#381 — Delusions, Right and Left

Sam Harris speaks with “Destiny” (Steven Bonnell) about politics
and public debate. They discuss how he approaches debate, “Trump
derangement syndrome,” January 6th, why Trump’s norm violations
don’t matter to many people, misadventures on the information
landscape, social media and the problem of being too online,
Islam and conflict in the Middle East, the difference between the
far left and the far right, the lack of sane conservative
policies to counterbalance the left, whether the pendulum is
swinging back on the left, the ethics and politics of apology,
private friendships and public disagreements, and other topics.
