Resurrecting this old post becase... Stef gets talked about again! in #93 this time with Douglas Murray... too busy to transcribe... but the gist is this time... Stef is just too close of a jump to people who are "actually" racists.... https://www.samharris.org/podcast/item/identity-terror

Tried to transcribe as best I could. @31:09 ... I am contaminated by this with respect to other people. So you know that I see that "Oh you gotta have Stephan Molyneux on your podcast" right. And so I take a look at what he's been sayin' and what's being said about him and I think "I don't have the time to figure out whether this guy is a racist crackpot". .... @35:15 ... What I'm picturing here is talking to someone who you really should challenge on specific points because they have said crazy decisive irrational things in the past, but they're just not saying them on your show. So you get them there and it turns out this person's a grand dragon in the KKK but you don't that and you're talkin' about racial differences in IQ or something in a good nature academic way and you don't realize that this person's interest in the topic is just the tip of the iceberg. ... I don't know, I think this is exhausting.

It's been awhile but I've heard Stefan discuss why original sin is, in my own words, bad or evil in itself. In an email thread I would like to break this down/provide some solid reasons. What I can rattle off from the top of my head doesn't really feel coherent to me when I write it down. Perhaps, it's just that this idea is preposterous or illogical to me, or maybe it's just that my argumentation muscles are more or less atrophied? Perhaps some sentence completion: Original sin is _____ because _____ evil, ???; a means to control the masses, give a priest some money and they can "absolve you" or your "sin" ... a way of collecting money from believers; manipulative, telling someone that they are intrinsically evil fills them with shame; deterministic, you're bad because you were built to be bad?; 10 minutes on sentence completion hasn't gotten me far.

It works now, thank you!
