When taken as whole, Sam Harris has done much more harm to the world than good. But he has gotten wealthy. Best thought of as a self-righteous and hypocritical moral vacuum with an exaggerated, irrational and all-consuming hatred of Arabs, Palestinians, and Islam - especially those individuals...Read full review »

Sam’s perspective is the voice of reason making sense!

Sam brings logic and perspective to a world gone completely mad. ❤️

I never voted for Trump, but Sam’s insensate fixation and angst against him is so overboard it clearly demonstrates the Trump Derangement Syndrome is alive and well in Sam’s intellect. I never thought Sam’s intellectual composure would be so weakened by Trump. It’s humorous to witness but I’ve...Read full review »

I've bought Harris' books and used to support him as a patron on his website. His intellect and eloquence connected with me. It is sad and alarming to see how obviously wrong he is about the atrocities in Gaza. Perhaps his anti-religion rhetoric was a harbinger all along, or maybe he...Read full review »

Sam’s atheism is nothing more than a shield to hide behind his prejudice. An outright embarrassment with nothing to offer atheism or free society. Claims to want to end suffering yet sides with capitalists and transphobes. Nice to see the mask is fully off. Thanks for wasting everyone’s time.

Sam Harris is a great listen and deep thinker on many topics, but his obsession with Islam and jihadism, which he continually conflates, detracts from way too many of his other very informed and interesting opinions.

9/10 of what I hear on other podcasts is obvious; this is not. I don’t listen as much because the full versions are expensive and 2/3rds of the episodes aren’t of interest. I also think he gets a bit deranged about Trump (who I think is a jerk) and far too woo in some areas like the nature of...Read full review »

While normally this podcast is a source of insight, your assessment of Israel's annihilation of the aid workers was premature at least. If not an assassination, it reads more of a society who has forgotten anything except retaliation. It's like an abused child growing up to become an...Read full review »

Think you Sam and for your thoughtful and analytical podcast. I will subscribe.
JZhukovsky via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/14/24
Harris has lost the script and is now making sweeping statements about important current events which are devoid of any historical context and/or outright false. It’s hard to take him seriously as an arbiter of logic and reason when he lacks such qualities in his commentary on current events.
RapaciousRapscallion via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/12/24
I’ve enjoyed this podcast for many years but find Sam’s support for Israel’s current actions in Palestine chilling. Just how many dead Muslims would he consider too many ? Given that Israel’s actions are likely to create more jihadists where exactly would Sam draw the line?
welshdexter via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 04/11/24
The speaker is clearly an apologist for israeli apartheid regime. Spewing anti-Palestine hatred along with rabid hatred of islam in general. It’s quite amazing how could an atheist support a religious ethinonationalist society?! Could be a tribal thing !!

Love the podcast.. so honest, so balanced… but don’t put Josh Szeps on again please.
Sad in Oz via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 04/10/24
I’ve had conflicting thoughts when listening to episodes on the topic of the war between Israel and Hamas. While it is important to understand history, to gain perspective on jihadism, to call out antisemitism, at the end of the day, people are being annihilated. This is not a case of unfortunate...Read full review »

The misinformation paired with the racist views of the host are disgusting. He completely and utterly lacks any humanity. In addition to the fact he fails to go through the effort to research history and only focuses on post Oct 7th and nothing prior.
Cristinas Itunes via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/10/24
I have always defended the rationality of Sam Harris. He has been a magnificent and lucid critic of religion. I feel like he has lost his north. He is not seeing the obvious genocide Israel is doing. He is blinded by tribal perceptions. I understand, he is a Jew; but Israel is literally...Read full review »

Thank you, Sam, for excoriating moral clarity in a time of willful ignorance, extreme naïveté and sheer malice. Don’t always agree with Sam but appreciate the mental tonic of discussions that wrestle hard with ideas and themes swallowed too often by too many on unquestioned premises and...Read full review »
Heartandbile via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/09/24
The “accidental killing of aid workers”?! This is insanity. “War” is fighting between two states, which is not what is currently happening in Gaza. This is lunacy, maybe stop touching this topic if you can’t be unbiased. Your critical thinking and so called journalism on this subject is seriously...Read full review »

This was very painful to listen to. Two intelligent, successful men making excuses for the actions of SBF for 90 minutes is just intolerable. So tone deaf and really sad. I’ve been a listener to Sam (Harris) for many years and I’ve disagreed with him on many things throughout those years, but...Read full review »

Some great guests- why not let them talk? Invariably we have to listen to the musings of the interviewer rambling around when what we want is to hear what the guest has to say,

I Sam Harris is an honest broker, someone that back up their ideas for factsAnd good faith argument, and for those reasonsHe shines like a beacon of truth on an ocean, awash with the detritus of humanity.
imodan via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 03/27/24
I certainly am no Trump fan and wish the Republicans would have chosen differently, but Harris is absolutely unhinged about Trump and is not introspective whatsoever as he thinks he has it all figured out. What a damaged man.
Textdgh via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/19/24
Episodes cut off half way through, then direct you to the website to pay $100 a year to hear the rest. This wasn’t stated anywhere until I was an hour into an episode. This feels really dishonest. If it was said up front, and there was a way to buy a single episode for a few dollars to try it...Read full review »

Paints Palestinians as Jihadis. Uses false claims such as using their own children as human shields. Speaks of Muslim culture as being un-civilized. Liars of racist talking points. It astounds me that blokes like this can attain accreditation from universities. Just a bit thick basically. Good...Read full review »

I only came here to listen to this man embarras himself all over again by inviting Rory Stewart back and, boy, did it deliver! You’re an intellectual lightweight, Sam. It’s ok. Many people are.
dbsbsvdb via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/09/24
That was a wonderful episode. I hope he comes on again. Thank you.
sdkitergirl via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/06/24
I wonder why Harris doesn’t feature Zionism as a major threat to Liberty and democracy? He seems to be a committed Zionist so can’t critically analyse the threat that an apartheid system has on liberal values. He has this tattered drum that he keeps beating on about Islam being a threat to the...Read full review »

Two stars as earlier this used to be good.. but now, just bigotry and opinionated views.. Either a lot of monologue or badgering guests with his ideas.. worst now if getting a guest back to apologize to Sam.
DrSuave via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/01/24
I used to love this podcast. Until it went to Mr.Harris’s head and he started thinking he can take on politics and international events. It was sad to hear the nakedness of his biases to say the least. All that contemplation and to end up here?
ergeneman via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/01/24
I was a fan and I knew that Sam has strong opinions on Islam. However now he has an anti-Islam episode every other day and it’s just unbearable.
PabloViquez via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/01/24
I admire Rory for agreeing to set the record straight after his misrepresentation of his earlier conversation with Sam. However he does little to explain why he said what he did on his own podcast and remains hypocritical and disingenuous. Shame, as a Brit, living in the UK I was a fan of his but...Read full review »

I subscribed and listened to several episodes. The more I listen, the more I realize that what appears to be intelligent conversation is actually masking Sam’s very sloppy thinking.

First off want to emphasize how much I value and enjoy all of Sam’s work, guests and enlightenment. My comment is regarding a content element Peter Zeighan delivers highlighting the growing isolationism of the US and the fact that trade and exports are a relatively minor factor economically for...Read full review »

Was a fan until the episode with Zeihan despite being a big fan of Peter’s work. Demonizing the right while completely failing to acknowledge the oversights, missteps, and failures of the left/current administration is idiotic and only furthers divisive thinking. The Left wants to destroy the...Read full review »

Sound arguments. Especially on the myriad implications of suicide bombing.
Impoxtssibxo via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 02/19/24
Not only would John Gray’s philosophy create totalitarianism, his conversational style is totalitarian in that he never lets Harris speak. His superficial argument against Popper’s piecemeal social engineering is another case in point.

Sam now manages to weave his problematic views on Israel Hamas war into almost every episode
Everynicknameistaken578 via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 02/17/24
Ironically, Harris’s own position resembles religious fanaticism in its willful incuriosity. For Harris, the fact that some self-described jihadists have committed atrocities for purely metaphysical reasons means that no self-described jihadist could possibly be motivated primarily by political...Read full review »

Right wing mascot Coleman Hughes? Really Sam? I understand you are mad about the antisemitic views on the far left. We all are. Are the recent right wing tuned episode a result of that? Come to your senses man. You need some meditation. I know an app

Do not discuss politics, you are super biased and it’s annoying.
Anfkiran31 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/14/24
MrSam seems very upset that people may think he’s islamophobic. Spent half his time ranting about that. Not holding it together?
PCM321 via Apple Podcasts · Norway · 02/13/24
I began listening to this pod about 6 months ago, and appreciated most episodes even if I didn’t entirely agree. But Harris’s recent episode about the Israeli genocide of Palestinians crossed a line and lost absolutely all credibility & this listener. I am actively discouraging folks from...Read full review »

How insane it is to insinuate that Islamists want peace? When they follow the Quran literally they are violently favoring death to all non-Muslims. The Quran is based on lies. Thank goodness for kind hearted family oriented Muslims who do not follow the Quran. Check out CIRA Int’l on YouTube....Read full review »
