SAM HARRIS QUOTES THAT MAKE SENSE:
“I didn't see a benefit to my staying there. It's just the wrong space in which to try to have a conversation….”

“They don't really care what their enemy has said or meant to say. What they want to do is they want to hold them to the worst possible interpretation of what they said and make that stick.”

“You should be able to be as wrong as you want to be, but we don't have to algorithmically boost those errors.”

We should be very wary of being driven by tribalism.”

“There's almost nothing you can say about Trump that is true and awful that his supporters care about.”

“We're going to recognize that the Internet is completely broken and we just don't know what's real.”
