I listened to that last night. There were some good points made by both. As is so often the case with these issues, it comes down to whether it's more important how people react to a fact vs whether it's true. Like Harris, I believe discerning if something is true and what to do about that knowledge are two entirely different things.
But man, does Sam Harris have a persecution complex. I'd listen to his podcast more if the 2 hour run time didn't always include 40 minutes of Harris explaining the various social media feuds he's involved in and how he's so unfairly maligned by this blogger or that columnist. More often than not I agree with his take on things, but there's something really off-putting about a free speech advocate who obsesses over his critics. Dude needs to grow a thicker skin.
