Welcome to the Eric Erickson Show podcast, Hour 2.

Hello and welcome.

It is Eric Erickson here.

The phone number, if you want to be on the program 8779 733725 welcome I listen I

tease this I don't want to drag it out I want to get right to this I think it's

very important that you hear this I'm if you know who Sam Harris is, he's a philosopher.

And he is one of the most ardent, militant atheists in the United States and around the world.

He is known for being, what is it, one of the four horsemen of atheism, along with Chris Hitchens and who else?

Is it Richard Dawkins and a couple others?

He is, well, he's of the left.

He's got some weirdly spiritualistic views for an atheist,

but he's a highly respected philosopher of the left. And he's being interviewed by a group of people. And one of the things you should

know about Harris to a degree is that, well, he has some very science-based views, if you will.

And so he's been accused by some of being on the alt-right because of some of his views.

He's not on the all right.

He very much is a progressive.

But there are people on the right

who have dabbled with him in their ideas.

He is supposedly one of the intellectual,

members of the intellectual dark web,

the Joe Rogan, Brett Weinstein,

Jordan Peterson group, but he's of the left.
