  1. The abuse of our two brain hemispheres:
    1. Memorization. To force and occupy the left-brain with burned-in words. To become mantras when under duress, to disconnect from the screaming voices to stop. Mesmerized prisoners – without blasphemous thoughts on pain of death.
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3n-tnArmoUo

    2. The atrophy of the right-brain to not develop – through the denial of creativity, art and music. Unable to empathise, imagine or dream; objectifying and holding contempt for those with screaming voices to stop. The kid that can only draw squiggles within squiggles.

    The only escape route for such children enslaved in Islam, is to be the biggest meanest believer of Allah. Total Submission until it becomes worn as normal. And for those seeking their freedom through this repression – it will inevitably lead them to hold the sword of terror. The victim is no the violator. (And of course, the One True Allah will deign them with the unconditional approval that they sought for all their lives and provide them with 72 awaiting virgins to compensate them for not being the kind of men sane women can relate to. Muhammad was way ahead in this game). Left Brains controlled by the fear of bare naked aggression for their explicitly known fates.

    But what then of Western Socialists? What of their own mind-stunting? Well, the opposite had been imprinted.

    1. Memorization? No, the left-brain undergoes a simple weakening process through multiple-choice pick-lists within the narrow boundaries of thoughts set by the State. Not the one-track mind of Islam, but the indeterminate mind, that if the State said “serve your teachers” one year and “kill your teachers” the next, they would not bat an eyelid. It atrophies; no longer alpha to omega but switching from alpha to beta.

    2. Moral-Equivalence. Drummed-in emotional feelings and pornographic images into the right-brain, lust/rage/resentment/pride, so catered for that they now believe trigger-warnings are normal and a part of civilized society. To believe that offence is the most horrible thing that can be felt by anyone. Step out of line and up pops the pain of empathy before the other person even had to feel it – the ankle bracelets of house arrest.

    The only escape route for such children raised under Communism, is to be the biggest meanest believer of Collectivism. Total compliance until it becomes worn as normal. . And for those seeking their freedom from this suppression of character – it will inevitably lead them to inflict Politically Correct terror. (And of course the One True Mother will deign them with the unconditional approval from disapproving women they sought for all their lives. Stalin and Mao were way ahead in this game). Right Brains controlled by fear of the passive-aggression of their unknown fates at the whims of Judges and Politicians.

    So with this preliminary foundation on the fundamental workings of terror-hypnosis on the human animal, I can address what I think is the intellectual blindness of Sam Harris whenever he proudly asserts Homosexuality as a noble counterpoint to Islam, as a healthy, monogamous child-friendly lifestyle spoken of in a passive-aggressive voice:

    Islam is the Mother-Load of Bad Ideas, and Socialism is a Father-Load of Bad Ideas.

    • Socialism’s picklist on Islam:
      1. Islam is the Religion of Peace
      2. Muhammad was a great Prophet
      (Though there is no peace in Islam and Muhammed prophesized nothing).

      The right-brain – if free to be able to offend – can spot the lie instantly. Well done Sam Harris you can spot a left-brain phoney a mile off.

      And again:
      1. Homosexual love is the same as heterosexual
      2. Marriage is one and the same sanctuary to bring up well-adjusted children.

      Ooh, this needs a left brain, to discern love into different shades from personal lust to universal agape love.

      Complete failure. Rejecting Judaism with the bathwater. Right-brains cannot spot right-brain copycat phonies just as left-brains cannot identify their own facsimile fakes.

    • Perfect,
      You might enjoy this reflection on the ‘Mind of the President’. There’s a notion, it seems, of right-brain/ left-brain as you describe it:

      The word “rationalist” is a little confusing. In fact, there are two kinds of rationalists. One kind believes in a dynamic intellectual process of generating ideas, testing them against reality, leading to better understanding. We can call this rationalism, or the scientific method, or just being a smart person. And then there is the other kind: People who believe that the world’s problems will be solved when everyone stops fighting and starts talking, because the answers are obvious once your mind is freed of irrational things like tribe, religion, or the past. The former type has an acute appreciation for the limits of his knowledge and, accordingly, surrounds himself with people who bring a wealth of experience into a constructive conversation, and consider angles and implications, laying the groundwork for a good decision. The latter type, however, despises such discussion, viewing it as an unnecessary, even bureaucratic, constraint on his power. His instinct is to resist the whole process. The answers are obvious, and anyone who pushes back is not just wrong but worthy of ridicule: Ignorant, a “know-nothing” (Rhodes), an advocate for (in Obama’s words) “doing stupid shit.”
      This is not very scientific, of course. It is much more like faith—faith in reason, and in its glorified human intermediaries, who provide answers so true as to obviate the process of truth-seeking. The hard work, rather, is in the presentation, the eloquent language, the spin. In finding the right words that’ll help people see it.

      ….
      Maybe leftists in general. This POTUS? Reads lines others write. There’s nothing there.

      • “In fact, there are two kinds of rationalists.”
        “…dynamic intellectual process of generating ideas, testing them against reality, leading to better understanding.”

        “People who believe that the world’s problems will be solved when everyone stops fighting and starts talking, because the answers are obvious once your mind is freed of irrational things like tribe, religion, or the past.”

        Now you lost me, yucki. I am talking about the perceptual engine damaged by resentment. These are real axioms that can be spat out as chunks in the hand.

        Not fourth grade pseudo personality profiles that aren’t real.

        • Is there a doctor in the house?

          2008/09/22: http://www.faithfreedom.org/obama.html

          “Obama’s finest speeches do not excite. They do not inform. They don’t even really inspire. They elevate. They enmesh you in a grander moment, as if history has stopped flowing passively by, and, just for an instant, contracted around you, made you aware of its presence and your role in it. He is not the Word made flesh, but the triumph of word over flesh, over color, over despair. The other great leaders I’ve heard guide us towards a better politics, but Obama is, at his best, able to call us back to our highest selves, to the place where America exists as a glittering ideal, and where we, its honored inhabitants, seem capable of achieving it, and thus of sharing in its meaning and transcendence.”

          • Sept. 2008 – Ali Sina was certainly prescient. 0 is the very narcissist he describes.

            Somebody from the Soros machine discovered him, provided the “fodder” they knew he required, and stage-managed the whole production. He’s the cult-figure – the embodiment of something I’m not convinced he understands. All the “pseudo personality profiles” are projections of whatever these analysts choose to see. Beside the point.

            What matters now is stopping the engine that pulled off this coup. That’s a global challenge, but we in the US have disproportionate power to meet it. Repudiate the “legacy” – throw the bums out.

            • Yes, these managers/handlers find their stars, the insecure that are spectacular in tapping into the subconscious fears of their audience that wish to be flattered.

              The darker they are, the more brightly they shine for those with leanings into their world for approval. “Yes we can.”

              “Radar Online first obtained the police report and court papers, and an investigator on the case told them: ‘The documents exposed Jackson as a manipulative, drug-and-sex-crazed predator who used blood, gore, sexually explicit images of animal sacrifice and perverse adult sex acts to bend children to his will.’
              The source added: ‘He also had disgusting and downright shocking images of child torture, adult and child nudity, female bondage and sadomasochism.’
              The report states that many of the materials featuring naked men and women in the home could be used for the purpose of trying to attract young men.”

              Yes he did.

              • Sam Harris types would defend this man-boy love if it had become legal, citing Michael Jackson types were kind loving fathers and who needs to know what goes on in the bedroom.

                The rail that leads to nowhere, keeps running from its past.

  2. He was pretty good until he started to talk about Clinton vs Trump at the end and then he failed to understand that Clinton has been brought and paid for and that is why she refuses to talk about Islam.

    Also people like Geert Wilders are not extreme right in any sense.

    But in spite of it all that gave me cause for optimism.

    • Geert is not extreme and I don’t think Marine Le Pen is either. That is, of course, unless one considers defending one’s own property as “extreme”. We live in an age of constantly changing definitions of words in which every violent Pakistani in Britain is an “Asian” and every violent Muslim in France is suddenly a “youth”, even if he’s got grey hair.

      Watch out! Someone will ask you if you want fries with that, then punch you in the head because the meaning of the word “fries” has just been changed to “a punch in the head”.

  3. Great speech, but he called Donald Trump a “dangerous incompetent”. Well, isn’t that nice? Is Sam Harris aware that the most important election in recent US and world history is coming right around the corner and the very most disastrous candidate imaginable is currently well in the lead? We are this close to having Hillary Clinton as “leader of the free world”. This is a choice between Churchill and Chamberlain. Is Sam Harris aware that Hillary could use this very video and show it after saying, “See? Even the right-wing nutbars don’t like Donald Trump.” What drives conservatives to self-destruct in this way? It’s Trump or it’s Hillary (unless it’s Berney) Mr. Harris. Please don’t do things that will make Hillary win or we will all be chasing “violent extremists” around for the next four years as the Muslim supremacists slaughter us in ever-increasing numbers and Hillary screeches about gun control, racism, workplace violence, and the Goddamn glass ceiling.

    Oh, and how about President Sanders, Sam? Would you like to be partially responsible for that? Note that Bernie is a “Democratic Socialist” rather than a “Social Democrat”, which are almost, but not quite the same thing. Bernie thinks that the Israelis murdered 10,000 little “Palestinian” children in their quest to commit genocide against the Muslims. Bernie is a dangerous idiot who doesn’t know what’s going on and believes in a system that doesn’t work. That’s bad…

    Sam. Nobody is asking you who you want for President. They are asking you if you want Hillary Clinton or Donald Trump. Think, man, think…

    • The US can survive and probably thrive under Trump while rallying the civilized world to fight for survival. The US can not survive Hillary, at least not as a free nation.

      Take you pick survive free or become slaves.

      • Agreed. If hillary gets in at least one state will probably start seriously talking about breaking away and forming it’s own country especially if the Hillary government takes away their guns and keeps pumping Sunnis Muslims into the country. I, personally, would not be happy living in a “white Christian-only” country, but that might be what starts to develop. You can only push people so far…

        Come on Mitt, and Jeb and George and Carly and all the others who Donald should have been more polite to. Forget your own bruised egos and support the heck out of Donald Trump. Don’t worry, it’ll be Rudy Giuliani who’ll be running things anyway. Donald is a boss and he probably can’t even change a tire let alone unravel the Middle East, but he is very good at picking the right employees and pointing them in the right direction.

      • Liberalism.

        Atheism founded America – the land where no one and everyone is divinely ordained.

        • Well, yeah. There is a clear separation of church and state, to be sure. But it does say “In God we trust” on the dollar bill and I think that says something about the ethos of the nation…

        • Out of the many, one.

          “In God We Trust” is the official motto of the United States. It was adopted as the nation’s motto in 1956 as an alternative or replacement to the unofficial motto of E pluribus unum, which was adopted when the Great Seal of the United States was created and adopted in 1782.[1][2]”

          “E pluribus unum (/?i? ?pl??r?b?s ?u?n?m/; Latin: [?e? ?plu?r?b?s ?u?n??])—Latin for “Out of many, one””

          Capitalism runs exclusively on the trust between people.

          Once money is marked for trust in God, then even the thieves can pray for deliverance in opening this door by putting our faith in the wrong people.

          Now, out of one, Diversity.

          • Or as Jesus found, out of one, Legion.

            The divided individuals with a deity, identity and appetite on their sleeves.

      • Do you remember Sarah Palin’s “endorsement” of Mitt Romney. Talk about luke warm. She said, “Any Republican would be better than Barack Obama so I suppose you should vote for Mitt Romney.” Gee. Thanks, Sarah. Typical hardline Republican Evangelical (no offence, Richard). Anybody who doesn’t want to start the Second American Civil War over the abortion issue is a RINO, and is basically a hippy who can’t find his Zig-zag papers for the trip to the Communist rally. It’s pitiful. They don’t seem to really understand how democracy actually works or what it’s actually supposed to do, which is provide a way for leaders to transition without having an armed conflict every time. That’s why we invented democracy, and so far it’s doing its job pretty well. Democracy is not about every detail going your way or you’ll leave in a snit and go home, Sarah.

  4. Sam Harris stills defaults to the Leftist/Progressive definitions of things, like in the manner in which the Left denies Fascism, which seeks to align corporations with the state’s ambitions; think Facebook, Twitter, Apple etc on side with Gov’t/Progressives causes in editing/censoring/denying/banning comment or criticism about the invasion force of young able-bodied Muslims.

    Yeah Sam, like your last sentence says,”Let’s get our terms right, at the very least.” Let’s start with you. The pure and simple fact is that Islam is the problem for all people, Muslims and kafirs alike. From there, everything makes sense … and the Muslim bloodlust, and lust in general, shocking as it is, is hardly surprising.
