The Jimmy Dore Show Reports: For a legendarily smart guy, Sam Harris says some remarkably dumb things. Most recently the famed neuroscientist and censorship aficionado speculated about how much easier it would have been to discredit COVID skeptics if only they had been wrong about vaccines, mandates, lockdowns and the rest of it.
But darn the luck that Harris and his ilk had to come across looking like they were wrong just because they happened to be, well, wrong. It’s just not fair!

He's (Sam Harris) is part of the "Intellectual Dark Web" along with guys like Brett Weinstein and Jordan Peterson. Basically, people who have some academic credentials who objected to the trend of suppressing open debate and so they start having debates with each other, despite their political differences. Except lately Sam Harris has been doing some very dumb stuff like he endorsed Twitter censoring Trump in an interview and basically admitted he is okay with it just because he doesn't like Trump, not for any principled reason he can defend. Which kind of goes against the whole idea that these "Intellectual Dark Web" guys gathered around. Sam Harris has essentially sunk his own brand over the past year.
