It still pains me how much I revered those shitbags when I was younger. Harris could never explain anything without resorting to an analogy and Dawkins is just so stupid.

I am a bit older, so a bit more mature during my run in with new atheism. I can credit myself with seeing through sam Harris’ bullshit as a fucking dweeb, but I revered hitches. Dawkins seemed like a lightweight to me; but a net positive….

Blah

I have to agree with Michael Brooks that Hitchens may have been a scumbag, but he was way smarter than someone like Sam Harris, who is a complete dunce in comparison. I think Dawkins has actually written some fairly important stuff before he got too much boomer brain, but it’s been years since I read him.

Harris getting dunked on by Chomsky was the genesis of my de-lib’ing

him publishing that email exchange was one of the dumbest things he did and basically lifted out from under his spell. Along with the Charles Murray shit and also having no idea how stats work.

Who would have thought that someone who would pervert the concept of rational thinking and enlightenment into being a tool to feel smug and superior over the rest of the brainwashed serfs would go on to become a bigoted manchild?
