Sam Harris discusses his problems with Bret Weinstein (it's Alex Marinos!)
Post Body

The Triggernometry Q and A has been released, and Sam Harris talks about why he won't talk with Bret Weinstein any more. Of course, he has already used the aeroplane analogy on his own podcast, but now he also points out that BW locked arms with some guy who clipped out Harris saying he wished there had been more dead babies. Francis Foster tries to guess who it was "was it Jack Posobiec?" Konstantin Kisin tries to put a lid on it, "no let's not give them attention" or something like that. But Harris says "It was something like Marinos." who he goes on to call a "psychopath" and a "jackass", and to Eric, "he's buddies with a complete lunatic".

Eric then says he also has problems with "this person", before trying to stand up for Bret by suggesting he was merely asking questions and making some "uncontroversial remarks" about how vaccines change the adaptive landscape had his reputation destroyed by the full force of the government who put out advisories that reminded people they weren't horses, etc...

Of course, we know that Bret went way beyond making some simple observations about vaccines, and we know that Bret became increasingly anti-vaxx, not only for mRNA vaccines, but all Covid vaccines, and recently ALL vaccines, as well as advocating a massive roll-out of prophylactic ivermectin (despite being ineffective against Covid).

LOL! at Eric telling his brother to stop his wife from going after Sam Harris for "Trump derangement syndrome") and then Eric tells Sam that not having a discussion with Bret is like Cher sullying many people's wedding song, I Got You Babe, to stick it to Sonny Bono by singing with Beavis and Butthead (!?interrobang!?) You probably remember all the weddings you've been to where the first dance is to the sound of Bret announcing, "That we can even contemplate this is stunning!", right?

Will Sam and Bret get back together? Eric ominously floats the idea of "the attack poodle going away". Uh-oh, Marinos, look out! If you see some Michael Myers-esque figure pursuing you on a dark night, you may have to do some judo chops!

I think this is cued up at around 25 minutes when this begins with Sam Harris wondering aloud who the people he has decided not to talk to are...
