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.
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.
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.

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.
