Absolutely based

This nigga acting like he discovered biological determinism when western philosophy was build on fatalism.

>fails to define an objective measure or even definition of "suckiness"
>whole argument boils down to "just make things better lmao"
is this really one of the top minds in philosophy right now brehs? if so we're FUCKED
Daniel Richardson
Yes.
Blake Moore
I would pay to see you debate him
Isaiah Walker
Harris demands 10000 before debate fees just for hotels and travelling
Ryder Turner
HAHAHAHA WHAT is this a fucking fabrication???? I've never read Harris but god fucking damn he is retarded if this is real
Adrian Jenkins
Truly brainlet tier
Grayson Martinez
I would say midwit at best
Evan Sullivan
he is actually pretty smart, he even beat peterson once
Noah Harris
Aristotle couldn't even count teeth accurately, so there has been some progress.
Caleb Rodriguez
this can't be real
Charles Ross
Easton Foster
He's not a philosopher.
Lincoln Young
He identifies as a "philosopher of mind"
t. listened to a recent Very Bad Wizards podcast with him.
Isaiah Gray
dont meme peterson, hes too pure for this world
Jonathan Thomas
Saying he beat Peterson doesn't lend much to harris' credibility
Elijah Harris
Not. What he uses circular logic. Doing good is good because it's prosperous for humankind. Why is this good? Because then we can do more good. Again why is that good? Why isn't maximum prosperity of vegetables the ultimate good?
He derives 'ought' from 'is', just like any other atheist arguing for objective morality.
Why don't atheists admit that there are no objective moral truths? You don't need morals to not be an asshole. Realising that there were no morals all along won't spawn unstoppable urge to lie, steal, kill & rape within anyone. Those who already commit those acts don't let silly things like morals stand in their way anyway.

*rephrases thousands of years of moral philosophy*
Brody Ward
Define "sucks." There, killed your premise, if there was any...
If there was an objective definition for what "sucks" for everyone, we wouldn't have nearly 4000+ years of philosophical debate.
And now we have to talk about what is "objective" and even that can take years, if it is even possible to find a solution.
This guy's a hack.
Cameron Myers
Peterson is extremely hacky. He is ill equipped to enter any even moderately complex philosophical discussion. Remember when he prepared for the Zizek debate by simply reading the Communist Manifesto and not even touching Capital? Good thing Zizek did what he always does and used the debate as an opportunity to talk about some random shit that he was interested in instead.
John Wilson
Making our corner of the universe suck less is not more or less preferable from making our corner of the universe suck even more. Suffering or not suffering, neither holds any meaning. It just is.
Christian Gutierrez

His philosophical work got referenced on SEP. That makes him not just a philosopher but more like a top 1% living philosopher in terms of impact.
Isaiah Brown
Okay, now find the book which is the topic of this thread, The Moral Landscape. You won't because it's not original.
Hunter Miller
good job moving the goalpost retard. Harris is a legitimate philosopher
Cameron Wilson
I'm not moving the goalpost. That was always the goalpost. We're talking about Sam Harris's moral framework, not his take on free will.
Sebastian Cooper
Get off my board
Isaiah Thomas
I think it can. Humanity used to be far more violent. If you truly apply skepticism
Justin Barnes
Sorry. If you truly apply skepticism to its full extent, you probably end up becoming a hedonist, and then realizing Genghis Khan is the supreme ideal to live up to
