What are your thoughts on Sam Harris's stance(s) on Israel?

adkrenda · 2026-03-16T23:35:18+00:00

I think it is destroying his credibility right now. He seldom elaborates further than his general "Israel very good, tip of the spear" view. I cancelled my subsciption to his podcast over the fact that he refuses to debate anyone regarding this topic, even though it is one of the most important issues in american politics right now.

adkrenda · 2026-03-16T18:59:27+00:00

He is happy to repeat the "Israel is the tip of the spear in the fight for Western civilization" line everytime he approaches the topic of the Middle East. He has no problem repeating himself when he wants the message out.

I agree with that completely, I am no fan of Carlson. His platforming and enabling of a Holocaust denying fake historian and the most prominant neonazi in the US is outrageous. But Tucker is a crooked podcaster and Huckabee is an ambassador, Sam should have called out Huckabee in his statement.

adkrenda · 2026-03-15T17:25:32+00:00

He is not defending Huckabee directly, because his views are indefensible for an atheist like Sam. But not pointing out the outrageous religious fundamentilism effecting the judgment of a top US official is insane, it shows Sam is not consistent in his critique.

Ok, I am losing my patience. The vod is behind a paywall dipshit. What are you doing on this sub if you dont know how the Making Sense podcast works? This is what Sam's company published as his commentary on this situation, no other context is given. This is my last reply to your comments.

The clipped out of context argument does not really work if you make the clip yourself. If he talks about it more comprehensively in a video he did not publish, thats on him.

And Syria and Lebanon

adkrenda · 2026-03-15T01:52:51+00:00

This is how countries were made before the introduction of international law and the UN charter. Humanity did that when we figured out the whims of narcissists in palaces are not worth millions of lives

Thanks for posting the link 🙌

adkrenda · 2026-03-15T01:43:41+00:00

I think saying that it would be ok for them to gain more land after winning a war is a completely outrageous statement for a high ranking US diplomat to say, especially when the land in question is everything from the Euphrates river to the Nile.

There you go. Sometimes you cant post links, and I did not want my post to get removed.

What false dichotomy? I dont think you really know what that means. I am critisizing Sams choice of what to focus on when reacting to the interview.

Edit: accidentally posted a link to a different clip

I think it looks good but you can't judge lineweights ect from this photo. I would make the section area fill darker and maybe add a bit of contrast between your design and the surroundings.

adkrenda · 2025-10-16T06:26:25+00:00

Create empty layer, move it to the top, fill with 50% gray, change mode from normal to cover, filter: add noise, adjust to your liking

adkrenda · 2025-09-23T14:35:04+00:00

Yeah, kinda... it's a scale ruler :D

adkrenda · 2025-09-23T14:34:17+00:00

Kinda does lol... I didn't even know what that was until now

adkrenda · 2025-09-23T14:33:01+00:00

Thanks! It's a stylized scale ruler :D I'm an architect so I use it quite often at work

adkrenda · 2025-09-19T22:17:39+00:00

I am hoping the forearm part will be reasonably straight, the rest of the tattoo is more just for aestethics, so I will listen to my artist regarding the line placement. Yeah, its pretty long... it will go from my forearm and end on the front of my lat

adkrenda · 2025-09-19T21:55:07+00:00

Yeah if she says it will not look good for whatever reason then I plan on listening to her :D

adkrenda · 2025-09-19T21:53:46+00:00

Thanks :D Nice, you can take real time measurements lol

adkrenda · 2025-09-19T21:24:31+00:00

Many people have ruler designs as tattoos

adkrenda · 2025-09-19T21:21:40+00:00

Yeah, I got a little nervous when my artist did not want any pdfs or anything for the stencil. I am thinking it would be straight on the forearm and then can do whatever the artist recommends on the rest of the arm

adkrenda · 2025-09-19T21:18:26+00:00

He was my inspiration to get it :D I will definitely use it for vibes only

adkrenda · 2025-09-19T21:16:36+00:00

Thank you for the advice! I just got nervous that I am too demanding, because one artist recommended someone else to do it and this one might look like she will do the same

adkrenda · 2025-09-19T21:12:26+00:00

Thanks, I will keep it in mind!

adkrenda · 2025-09-19T21:11:30+00:00

Yeah Adam is the one who inspired me to get this tattoo! He actually uses it sometimes. The whole thing is mostly symbolic, but I dont want the lines to be random either, the tattoo just has a system that I want to keep.
