   interesting that sam harris is still on the "we need to trust real experts not tv clowns" kick, like he even uses it to trash trump (game show host) while he's supporting zelenskyyy (comedian)
   
   don't come to me with excuses why they're different, I don't suck off fake expertise, ask sam harris to stop making bad arguments

     @sun Yeah but he's a joke. I'm wondering if he had an actual career before edgelord atheism.

     @toiletpaper @sun Secular Buddhism and Secular Yoga were already a thing and they agree with Sam Harris on everything. They just want to promote blissful nihilism.

     @toiletpaper @sun Meditation gutted of genuine transcendence is worse than nothing at all. It's just stress relief, which is not what it's supposed to be for.

     The main benefit is that it made new atheists less rabid towards people with a healthy spiritual practice.

     @J @toiletpaper never seen him actually leverage his neuroscientist creds, like to say something. He probably has but I've never seen it.

     @toiletpaper @sun It turns out Sam Harris is also a neuroscientist though.
     
     Idk what that means or if he's done actual experiments, either way it isn't a philosophical qualification.

     @sun @toiletpaper I love atheistic free will deniers bc if you pin them down they have no working definition for what a will is.
     
     A will is a metaphysical category, by saying it's predetermined, they've already refuted the materialism that they based their dogma on.
