Thanks for posting. I started watching, but will have to do so in bursts, as it's hard to find time.
I was actually just dating a girl who was all into the Intellectual Dark Web, big Sam Harris fan, and insisted that in spite of the outcome, it's okay and even necessary to Just Ask Questions, lest we embrace ignorance. I told her that making these kinds of distinctions reminds me of people who go out of their way to insist "it's not pedophilia, it's ephebophilia." They're not wrong, but I'll give them the side eye and wonder what their motivations are. Though in this case, it sounds like Murray really is wrong.
Anyway, I'm pretty sure she was all about this book, so I wish I could send this video to her. But she was a terrible and abusive person, so I cut her off completely.
