Скачать или смотреть Rav Arora DISMANTLES 'Watering Bad Ideas' Argument Using Sam Harris Example

I dismantled the "watering bad ideas" argument using Sam Harris's own example

Douglas Murray's accusation: "You're watering this fertile ground. You're conspicuously engaged in trying to grow an extremely poisonous tree, and it's going to get you and all of us"

My counter-example: "This is why Sam Harris has been a big part of my intellectual development. When he had Charles Murray on, Ezra Klein attacked him for doing that podcast"

The parallel argument Ezra Klein made: "You doing this podcast encourages racism. It encourages people to think that people of certain skin color have lower IQ" "You're watering this fertile ground of racism and you're being incredibly irresponsible"

My key point: "That's not how you argue, right? That's not how you talk"
The pattern I identified: "Yes, there's been a rise in anti-Semitism, conspiracy thinking, blaming Jews for everything"

"Yes, if I report on mRNA vaccine dangers, some people say 'that's genocide, vaccines cause autism'" "But that's not how you argue"
The devastating conclusion: Sam Harris would tear apart the exact same argument that Douglas Murray is now using

When your ally's logic gets used against you, suddenly it's a problem
