Somewhat relevant to this thread.
This is a parable of the arrogant intellectual who has rationalized himself into a bottomless pit.
A little preface: the following is an interview with Sam Harris, he's a neuroscientist, and considered a luminary in the atheist-moralist realm, and he's known for a few other things as well, some books, podcasts, and a fervent lefty. Well, in this interview he completely and utterly outs himself as a totalitarian moral relativist, destroy freedoms, and democracy for democracy sake? It's a really fascinating look into TDS and how crippling it's been for individuals, American culture, and the country as a whole.
Things get interesting at the 15 minute mark and really crazy around 35:00, and just ramps up and up from here. It's great insight as to why people are willing to let the country burn just to spite a Trump presidency. It really is bananas!
