Hello you legends. Watch the full 3+ hour episode with Sam here - ukposts.info/have/v-deo/m5GjjmmWZ2heuZs.html

Cool that you are interviewing him in a James Bond torture room.

Regardless of your opinion on Tate. The question shouldn't be whether or not he is right or wrong, good or bad. The question should be, What is missing in peoples lives and our culture that means that a charcter like Tate has such a following?

He went over 3 minutes in this clip before mentioning Trump. That's great progress from Sam.

My new favourite quote "it should be more obvious to more people that someone's an asshole" Sooo true

Its the widespread dismal level of parenting that has teenagers and young men seeking mentors outside of their father.

I’m 70 years old. Andrew Tate is abrasive in his approach which by itself turns some people off to the point where they can’t hear the message. This is similar to the issue some folks have with Jordan Peterson. However their fundamental message is very true. The role of masculine men in society has been marginalized. There is a pseudo sophistication in our society that doesn’t see the need for strong, tough, aggressive men. That mentality even feeds into this fluid gender identity mythology. Equality, equality, inclusion, open minded, diversity and all the other buzzwords are an attempt to blur the lines of social norms that have existed for thousands of years. Not all of those norms are relevant or constructive but we seem to have thrown out the baby with the bath water. On some issues I’m 100% for being closed minded. An extreme example, or what appears to be extreme today, is the idea that a man can become a woman. Utter nonsense and yet you have supposedly very educated people that can look you straight in the eyes and make this claim. Another not quite as obvious is that racism is a major problem in the U.S. As a “person of color” married to another “person of color” having lived among people of color all my life that is utter nonsense. But you have preachers of the racial divide and a willing media still talking as if it is 1950’s. I lived through the 1950’s, 60’s and 70’s in Harlem. This is NOT your grandfather’s 1950’s. None of my kids, grandkids or great grandkids (white, black and everything in between) gets away with telling me how racism is the major barrier holding them back from achieving their goals in life. Yes, you will still get a sideways look, a roll of the eyes and a racial slur from some but there are no structural racial roadblocks preventing them from graduating from college or advancing in a particular career. Is there an absolutely level playing field? No. I apologize that my last name isn’t Gates, Clinton, Obama or Trump. Being born into a family with a billion dollars or impressive political connections does help. Such is life. But I’m very much concerned about giving the government the power and control so they can attempt to make things fair and equitable. Their attempt usually ends up trampling on the rights of those they are claiming they’re trying to help. In 21st century America if you put in the work you will be rewarded. All the attempts to reap rewards without putting in the work has resulted in a country with failing infrastructure and $33 trillion in debt.

I remember seeing Tate explain why he should have some say in what his girlfriend wears. Basically saying that because he may have to defend her, he now has a stake in her clothing selection. I remember thinking that this is like a Dwight Schrute mentality. It’s not necessarily wrong, it’s just a really adolescent set of priorities. Andrew Tate (and even more so, his brother) just give me this little boy vibe. It’s funny because his whole thing is supposed to be masculinity, but I see a little boy when I look at him and listen to him speak.

“Intellect is not wisdom.” - Thomas Sowell

I really wish Christopher Hitchens was still with us, so we could listen to his views on the state of society.

Harris even knowing that Andrew Tate exists breaks my heart a little.

"we're at a time whereeeeeee. people actually stopped watching tv for a second and they can actually think for themselves for moments at a time"

"Nothing more dangerous than the ignorance of the intelligent" Thomas Sowell

JP left a vacuum? Did I get that right? He’s left tons of material, take it & use it. We actually don’t need endless advice, we need implementation of what we already know. Making content is more for the content maker than it is for need, often. Let’s appreciate JP for not indulging in that temptation.

As a software engineer, the one thing that has been evident to me in my years is most people need something to follow. In my industry, every single person I have ever met or worked with who were genuinely exceptional at what they did, all used a particular skill that was endemic to only "their kind", and that was being able to know when to say "it depends" and knowing what to follow and when. Such terrible software has been built by many people I know that all completely failed to apply experience and critical problem solving skills to build a solution but swore by a bunch of frameworks and principles. My industry - just like society and many other industries - are completely infatuated with frameworks or ideas to follow because they feel like without them people completely descend to chaos. However, the truly exceptional people don't need such frameworks (or at least the ones most use) because they are able to operate without them because they can make those decisions on when to use them and what each give. This somewhat relates to what Sam has been arguing over the years with Religion with Peterson. Sam is the "exceptional" person who doesn't need religion to be a good person or succeed in society. However, as much as he likes to say religion isn't needed, the second you remove it, all of the non exceptional people will crumble into chaos - because some people (most) NEED something to follow as a framework or an order. Whether it be religion, veganism, political leanings, transgenderism or whatever "tribe" that has their things to follow. Tate for me is just another "tribe".

The pendulum swings back and forth. When everything became offensive being an asshole became attractive to people. When being an asshole gets played out, empathy will come back in style.

“I’ve seen enough of his content” is always the tell. Translation: “I’ve seen a few tik toks from my explore tab and formed an opinion”

loving all the Tate-worshipping soy boys here proving Sam's point

I must agree with some of your audience when it comes to JP, I don't believe he has abandoned the youngman, I think one challange some have to face is taking that advice and putting it into practice. It's quite temting to keep looking for materials out there that will help you get better, you just have to take the first step and continue to walk even if sometimes it is not at the speed you wished. As for Sam's response to Trump's popularity I think it's more of a reaction to the overly protective mother spirit that's dooming the western world, when you impose a too kind and compassionate extreme people will run the other way. None of these extreme are good for us.

Still, the best way is to find answers in this chaotic world is to operate with a critical mind. You can take pieces of wisdom from anyone who has done something positive. The message that Andrew Tate is giving was and still given by J.Peterson, David Goggins, Jocko Wilinck, Andy Frisella, Bedros Keullian, Patric Bet David and many more in much better way. We can clearly see that most of the young men who follow Tate's advice are operating from a reaction position rather than rational thinking.

chris: let's talk about andrew tate sam: orange man bad!

Sam is known for having an opiniom on everything , even things he doesnt really know anything about he just makes up one. Hes really bad at saying "i dont know" or "i havent seen enough of him to form my own opinion"

Who pissed in this guy’s cereal lol

"I know you want to be like me, and if you're not good enough to be like me, I'll sleep with your girlfriend." 🤣🤣🤣

So he doesn’t know anything about him but has an opinion…

I've not heard a funnier and, indeed, truer summation of Tate.

The production of these podcasts are on a different level Chris.

Two comments: 1. I don't think that Andrew Tate is filling Jordan Peterson's hole. It;s hard to believe that the viewers of those two are the same. 2. Chris and Sam are clearly doing some "curls for the girls"! You should have arm wrestled instead of just talking!

Tate is one of the least wise, least interesting, popular public figures. If you think Tate is wise, get a library card and start reading some books. Start with Plato and work your way forward.

Sam Harris NAILED my feelings entirely on this. Andrew Tate talks about discipline but that's not what he really means. He talks about hard work and being "good" but that's not what he really means. At bottom he means relentless egoism and selfishness and some degree of narcissism. For someone who's never seen a truly masculine, compassionate, good man you might think Andrew Tate is that but it's not at all. There's some seriously remarkable, good champion men that existed in the past that you could strive to be like. Of course older men like Sam Harris know this, they grew up in a different time with different role models and got to see this first hand. Great interview.

i wonder if sam can go 5 minutes without thinking about trump

Thank you for the aspect ratio👍 Always nice to see a video made for a full screen phone.

Sam is caught up in his own dislike for these characters! He fails to really look at the real reasons why these people are truly popular in the first place.

If I received a dollar every time Harris opined about something through the lens of his personal, subjective disdain for Trump, I'd be wealthier than the most popular X influencers.

Andrew would never have the balls to have a formal debate with Sam

Tate has a point when he mentioned that young boys find him cool and that's why they listen to him. Sam is a smart guy and speaks like it. If you view Sam from young boy's perspective, he wil more likely come across as boring. This means that his words will come across as meaningless to those that it's designed to help.

The only thing I care less than Andrew Tate is other people's opinions of Andrew Tate

Shapiro said it best, Tate is AMAZING at diagnosing the problems and he is absolutely trash at recommending solutions. Unless he’s changed, I keep hearing him say he’s changed.

Tate is simply a symptom a larger problem. With "social" media, many teenagers spend much of their time inside and never develop any meaningful relationships. This creates deep feelings of anger and resentment with many guys thinking they need to be over the top in order to get women and garner respect. It's literally the perfect storm for someone like Tate to capitalize on.

I for one would like to see Chris sit down with Andrew Tate. I don’t really care what Sam thinks of Andrew. He doesn’t have the pulse of young men about virtually anything. Chris could hold Andrew’s feet to the fire and ask good questions.

I’ve not explored much of Sam Harris’ material, but I think I could get into it. I’m a big fan of Jordan Peterson (except his god bothering ways). Tate… well no. I find him too much. His narcissistic narrative is definitely ‘teenage’, and so even when he does make coherent points, he’s not someone you would quote or want to appear aligned with.

Everytime i hear Sam talk I believe more and more that his name is on a flight log.

The problem with Sam is he acts like this really pragmatic, fair custodian of ethics, but he strawmans Tate's views and then ignores the objectively positive aspects of his message. But sam talks with a really calm voice tho so let's just all nod our heads.

It’s interesting watching him judge Tate after saying he doesn’t know or hasn’t seem much about him. I just watched the interview on Candace Owens and it was very helpful to make sense of him. He seems smart and very ethically wise 🤔

I always admire Sam’s ability to articulate his opinion so precisely …. But When his opinion is so shallow and a reflection of strong personal biases - makes him look so weak and petty - much less admirable

Proof that education, IQ, or intelligence does not bestow wisdom on a person.

Tate speaks youth directly without philosophical complicated words. In every 10 seconds, he says something simple, right and direct.

Despite being Buddhist, I used to refuse Sam Harris because I was hypnotized by Reza Aslan. Now, I love listening to Sam Harris, he has a great loving kindness and wisdom.

I wish I was half as morally superior as Harris thinks he is.

Can you get the apostate prophet on here to talk about the Candace Owens interview with Andrew Tate. He did a ton of research on the case and is very equipped to respond to the lies in that interview

Young men should be looking for insights from their parents, teachers, elders, and honest hard working folks around them. NOT Andrew Tate, not Jordan Peterson or even Chris Harris. I understand the always connected, internet, social media culture we live in, but the reality in the real world is different than what any UKposts channel screams about. Including yours, Chris. All of this is entertainment, not reality. That is the most important insight, that UKposts, and social media is just ENTERTAINMENT!

The best answers come from within, hearing something said by someone else that resonates from within is how we pass on wisdom. Who we choose to listen to is always a reflection of how we feel inside. Thought leaders are placeholders for us not soing our own thinking

Who the hell is sam Harris to determine anything about what this Generation need

Tell me u never watched a full context andrew tate video without telling me 😐

Complaining about Andrew tate, but he himself is not doing anything to help/trying to connect with young men.

That guy doesn’t even exist to me and I’m better off for it. I got the information I really needed from Andrew Huberman 💫✊ 335 days no alcohol 🏆

Tate is for ppl who didnt have a dad and need to justify their misogyny

I thought the whole Tate thing was a media smear campaign, and for the most part it is but if you actually watch videos of him talking about his webcam business it's the most disgusting, subhuman stuff ever.

Bro has never actually listened to a full Tate interview

The irony of Sam Harris not seeing that the majority of people would come away from a conversation with him thinking “what an asshole” 😂

Absolutely disagree, the reason the west is in bad shape is because we are too tolerant and too compassionate. So compassionate that when someone says, "I am not a person, I am a cat" we just agree and allow them to live outside of reality. This isn't helping anyone. Andrew Tate made a great point in his interview with Candace Owens. Tate is cool, that's why young guys listen to him. I agree with Sam on a lot of things and also disagree with Tate on a lot of things. This just isn't one of them.

Sam Harris built some muscle.

sam harris got jacked 💪

Sam Harris calling anyone an A Hole is hilarious. He’s one of the most underrated unself aware people in the intellectual realm.

he's got chris hysterical laughter but he's trying to hold it in!😂 all this ass-holery!😅😅😅

Sam Harris is just a Sam Seder ... but with a calm demeanor and mellifluous voice.

What you said about fluency...well rounded delivery & 'that sounds true'.

Side question of course, but does anyone know what type / brand of laptop Chris has in this video? So tiny.

Unbelievable Chris.. thank you for being a North Star of curiosity for generations that are lost. Love island was sick also!

A man pressed his finger onto a bruise and felt a rush of pain, so he cut off his finger. That is what we do when we focus on AT.

"Assholery" is a new term to add into an Oxford dictionary!

saying andrew tate is not ideal is such an understatement lmfao

Thank God this guy just spends his time talking about shit he doesn’t do, rather than take a point of leadership over potential men, which would never follow a Sam H.

This isnt ground breaking stuff that hes saying here, but from listening to sam speak in other podcasts, you can tell the guy is VERY intelligent, he pretty much described these topics spot on

Sam Harris: I haven't met Andrew Tate or took a deep dive into his background or on what he's "guilty" of...but I will assume I am smart enough to judge a book by its cover and be right. It only took the first 10 seconds of this clip to know Sam knows nothing on Andrew Tate besides what others assume to know about him. That was a very non-intellectual approach.

Tate is an icon for the plebs. Hyper macho smooth talking materialistic cliche. Fast food hero.

The stark difference between the comments on these 10-minute sound bites and the 3-hour full podcast paint a clear picture of which audience (Harris' or Tate's) has the mental aptitude to take in complex sets of information and for appreciating many viewpoints. Instead of word-vomiting a comment filled with grammatical mistakes and logical fallacies on their emotionally driven incel impulse, people idolizing Tate might want to go touch grass and read a book.

Anyone who feels masculine by slavishly following someone else is pretty much the opposite of masculine.

Sam is critical of everything except himself.

A ridiculous take

Sam does radiate some strong presence energy - must be quite impressive

Dr. Harris should debate and then fight Top G...

Sam Harris has a lot of criticism for someone who offers young men absolutely zero advice

It is easy to criticize Tate, but no one other than him are able to reach young people with a positive message. I think Jordan Petersen is the only other person with an impact on young men. I would like to see Sam debating Tate. Or Chris.

Sam is completely unaware about the debauchery of Modern Women in 2023.

Dr Jodran Peterson has left enough videos, enough books and enough research surrounding the subject of mental health and specifically addressing mens issues within society in order to move on to other subjects. There is a difference. It doesn’t have to be on going as what makes a psychological difference to the human mind, let alone neurological, is not going to change so significantly, within the next 20 years that it renders that information void. Furthermore, Peterson is a clinical psychiatrist he wasn’t ever specialising in one subject matter.

If the fact that Peterson isn’t telling 18 year old dudes to make their bed creates a vacuum for Tate then we dropped the ball a long time ago.

Lol it’s a bit ironic hearing Sam Harris talk about people being assholes like he’s the beacon of kindness.

Let's face it... Sam doesn't declare his "assholery" in a concise form.

Sam Harris cant talk for 3 minutes straight without moving on to talk about religion. you would think he'd get bored at some point...

The expectation that our role models, mentors, etc. Have to be perfect, or we need to agree with everything they do is why the world is the way that it is. We're all are not perfect, but that doesn't mean Tate doesn't have a valuable message

Sam used to be spot on with issues. Not so much now. Who cares who’s an A-hole? I only care what’s true. And Tate says some true things.

Andrew Tate reminds me of Gunnery Sergent Hartman, the senior drill instructor in the movie "Full Metal Jacket."

Sam Harris is getting buff 💪

Tate's own words are his downfall. He's basically already confessed to his crimes. He'll have his day in court

Before watching, let me guess. Sam no longer uses rationale thought about Tate and views him as dangerous. He will also somehow tie it to his deranged irrational hate and fear of Trump

We're all selfish by design. Its about practicing humility, being honest and flawed. Willingness to do the right thing. Finding out who you are and not conforming to other people's ideals. Run you're own race.

Listen to Sam Harris makes you think that you wished Christopher hitchens was here instead

My own positive opinion of Tate is less about the materialism and hyper-masculinity - it’s more about the fact he doesn’t cower and has some virtuous positions that he expresses boldly, unapologetically (and rather articulately)
