Ben Shapiro vs Sam Harris

Looking forward to this debate coming up. It's gonna be epic. 😎

It'll be interesting, what date is it on?

I feel like Sam is probably the more intelligent of the two, but Ben is a far better debater.

I can't find the date. All I know is that Ben claims he is due to appear on one of Sam's upcoming podcast. And I agree on your assessment: Sam probably has the edge in intelligence, but Ben is a master of reductio ad absurdum and seems able to do it on the spot to any argument he is given. Should be interesting.

What are they going to be debating?

I love Sam Harris' podcast, so I'll keep an eye out for Ben Shapiro's appearance. I'm not entirely caught up to the present time on his podcasts, though.

DMB is gonna love it

Will there be chemotherapy treatment on site?

Ben Shapiro is a scrub

what will they be debating?

This is going to happen? Gonna look forward to it. I doubt it'll work well. Ben says like 80 words for each 10 of Sam's.

Sounds like a good match up. Way more even than Ben vs cenk.. or for that matter Sam Harris vs cenk.

From the lobby, I read this as "Ben Shapiro murders Sam Harris", and clicked to protest.

All the bad news lately must be getting to me.

Is this it? I haven't had a chance to listen to it yet, but I'll probably Podcast it at some point...

I think Ben does better when discussing politics in their talk and Sam does better on religion. Which of course makes sense consider who they both are. It's hard to win a debate in religion against Sam.

Sam is on a much higher level than Ben intellectually (whether it be due to ability or just a deeper mindset), though I'm not sure who is the better debater.

Sam is also brilliant in debates because he is so good at keeping his cool and dismantling arguments with reason instead of being louder or more obnoxious or whatever. His method of persuasion is based on pure, calm reason. No misleading tricks. So in my opinion he is also a superior debater. He also can occasionally strike some good dry humor in revealing truth which makes him even more appealing in a debate.

That being said, I still haven't listened to this yet. But I plan to.

But then Sam really doesn't go into the Lion's Den as much as Ben does. But this is all moot.

Who ever you agree with more is who will win in the eye of the viewer.

Both are shifty Jews, this is a setup.
