BK calling out Sam Harris on his "sophomoric ignorance"

I am finding this Twitter storm from BK pretty entertaining, although I highly doubt Harris will accept.
Well, if that's truly the intention, then I'd be surprised if provoking SH into a dialogue by way of a ridicule-laden twitter take down will accomplish it, as it would seem counterproductive if BK is truly interested in a dialogue, just giving SH a reason to decline by countering with his own 'troll' accusation.

Those were my thoughts. Harris can now always bow out and say "well, he was being a dick".Soul_of_Shu wrote: ↑Sun Jun 20, 2021 11:20 amWell, if that's truly the intention, then I'd be surprised if provoking SH into a dialogue by way of a ridicule-laden twitter take down will accomplish it, as it would seem counterproductive if BK is truly interested in a dialogue, just giving SH a reason to decline by countering with his own 'troll' accusation.

Ah ... method to his mockery? SH does tend to draw a lot of clicks through the www viewfinder, which BK photobombs with an Essentia hyperlinkBen Iscatus wrote: ↑Sun Jun 20, 2021 2:07 pm The way I see it is more nuanced: BK does not really expect SH to accept, but a bit of baiting like this will surely help raise the profile of Essentia and analytic idealism.
Yes, that makes sense. SH would probably convert to Mormonism (in handcuffs perhaps) before debating with BK.Ah ... method to his mockery? SH does tend to draw a lot of clicks through the www viewfinder, which BK photobombs with an Essentia hyperlink
