Susan - I am glad you did listen. I used to listen to Sam’s meditation app, Waking Up and to his podcast, Making Sense. I read some of his books, including the short one he refers to on Islam.

Susan - I am glad you did listen. I used to listen to Sam’s meditation app, Waking Up and to his podcast, Making Sense. I read some of his books, including the short one he refers to on Islam. I cancelled the app and the podcast about a year ago because of a few things: his position on the suppression of the Hunter Biden laptop story; his position on suppressing speech on Covid - both of these “for the greater good”.

There seems to be very little room for doubt in Sam’s world. But this one seems to me to be spot on and worth a listen. So, I am glad you gave it a listen too. The incredible power of bad idea is all around us and is truly scary.
Wow...EXACTLY the same with me. Used his meditation app, listened to his podcasts etc. The TDS, Covid stances made me question him until I couldn't take it anymore and bailed.
