Sam Harris & Konstantin Kisin Debate "Platforming" the other side - Israel-Hamas, Tucker, DEI & Migrants
In today’s episode of Impact Theory, I’m joined by Sam Harris and Konstantin Kisin to dive deep and debate the pressing issues surrounding misinformation, corruption, credibility, and the societal impact of distorted realities.
Sam Harris is a neuroscientist, philosopher, best-selling author, and podcast host whose work focuses on how a growing understanding of ourselves and the world is changing our sense of how we should live.
Konstantin Kisin is a Russian-born comedian, author, and podcast host that explores complex topics with a blend of humor and serious inquiry, making acute observations about modern societal trends and challenges.
Together, we dissect the challenges of navigating the modern information landscape, combatting cognitive biases, and championing the pursuit of truth in a world where truth itself seems increasingly elusive.
We also discuss:
- Importance of Pursuing Truth and Independent Thinking
- Overcoming Bias in Perception
- Influence of Social Media on Discourse and Truth
- Necessity of Error Correction in Knowledge Growth
- Challenges in Determining Truth and Reality
- Media Influence on Public Opinion and Reality
- Individual Rights in the West
- Upholding Liberal Democracy
From addressing controversial figures to defending Western values, we explore the power of truth, the challenges of social media, and the quest for meaningful discourse in a world filled with noise.
CHAPTER MARKERS:
[0:00] Tools distort reality
[21:48] Ideas & the truth
[41:15] Historical context matters
[1:00:46] The spread of misinformation
[1:21:54] Carefully engage with criticism
[1:38:55] Protecting democracy and capitalism
POWERFUL QUOTES FROM THE DEBATE:
"They notice a signal in their audience. They notice an appetite for a certain message, and because they're incentivized to feed that signal, they do it, and they wind up becoming radicalized by their audience."
— Sam Harris
"The truth matters because there is a reality. And if we're not tracking it to some pragmatic approximation in our lives, we're just going to bump into hard objects."
— Sam Harris
"You can always find a crazy PhD, or a PhD who's semi crazy and has just a hobby horse that he can't get off of, who will attest anything, no matter how crazy."
— Sam Harris
"I don't think it's an accident that democracy, the combination of democracy and capitalism and political freedom has been this engine of wealth and creativity. And we should want to defend that because the alternatives, all the alternatives that we know about suck, right?"
"I think the fragmentation of our reality is a really scary thing."
— Konstantin Kisin
"We have now reached a stage where we're not talking about the truth. We are now pandering, playing to our audience, compensating for our own psychological traumas."
— Konstantin Kisin
"I think that being interested in what's ultimately true is the way that we can overcome our inclination to believe things that charismatic people tell us, to believe things that match what we already believe."
— Konstantin Kisin
"I have found that, I think in the US, those kind of ideas about how the world is and who runs it and all of that seem to have a way broader appeal than they do in the UK, where I live."
— Konstantin Kisin
"The reason our system works is because we have created incentive structures that take us forward that mean that talented, inventive, creative, driven, passionate, smart people can profit from that talent, can profit from their own hard work and retain what they create."
— Konstantin Kisin

Dr John Campbell Addresses Sex Differences In Medicine
May 28, 2024
NHS staff told to apologise for using ‘wrong’ pronouns
https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2024/05/27/nhs-staff-ordered-apologise-using-wrong-pronouns
Lewisham and Greenwich NHS Trust issued an 18-page diversity and inclusion policy forcing medics to accept patients’ personal pronouns.
Should not confront patients using single-sex facilities regardless of their appearance.
The trust’s trans policy, which came into effect in February last year according to the Daily Mail, said staff must say sorry to patients if they made mistakes relating to a patient’s pronouns.
It also ordered them to make a “commitment to try harder” if they made mistakes about patients’ preferred pronouns.
Victoria Atkins, Health Secretary
“I am crystal clear: biological sex matters, and the language used by the NHS needs to recognise the different biological needs of men and women,”
“Illnesses and conditions that we know impact men and women differently should be communicated in a clear and accurate way.
“NHS staff must be allowed to get on with the job of caring for patients, not tiptoeing around trans guidance.
“the Government’s proposed update to the NHS constitution makes clear what patients can expect from NHS services in meeting their needs, including the biological needs of the sexes.”
Miriam Cates, MP and women’s rights campaigner
“Lewisham and Greenwich NHS Trust seems to have gone through the looking glass into a world where biological sex doesn’t exist,
and where the safety and dignity of vulnerable patients is ignored in the interests of being seen to adhere to a ridiculous ideology.
“It is shocking that an organisation dedicated to evidence-based practice can be so blind to the reality of the differences between men and women.”
Baroness Nicholson
“This NHS trust seems to be deliberately ignoring the Health Secretary whose guidance declares that sex overrules gender in all medical matters,”
“The NHS seems determined to follow its own unscientifically proven agenda; does this trust not recognise that male and female health profoundly differs?
And that calling a man ‘her’ may so easily result in a nurse handing out the wrong medicines for the patient’s condition?”

The ovaries produce an egg each month in women of childbearing age.
Around 7,500 women are diagnosed with ovarian cancer in the UK each year.
This makes ovarian cancer the 6th most common cancer in women.
Causes of death
https://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulationandcommunity/healthandsocialcare/causesofdeath/articles/leadingcausesofdeathuk/2001to2018
The leading cause of death in the UK in 2018 was dementia and Alzheimer disease, accounting for 12.7% of all deaths registered.
In 2008, the leading cause of death for females aged 50 to 64 years changed from malignant neoplasm of breast to malignant neoplasm of trachea, bronchus and lung, which accounted for 10.1% of deaths for this age group in 2018.
From 2001 to 2018, suicide and injury or poisoning of undetermined intent was the leading cause of death for both males and females aged 20 to 34 years in the UK, for all years observed,

DEFEATED! WHO Director-General admits defeat on the WHO Pandemic Agreement.
After more than two years of negotiations, member states have failed to come up with a final draft, which—it was hoped—would be agreed upon at the 77th World Health Assembly, starting today.
Dr Bret Weinstein-
We have won a decisive victory against tyranny at global scale. The failure of the WHO Pandemic Treaty is a clear defeat for Goliath, and a demonstration of David’s true power. Congratulations to all involved, and to every free person! Now let’s finish the job.

Sen Gerard Rennick: People who can afford to pay people smugglers are not refugees
Recently the Greens moved a motion in the Senate arguing Australia doesn’t do enough for refugees.
Australia has a very generous refugee policy accepting 20,000 refugees a year. It’s much higher than other First world countries, based on population.
It’s even more generous based on our incredibly high immigration rate that is turning Australians into refugees in their own country.
And I quote:
“We don't need statisticians to tell us Australia has a population problem.
Just drive across any major city where clogged roads, ramped hospitals and crowded shopping centres are testament to successive governments' failures to address what will soon be Australia's No.1 issue.
The figures are mind-blowing. After years of an already-generous immigration intake of around 190,000 per annum, the current federal government permitted 923,000 new migrants to call Australia home over the past two years, with 550,000 last year alone.
That's a 3 per cent population increase when 2 per cent is a global red flag.
Worryingly, Brisbane's population grew by a staggering 3.1 per cent last year. Can't find an affordable home to buy or rent? Can't find a parking space? Longer commutes to and from work? Now you know why.”

Dark money funding protests against America and Israel and shutting down education
Thread 🧵 👇 Who are the Students for Justice in Palestine?
Maher Bitar was the president of the radical extremist organization SJP (Students for Justice in Palestine) at Georgetown University.
Bitar was appointed- POTUS Biden’s Special Asst & Sr Dir of Intel Programs on National Security Council
* Obama alumn; Palestinian
Bihar was a legal rep for Rep Adam Schiff; worked with UN Relief & Works Agency (UNRWA) in Jerusalem, funding Hamas
Anti-Israel protests nationwide fueled by left-wing groups backed by Soros, Rockefeller et. al.
- “Soros' foundation gave $700K, Rockefeller foundation gave $500K. There is a lot of ‘dark money’ funding this.” - William La Jeunesse
Progressive anti-Israel agitators across the country, including those who mobilized at New York City’s Columbia University, are associated with groups tied to far-left groups with radical associations backed by dark money and liberal mega-donor George Soros.
National Students for Justice in Palestine (NSJP), a national organization affiliated with around 200 independent chapters, has had a vocal presence at Columbia University in recent days and at one point said it had walked away from talks with school leaders until administrators pledge not to have them arrested or forcefully removed from their encampment on the Ivy League institution's West Lawn.
NSJP operates under Westchester Peace Action Committee Foundation (WESPAC), a fiscal sponsor, whom Fox News Digital previously reported received a six-figure donation from a nonprofit bankrolled by the George Soros network. WESPAC, whose funding is largely unknown, has espoused anti-israel rhetoric for years, including accusing the government of "apartheid," "ethnic cleansing," "collective punishment" and "war crimes," according to NGO Monitor.
NSJP regularly compares Israel’s treatment of Palestinians to Nazi Germany and the Jim Crow era in the United States, accuses Israel of genocide, and has routinely promoted Hamas propaganda since the October 7 attack.
"Since October 7th, SJP has been extremely aggressive on far too many campuses in threatening ways, including the use of violent, genocidal rally calls which include 'from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free,' 'Globalize the Intifada,' and 'there is only one solution, Intifada revolution,'" StandWithUs CEO Roz Rothstein told Fox News Digital about the group last year after it was suspended by Rutgers University for anti-Israel provocations.
"It is therefore no surprise that increasing numbers of universities are making the decision to suspend a student group that combines violent rhetoric with violations of university policies, threatening Jewish students on campus."
Days after the Hamas terrorist attack on Israel, SJP released a statement calling the carnage a "historic win for the Palestinian resistance" and claimed, "This is what it means to Free Palestine: not just slogans and rallies, but armed confrontation with the oppressors."
NSJP’s founder, Hatem Bazian, has a long history of controversial antisemitic statements that include calling for an "intifada" in the United States, defending Hamas on social media, and supporting the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement and Israel divestment, Canary Mission reported.
Video circulating on social media in recent days shows Bazian on the campus of UC Berkeley the day after the October 7 massacre egging on a crowd and seemingly celebrating the attack.
Bazian — who has donated thousands of dollars to Reps. Summer Lee, D-Pa.; Barbara Lee, D-Calif.; and Ilhan Omar, D-Minn. — is currently listed as a lecturer at UC Berkeley's Department of Ethnic Studies.
He also has ties to "Squad" Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., who was the "guest of honor" at AMP's annual convention in December 2019 and months earlier in July delivered a briefing organized by AMP to over 70 people. The Michigan Democrat also addressed AMP's Palestine Advocacy Day delegates in April of 2019.
In addition to Columbia, NSJP has been protesting and setting up encampments at other universities across the country, including UCLA and USC in California and at the University of Texas in Austin, where over 50 people were arrested this week.
Another group active at Columbia, Jewish Voice for Peace, has brought in at least $650,000 from Soros-linked groups since 2016.
JVP has also taken in hundreds of thousands from the billionaire-fueled Rockefeller Fund, which is boosted by millions of dollars from a dark money funding network.
Influence Watch describes the group as "a left-wing, nominally Jewish group that opposes U.S. assistance to the state of Israel and supports allowing Palestinians to live on land within Israel vacated by Arabs during the Israeli War of Independence."
The group released a statement this week condemning violence and blaming the university for the unrest and for failing to protect Palestinian students.
Fox News Digital reported that JVP was also active at the University of Michigan this week, passing out pamphlets at a tent encampment that contained the phrase "Death to America, among other inflammatory phrases.
Another Soros-backed group, U.S. Campaign for Palestinian Rights, has paid what it calls "fellows" to organize and attend anti-Israel protests across the country, New York Post reported.
"The Open Society Foundations has a long history of fighting antisemitism, Islamophobia and all forms of racism and hate," a spokesperson for George Soros' Open Society Foundations told Fox News Digital.
"Open Society has funded a broad spectrum of US groups that have advocated for the rights of Palestinians and Israelis and for peaceful resolution to the conflict in Israel and the OPT. This funding is a matter of public record, disclosed on our website, fully compliant with US laws, and is part of our commitment to continuing open debate that is ultimately the only hope for peace in the region. The Open Society Foundations proudly support the right of all citizens to peaceful protest — a bedrock principle of our democracy."

College campuses across the country, including our most elite institutions, have been run amuck with protests led by pro-Hamas student orgs and outside agitators. It has become more apparent than ever that there is a growing hate movement not only for Jews and the state of Israel but for America, our culture, and principles.
