          Because I’m perfectly aware of what he actually thinks about these issues and you’re not fairly representing those views. I’m not going to defend views he doesn’t hold.

              Telling someone they’re wrong is much less convincing than demonstrating it by laying out the evidence.

              It’s pretty clear you just don’t like the guy based on what you’ve heard someone say about him and are now just having an emotional reaction to someone bringing it up. If you actually had a point you would’ve already made it.

              This criticism is like the anti-Sam Harris 101 entry level talking points. I’ve heard it countered hundreds of times before. I’m surprised you didn’t also mention the Bell Curve and racism.

                Look into any of his statements where he argues Israel has a right to defend itself, that Palestinians are genocidal, that colonialism isn’t a thing on and on and yes I also think iq is nonsense.

                  You just keep making noise, how about trying to make a coherent argument instead? Steelman a position of his that you disagree with and then tell me what exactly you disagree with about it.

                  This incoherent, ambiguous hand-waving isn’t going to achieve anything. You chose to speak up - then speak up.
