When Sam Harris said that “there was more scientific advancement in a single zip code of New York than in all the history of Islam” I knew instantly what a fucking hack he was. Those aren’t even directly comparable concepts and one is measured geographically and the other in a much more vague and nebulous form!
That comparison doesn’t make any sense whatsoever. Also, no one in any New York zip code invented algebra or chemistry so even with his premise its still wrong lol
Hell yeah. Theres so much wrong with Harris it needs a part two
