Sam Harris, a neuroscientist, philosopher, New York Times bestselling author, and host of the reputedly non-partisan and intellectually honest "Making Sense" podcast, just destroyed his own credibility, if not his entire career, in less than two minutes by finally admitting what he really thinks about free speech and censorship.
On the YouTube show and podcast "TRIGGERnometry," with hosts Konstantin Kisin and Francis Foster, Harris addressed censorship of the New York Post's now-infamous Hunter Biden laptop story ahead of the November 2020 election.
“Hunter Biden literally could have had the corpses of children in his basement, I would not have cared,” Harris stated. "Whatever the scope of Joe Biden's corruption is ... — getting kickbacks from Hunter Biden's deals in Ukraine ... or China — it is infinitesimal compared to the corruption we know Donald Trump is involved in."

Harris goes on to admit that suppressing the information found on Hunter Biden's laptop until after the was "absolutely" a "Left-wing conspiracy to deny the presidency to Donald Trump," but argued that "it was warranted."
"I'm sorry ... but you've just said something I really struggle with there," Kisin interjected. "You're saying you are content with a Left-wing conspiracy to prevent somebody being democratically reelected as president?"
"It was a conspiracy out in the open, but it doesn't matter what part's conspiracy, what part's out in the open," Harris responded. He went on to justify the election-influencing "Left-wing conspiracy" by suggesting that President Donald Trump was the equivalent of "an asteroid hurtling toward Earth."
\u201cThe quiet part. He said it out loud. This is a document for the ages.\u201d— Alexandros Marinos (@Alexandros Marinos) 1660776992
\u201c"There's an algorithm I run more than most, called intellectual honesty".\n\nComing strong out the gate, Harris.\nhttps://t.co/seNg32jAAs\u201d— Alexandros Marinos (@Alexandros Marinos) 1660775795
\u201c@ellymelly These are the very same people that scream about "democracy!!". But yet, they'll do anything to destroy the democratic process, when they "believe it's the right thing to do."\u201d— Alexandra Marshall (@Alexandra Marshall) 1660818264
\u201cHistorically I have always liked and respected @SamHarrisOrg. I have no personal beef with him. We probably agree on 95% of issues. However, his Trump hatred is off-putting because it perfectly captures what happens to a parasitized mind infected with blind hatred. Rationality\u201d— Gad Saad (@Gad Saad) 1660829484
\u201cTrump has countless personal faults that are truly grotesque, in a democracy founded on deontological and non-violable first principles, we can NEVER set these aside for any reason. Tyrants have utilized the "existential urgency" argument to engage in horrifying acts throughout\u201d— Gad Saad (@Gad Saad) 1660829484
\u201cdemocracy; he did not institute martial law. Any logical and rational person would conclude that despite Trump's endless personality flaws, he instituted policies that both Sam and me would agree with. Yet Sam's pathological hatred of Trump causes him to lose any commitment to\u201d— Gad Saad (@Gad Saad) 1660829484
\u201cthe mainstream media's silencing of the Hunter Biden story because "it's too dangerous to allow Trump to win a second term." I'm astonished that someone of Sam's intellectual and moral abilities could have sunk to such a depraved level of consequentialism. To reiterate, I like\u201d— Gad Saad (@Gad Saad) 1660829484
