The problem with Bret's epistemology is that he references institutional capture as a blank check to float whatever far fetched claim he wants to make. Ivermectin can't achieve statistical significance in the gold standard of tests? "They" must have put their fingers on the scale to repress all effective cheap off label drugs for the sake of big pharma's profits. SSRIs were able to disprove that theory, as logic would dictate their studies would get manipulated as well. But they didn't, they performed well.

@@JohnKerbaugh oh, I originally wrote out a whole rant about that particular analogy because it’s incoherent. A more apt analogy would be that the plane was at 30,000 feet and the pilot came on and told them there was engine failure, they were going to lose cabin pressure and so everyone had to put on their oxygen masks which immediately began to pump out a strange smelling gas, but Sam was willing to obey because the pilot, the expert on the plane and it’s emergency procedures, had told him to do so. Meanwhile, Bret is sitting beside him, and has struck up a conversation with an engineer who worked on the design of that plane, has learned that there doesn’t seem to be anything wrong with the plane at all, smells the funny gas and refuses to put the mask on and comes to the correct conclusion that the pilot is a deranged lunatic and a very different emergency is unfolding than the one Sam is now freaking out about and has begun to snipe at Bret to stop blathering on about the engine and this random engineer who could be a total quack and just put the mask on ….. it just makes me immensely aggravated that he (Sam) cannot see that his entire premise is wrong from the start. He’s begun by ignoring all the red flags simply because, in his estimation, in a time of crisis you do not question the “experts”, you wait until after the crisis is over. But what do you do when the experts ARE the crisis? It just boggles the mind.

It was extremely dangerous, and has had catastrophic consequences, to turn over our rights to interested parties out of irrational fear. The lies we were told, ALL of which cleaved in favor of BigPharma, seem to have made little impression on Sam’s mind. It is clearly inconvenient to him that Bret was/is correct. The central point is, and why his airliner analogy fails, the plane was not going down. It was the reaction to the fear that it was, that caused the aerodynamic stall.

Only that there defiantly was a Problem with the plane just no one knew if it was going down. Not the Pilots, not the Flight-Crew and most certainly not the passengers. So who do you trust ? The Pilots, or the dudes in row 6. In our case the pilots turned out to be drunk, narcissists who did barrel rolls to land the damn plane when you could've safely land it with some good and measured actions like turning one engine off (like the dudes in row 6 suggested) So the main question is: Who do you trust next time? Sam argues that you should put your energy into making sure that you have trustworthy Pilots and I think he's got a valid point here. Because what's the alternative? Just automatically listening to the anti-mainstream or some mob on X doesn't seem to be be a good strategy. But it's super important to finally have this discussion. It exceeds the pandemic.

@@SeppelMadGuitar It all depends on the crew, their experience and their motivation. An airplane in distress can often be landed safely. Poor pilotage may overcorrect and induce a catastrophic stall (happens all the time). I do not assume that those in charge always make the best decisions. The analogy is flawed in that it does not account for so may complicating factors that caused the reactionary conflagration that was so polluted by politics and corporate interest and ducking blame. So while I might trust a young pilot more than an accountant or lawyer with flying the plane, an aeronautical engineer and a retired Thunderbirds pilot sitting in the back might well have something very useful to contribute.

As a brother of a genius, I really liked how Eric sat there calm and stoic while Sam proceeded to harangue his brother Bret. I discovered Bret during the Evergreen college fiasco, before I even knew about Eric and the whole intellectual dark web thing. Sam has a lot of nerve suggesting Bret is crazy, or that he went down a rabbit hole. Eric and Bret are two of the most intelligent siblings out there today. From everything I've seen, Bret is a man with extreme integrity. Sam Harris has neither intellect nor integrity.

I really wanna see Sam redeem himself, but I get a sense that he's gotten his self and his ideas too wrapped together, and can't examine them in his self-defense mode, not too differently then how Eric described Bret (although Sam gets the safe ground of siding with the Fed, Health Bureaucracy and Medical Corporate Elite.) You can hear it in his analogies, like about discussing scary topics while we're all "on an airplane", which betrays an inbuilt hysteria, that challenging the Covid Narrative could lead to EVERYONE dying, like everyone on a plane would if it crashed. Sam does this catastrophist move regularly, and nobody straight calls him on it. Literally, from his first declaration of fear about a Trump Presidency (in summer 2016, I think) where he said "Imagine a clown with his finger on the nuclear button" to this Airplane analogy, there's something incredibly fearful in Sam. I don't know, but he seems distrustful of common people, almost hysterically so, like we're all ready to turn into the Reavers from Firefly at the snap of a finger. I suspect an unexamined arrogance that too often goes with higher intelligence. It just seems that way, artogance and fear, married somehow, deeply in his mind sonewhere.

Sam can't redeem himself in a full manner until he acknowledges his own belief system, that which informs his views and opinions is significantly more flawed than the belief system of those he's criticized, not to mention the own massive and near delusional level flaws derived from his world view. Meaning, he's gotta eat crow pie - and a big amount of it. And he can't seem to even connect the dots in the opposing belief systems and perspectives that are in disagreement with them, he can only minimize and mock them or at best pay lip service (i.e: he dismissed religion as believing in Santa Clause). He can't see himself at fault but he's willing to apologize. He needs to learn WHY he should be apologizing first, then he can find redemption.

Well explained. Sam isn't quite the free thinker he sees himself as. He has an inbuilt bias to defer to institutions in an unquestioning manner especially during a moment of "crisis". Prior to the pandemic this attitude was manifested in his positions on foreign policy (hence his disagreements with Glenn Greenwald); but we saw the same during the pandemic. I think you're right that fear and arrogance are at the root of it, as they are with many "centrist" liberals.

@@chadnine3432 that's the thing. The official narrative had many obvious holes in it right from the start and we were getting some important data about who the risk groups were and experts admitted how the death statistics were getting inflated. It was admitted early on that masks don't work, that healthy kids aren't affected and that lockdowns are harmful to children and the economy. Also, everyone with any sense should understand that vaccine designed specifically for one variant isn't probably going to be very effective against subsequent variants. Or that there are two likely ways for the virus to evolve ...either it becomes more deadly and it kills the host too quickly to spread aggressively or it becomes less deadly and more infectious, in which case we all get infected and our bodies will learn to deal with it. Sam is pretending like it was a random accident that he got it wrong and others got it right. No, people were making decisions based on data and rational arguments. If the data showed that it truly was the next plague then people would've reacted differently. Countless people saw the real situation and the reason why he didn't is that he closed his eyes and ears and refused to listen anything that went against the mainstream narrative. And clearly he hasn't learned where his error was, so he'll do it again next time.

I have huge respect for sam outside of some downsides. unlike him I can see glaring and hideous flaws in a person and still see value in their good parts. outside of trump and covid he is generally a very based an extraordinarily well spoken and very thoughtful on a variety of issues. whats more he is not some kind of fake intellectual who simply weaves together 25 letter words in sequence to feel smart he communicates in general complex ideas and separates them with simple to understand language. doesnt always work some of his analogies in this podcast were dogshit but I am still a huge fan of his despite glaring problems. i feel in general it really annoys me ppl only like someone if they are lock step 100% in line with everything and if you have 1 bad take you instantly the enemy and must be completely thrown out of the community. it is vastly more so on the left but every community in our modern social landscape does this. I would think Sam is man enough to not fall victim to this but unfortunately he is. i personally found it extremely rude to go so hard on this guys brother in front of him he could have just said he dissagreed not go ham ape shit on him repeatedly in front of his family, that was completely the fuck uncalled for.

The pilot orders all the passengers gagged and belted into their seats, so as not to foment a panic. If the goal is to level the airplane, was the pilots demand reasonable?

@@dlancer2k We weren't on a sinking boat. It's really easy to make bad analogies, to the point where "false analogy" is one of the most common logical fallacies. Analogies work because you're comparing A with B and using situation A to relate with situation B to make some kind of point to your audience. The problem is that this only works well if the two things are actually similar. So to poke holes in a bad analogy you just have to notice and point out all the ways in which the two things are different. A virus with a 99.8% survival rate does not equal "a sinking ship" or "a plane about to crash". These types of bad analogies are catastrophizing the situation, pretending as if it was going to be the end of the world if X, Y and Z didn't happen. That just isn't the case.

It eventually got stale, cause they kept repeatedly bitching to each other about how the left doesn't want to discuss ideas but they themselves never got around to taking the next step of ACTUALLY discussing the ideas they were hinting at. The IDW was doomed to fail if they were going to refuse to advance, and some time has passed, and I think if the group came back together, they could do some good if they picked up where they left off, but had some balls about it this time. instead of just saying "You'll be called racist if you say CERTAIN FACTS" actually specify those certain facts however much is productive

Sam's analogy of the plane is fine if the premise is that the pilot wanted to land the plane at all.

32:15 Sam has said this repeatedly: "We needed a CDC that we could trust; We needed an FDA that we could trust; we needed to trust the government messaging with respect to what was actually happening in the world ... and the layer of conversation that we're having about this in the aftermath is so amplifying of mistrust and misinformation and disinformation..." But we didn't have those institutions that were trustworthy, and the greatest purveyor of misinformation is the US government, followed closely by the FDA, CDC and the corporate media. Very early in 2020, Brett Weinstein was one of the first people to suggest that SARS-CoV-2 might not have had a natural origin, a hypothesis immediately squelched by Anthony Fauci and Francis Collins, as well as the Director General of the WHO, who praised the government of China for their transparency. Questioning the wet market bat/pangalin/raccoon dog theory was shamefully racist, and the corporate media peddled that lie, too. FOUR YEARS into COVID and now we have a CDC and FDA who recommend that everyone over the age of 6 months should get the COVID shot, while in Great Britain it's recommended for those over 65 years old. Maybe pointing out a 64.5 year difference is quibbling, but it seems like something that might raise questions (as though there haven't already been plenty of reasonable ones about it). But to Sam, "just asking questions" has become a phrase used to ridicule those who are earnestly asking them because straight answers aren't given. He talks about this as though it's the new forms of media (e.g., podcasters like Rogan and Weinstein) who have a responsibility to shore up the very institutions that have lost their credibility as a result of their own mismanagement of the COVID pandemic and lies about countless other issues.

I think Sam's plane analogy doesn't land (puns!) with me. When the vaccine came out, it was more like I was asked to board a brand new plane. After listening to some people mime that it's safe and effective while trying to push me towards the plane, and others give detailed discussions on why maybe it isn't as safe and effective as it's claimed, i decided to board an older plane model. And now, after I've listened to loads of research suggesting plane defects on the new plane while the institutions are still recommending parents take their whole families on board, I've lost all trust in those institutions. And yes, the older plane model still has risks. But i had every reason, based on all of the statistics, to believe I would be OK. Not a guarantee, but nothing ever is.

I am not a very religious person. However, I am becoming very irritated with the simplistic, morally charged, ignorance-fueled way certain thinkers describe «religion». Very complex, multifaceted sociocultural structures have been theorized and analyzed for ages, and none of those deep, varied, multiple theories can pretend to a full understanding of religion, myth and ritual. I am not saying there is no critique to build, there, but people like Sam Harris seem very, very confident in their ability to dominate the subject from the summit of their own intellectual power. What is more, as far as I am concerned, most of the XXth century mass atrocities did a pretty good job without any traditionaly religious drive, and our modern societies seem to really struggle in areas where religious societies do not. So it seems to me that, at the very least, some nuance, introspection and intellectual humility could help.

uhm i think you should do some more studying on these "XXth century mass atrocities", the history of the rise of the referred evil player Fascism can't be seperated from religion. Mussolini was only able to creat a fascist state with the support of the Roman Catholic church at the time referred to as clero-fascism. Even though it's very clear what he actually thought of religion and it's believes and had no problem being violent to them at other times, he still installed it as a state religion, gave the Pope back power over the Vatican and even behaved like he actually converted baptizing his children because he very much understood the power of it as a tool of control and how it been used through history. Just like Hitler he very much praised it as system while not believing what it claims. Hitler also used Religion and Germanic myths to create a Nazi Identity to unite the population, but also used Protestant and Catholic youth organisations to influence the youth political, the German protestant ideas were actuallty very similar to Nazi ones so opposite to in Italy Hitler diddn't need to work with the church to gain their support. Also people seem to forget that the 20th C was referred to as the Christian's one because the religion became bigger and was spread more than ever before, and was not only used as a tool and justification for colonialism and it's atrocities it made it be the good and rightious thing to do. I'm also very curious to the religious societies that should be an example to many European countries because the U.S. mostly is one allready

Brett W is the top of that list, and for Pete's sake, Eric W is 6 feet away (Oh, come on, Sam). You don't get to do that, and then minutes later, impugn the ethics of Brett or Glenn Greenwald. And people who shared the clip of him saying that "if the virus targeted children instead of the elderly, or if the vaccine was actually more effective, the whole scenario would be quite different..." didn't necessarily try to make the point that Sam wants dead children. Maybe it just made the point that Sam made a fantastical argument. "If the facts were completely different, I would have been right..." 24:48
