consider becoming one,welcome to the making sense podcast this,is Sam Harris,okay the end of the year is upon us,I'm going to talk a little bit about,Twitter and Elon,and Free Speech here,the end of my year was marked by among,other things my deleting my Twitter,account,which has been surprisingly significant,I've talked about this a little bit on,the podcast and,on other people's podcasts but um it was,uh really like leaving a bad,relationship,and psychologically it was a pretty,interesting thing to do,but um Twitter has been everywhere I'm,still seeing the signs of its chaos,everywhere in the Press,so I feel like I should take a few,minutes to reflect on what I think is,happening there and how it relates to,what's happening in American society,generally,my Twitter is in many ways the seat of,our societal dysfunction,social media is surely the seat of that,dysfunction,but Twitter in particular because,journalists and politicians appear,immovably anchored to it,but as I'm going to say a few things,about Elon let me just confess my,uncertainty about doing this,as I've said or implied before Elon has,been a friend,I'm not sure what the status of that,friendship is now frankly,and that has a lot to do with Twitter,and I've had to confront this problem,before I've had many friends and now,former friends who have large public,platforms and who have said and done,things in public over the years that I,have found,fairly reprehensible,and have had to figure out whether to,say something about that,and I'm still uncertain about the ethics,of all of this,I don't know what having a friendship or,a form of friendship should count for at,moments like this my default is,certainly to more carefully calibrate,what I say or even whether I say,anything at all in these cases whereas,if it's a stranger out there doing the,analogous thing I'll say something,without much reflection about that and,I'm not sure which way the balance,should swing,should I be treating strangers more like,friends should I be treating friends and,former friends more like strangers,I honestly don't know what the answer is,but um in the case of Elon he's taking,up so much bandwidth culturally that uh,I feel like I have to say something,I just wouldn't be doing my job if I,didn't comment on what he's doing over,there at Twitter,so for better or worse I'm going to do,that now,first the underlying politics of the,moment,in my view there's a needle you really,had to thread,over the last half decade or so,if you're going to be politically honest,and ethically sane,and not that many people Managed IT,on the one side you had to recognize how,bad Trump was and is,not just as a person but as a cultural,phenomenon,you had to see how appalling it was that,we elected such a person to the,presidency,and then you had to be further appalled,when we almost did it again even while,he was disavowing and openly violating,the most sacred principle of our,democracy,a commitment to the peaceful transfer of,power,his behavior before during and after the,events of January 6th amounted to a,direct attack on the rule of law in this,country,this was the first time in our history,that a president has sought to hold on,to power in this way,it was absolutely obvious at the time,but it has only become more obvious on,the basis of subsequent investigations,that Trump knew he lost the 2020,election,and he put our democracy at risk by,attempting to hold on to Power by,perpetrating a conscious fraud of,election denial,and among other things attempting to,force his vice president Mike Pence to,overturn the results of the election on,January 6th,the real Trump derangement syndrome,was not to have seen how bad all this,was,indeed to not have seen how demonic,trumpism was and is in its cultic,Embrace of one man's mediocrity and,mendacity and narcissism,I mean it is just astounding that a,person like Trump got anywhere near the,Oval Office,to have missed that and to have thought,all the concern about Trump was,exaggerated that it was just ordinary,partisan politics,that was in my view the greatest,political mistake anyone could have made,in my lifetime,okay and if you made that mistake,if you persist in that mistake even now,well then everything I've said on the,subject must seem like some bewildering,form of performance art,on the other side you also had to see,that many important respects the left,and therefor
