At the end of our discussion, Harris abruptly cut things short after we debated the meaning of slavery in the Bible and Talmud. Was this an honest philosophical disagreement, or an example of intellectual overstatement and rhetorical sleight-of-hand? Sam Harris is widely regarded as a leading public intellectual, yet during our 3.5-hour dialogue, I encountered a curious blind spot he consistently sidesteps. We cover: Sam Harris fleeing the 2025 LA Fires with a 'jar of MDMA and a gun" (02:00) Harris’s controversial claim that slavery disproves a benevolent God (09:12) The Hebrew word *“eved”* and its deeper meaning (09:30–11:51) Why Biblical servitude is not the same as American chattel slavery Sam’s dismissal of centuries of rabbinic scholarship (15:39–16:17) His argument about the optic blind spot as a “design flaw” (12:59–14:36) The role of psychedelics in Harris’s worldview (18:45–20:43) How confidence without expertise can turn into intellectual bad faith This isn’t about attacking Sam Harris — it’s about testing the limits of rationalism, confronting blind spots, and asking whether even the most brilliant thinkers can fall into ideological echo chambers.
