Sam Harris Claims He Will Help Prepare the Way for Space Aliens

6/7/2021

Atheist philosopher Sam Harris told Ricky Gervais on Absolutely Mental that an unnamed person contacted him to inform him that he will be participating in a Zoom call with top U.S. intelligence officials to plan messaging around the disclosure of the existence of space aliens. Here is what he said:

Someone reached out to me, and he assured me that I’m going to be on a Zoom call with former heads of, you know, the CIA and the Office of Naval Research and people high—whose bona fides are very easy to track. And they’re concerned about the messaging around all of this to the public and dampening down panic and conspiracy theories. But what is being promised here is a disclosure that is, frankly, either the most alarming or the most interesting thing in the world, depending on how you take it. But it’s not a representation of the facts that will give scientific skeptics any comfort. And that’s just—we’re faced with the prospect of having to apologize to the people we’ve been laughing at for the last fifty years, who have been alleging that they have been abducted or that cattle have been anally probed. Pick your punchline.

One wonders why Sam Harris--an alt-right troll with xenophobic, homophobic, and every other -phobic tendencies--would be invited to prepare the public for the arrival of aliens. This is doubly strange when we remember that former America Unearthed host Scott Wolter also recently asserted that a government official contacted him to offer a similar opportunity to create and deliver pro-alien messaging.

I find it hard to believe that the Pentagon and the intelligence services, even ex-members, would choose divisive, third-rate figures to disclose the existence of aliens by Zoom. Sean Cahill, the co-founded or Lue Elizondo's UFO think tank Skyfort, claimed on the Project Unity podcast that he would be speaking with Harris and "some other folks" at a public forum. It would seem to be unlikely that these events are entirely unrelated.

Dear Eric Cartman; Please accept my humble apologies for laughing at the anal probe coming out of your ying yang.

No, Jim. You learned nothing from Captain Ramius? You go anal at the BOTTOM of the hour!

In old interviews and debates, Sam Harris is at least intelligent and lucid even if he occasionally lets his bigotry show. But this? This is bonkers insane. This is one step above selling crystal skulls at conspiracy conventions.

I don't know if Sam harris is 'alt-right' whatever that means, but where do you get the idea that he is a "xenophobe" and "homophobe"? Having never met the man we can only go by the way he presents himself in public, and that is as a highly intelligent, articulate, considerate and thoughtful person.

Maybe, as you sauggest, he is Attila the Hun reincarnated, but fucked if I can see it.

GW Bush: We're going to bomb the enemies of Freedom but we're not at War with Islam, that would upset our Saudi friends.

David Cameron: ISIS are evil but don't represent Islam.

The French: Algerians are legal citizens and need to be treated fairly. Its their problem that they think our laws are unfair on them but we're just treating them fairly since we won't allow Catholics to wear Veils either.

Sam Harris: We're in an existential war with Islam and need to admit it. Only White Supremicists are talking sensibly about Islam.

His whole schtick is that the right wingers who've been running the west for the past 20+ years aren't being bigoted enough.

There's a big difference between having a lot of thoughts/considerations (or the same three thoughts about a lot of things) and being thoughtful/considerate. I guess you can have articulate and intelligent though he's never don't much with the latter. I'm sure I could get a PHD in Neuroscience if I had a Golden Girls trustfund to throw money at producing meaningless data for my thesis.

Right wingers running the west? Don't make me laugh, even the middling right wing has been politically dead for decades

I have no strong feelings either way for Harris, but apparently you do. There is a strong whiff of envy in your sneering remark about trustfunds, but a trustfund can't buy you a magnetic charisma which he undoubtedly has. Not to mention a superb writing style.

Not too concerned about the neuroscience thing, I assume neuroscientists perform some useful function.

Sam Harris is alt-right? Guess that was another Sam Harris that spent the last 4 years crying to anyone that would listen that orange man bad.

Sam Harris is far from Alt-Right, but the actual Neo-Nazis turned on Trump years ago.

6/11/2021 02:08:25 am

Jason, you may be working at cross-purposes with yourself.

Sam Harris is that rare "homophobe" who supports gay marriage? Mkay...

Xenophobic? He actually left the country to study with foreigners.
If you mean he talks about the Muslim doctrine of killing or taxing unbelievers, color me xenophobic. My Islamic theology teacher, a student of Khomeini, would get a good chuckle out of that.

Don't be such a .... can't say it (a Yorkshireism) because that would be "phobic". This applies to everyone: whether you believe it or not: the universe is laughing behind your back.

Yeah, because it's not like a xenophobe ever decided to bite the bullet for the sake of a good educational opportunity abroad.

6/20/2021 07:15:12 am

Well he did go to the land of Brown (not Rhode Island) and took a Brown as his teacher....biting the bullet indeed. Then came back to the U.S. for his academic education. In both cases he took Sam Kinison's advice and "moved to where the food is."

The Guardian has a piece by Mick West about what these videos likely really show and how the UFO hype will fall flat again. Not that that will stop profiteers like Leslie Kean from puffing up the next silliness. I really am considering ending my subscription to the New York Times, I can't believe they're touting this stuff just for clickbait. But the Washington Post and others are doing it too, and I need some sort of source for halfway reliable news.

Machala,

Thought you might be interested in these. Shows evidence of European explorers being in your area of South America long before Columbus set foot in the Bahamas. Have any runic inscriptions ever been found in South America? A whole bunch of people are going to need to recalibrate their BS meter. I realize this article is about extraterrestrial aliens but, these explorers were aliens to the ancient peoples of the Americas.

Oh good, more stuff to ignore from Johnny Two to Five Books a Day Every Day for Forty-two Years who once paid someone to vanity publish one poem. Had to have a scoutmaster teach him to follow deer tracks in the snow, possibly the easiest least in need of teaching tracking there is. Here's how to track deer in the snow: go outside. End of lesson.

More cellphone camera crap.

I was recently perusing a map of Middle Earth and found an Icon representing the Newport Tower on the south coast of Gondor.

"Here's how to track deer in the snow.."

Of course, everyone is born with the innate knowledge of how to distinguish between a buck track and a doe track, how fast or slow a deer is moving, physical condition of the deer, how different snow conditions effect recognizing tracks, which direction the tracks are going, how to distinguish one particular track within a group of intermingled deer tracks and how to determine in advance where a deer may be going based on various factors.

6/21/2021 03:44:24 pm

If you need help telling what direction the tracks are going in (kinda the central thing in tracking) might as well just lay down in the snow.

Casts a little doubt on the rest of your list.

Because everyone is born with the innate knowledge of which end of any given set of cloven hoof prints is the business end and also knows how to figure out the difference in powder snow compared to rapidly melting snow compared to crusted snow.

Anyone one here who can distinguish among whitetail buck prints, nanny goat prints, feral boar prints, and domestic ewe prints, animals that sometimes share the same territory, who doesn't think that Kent is an idiot? Anyone, anyone?

6/22/2021 12:08:41 pm

If you can't tell the difference between a deer track and a goat and a pig's footprints yeah, maybe you should meet with Anthony's scoutmaster,

You see a deer, you look at the track, you say "That's a deer track."
You do the same with goats,
You do the same with pigs.

It's not rocket science.

It's funny that in Anthony's tale his scoutmaster never saw the tracks of the wolf who killed the deer. Never saw the wolf at all now that I think of it. Of course maybe he confused wolf tracks for deer tracks, It's an easy mistake to make, according to you.

Scoutmaster obvious

"If you can't tell tell the difference between a deer track and a goat and a pig's footprint."

Because people are born with the innate knowledge of how to distinguish among deer, goat, and pig tracks. Why don't you give a detailed description of the typical track of each and how they differ based on the knowledge that you were born with rather than what you have to learn or be taught.

"You see a deer, you look at the track..."

It's called T-R-A-C-K-I-N-G for a reason because you are working with TRACKS. Do you really think that deer just casually stroll through the woods so people can just follow them without resorting to tracks?

"It's not rocket science"

Nothing is rocket science except for rocket science. Operating a microwave, changing the oil in your car, etc. are not rocket science but that doesn't mean that doing them correctly is instinctive.

Say goodbye Joe Kent. Goodbye Joe Kent.
