Waking Up With Sam Harris 2017 #42 - Racism and Violence in America (with Glenn Loury)

[@Dwadedragon]

Loury is absolutely brilliant 👏

[@kevinw2569]

This should be required listening

[@mikegray8776]

Two great men with sharply different backgrounds and careers, respecting each other’s expertise, experience and analysis, without even a hint of rancour or ubiquitous virtue-signalling. Not a debate as such, but a full, open and non-prejudicial examination of the many vexed factors which bear on the American Race divide. Bravo gentlemen - I could have listened to 2 further hours.

And that’s why so much progress has been made. Two men, of different races, sitting down and so intently exploring the other side’s viewpoint that they both, not only fully grasp the arguments that are common among the other’s race, but they bend over backwards to over emphasize the ridiculousness of some of the views that can be prevalent among people of their own respective race.

I agree with Sam. I absolutely love how Glenn almost always stealmans the other side and articulates it to great length and detail. This Truly shows he has a comprehensive understanding of what he's talking about. When you can make a better argument against your position than your interlocutor then forget it. You win almost by default

[@NeffieJane85]

Yes agreed! He’s very unique in that way.
