses, but the seeds of damage have been sown and there is no going back.  Sam Harris, one of the leading public intellectuals, is a very good example of how our thinking around this event was shrouded in our faith in government, politicians, and public institutions.  It shows just how far we have drifted from the principles of individual liberty and fallen into the arms of tyranny.  Join me today as we critique an interview of Sam Harris on John Wood Jr.'s YouTube program, "Uniting America".

Today I speak with Sam Harris, a philosopher, neuroscientist, author, host of The Making Sense podcast, and one of the foremost public intellectuals in the United States, if not the world.  In this conversation, Sam and I talked about his unwillingness to publicly debate proponents of the stolen election claim and skeptics of the COVID-19 vaccine. We do talk about our mutual friend Brett Weinstein, one of the most prominent skeptics of our public health response to COVID, and the reasons why Sam chose not to engage Brett publicly.
