Sam Harris - the gateway drug to neo nazism

I have to hope this was written by someone on the far right with a sense of humour because if it's real I want to cut off the writer's arm with a rusty penknife and beat the whinging little sadsack to death with it.

Really? I read it as a rather good example of how it isn't just computers that suffer from GIGO syndrome.

The problem is that the internet provides a free conduit for views of every shade of opinion, from the totally Loonie Left to those who consider Hitler a liberal - and sadly, most people are too naive/uneducated/stupid to analyse all this junk - hence Brexit and Trump.
