@damo Sam Harrris battling through this at the moment eh Damo?
Is he? I haven't read any Sam Harris for years. What is he saying these days?
I felt he went off the deep end a few years ago with some of his anti-islamic rhetoric so I stopped paying attention to him. I think he was the weakest of the four horsemen.

@damo podcasting about his and Charles Murray reputations being besmirched. Mostly sticking up for objective and fact based discourse.
I do like his tenacity in exposing identity politics, and his religion denouncement can become staid but he generally talks good sense -
@damo Thats interesting, I'll gave to look into the Flynn effect. I'm only partially aware of the bell curve mainly through Harris's recent interactions with Murray as well as through some of Stefan Molyneux's videos. Plan to read Murray's book at some point this year, the violent reaction to academic research however does concern me especially when people go down the 'facts are racist' route.
My point here is similar but from a different point of view. As Folau can't prove he is correct, especially to those who don't believe in heaven/hell it is then far easier to ignore him and claim he is just another 'crazy' christian just as you would a screaming homeless man with a 'hail the apocalypse' sign. Facts, figures and analysis are much harder to deal with.... but anyway I think we've trailed waaaaay off the aussie rugby subject..
Tah's going well, where's that bloke who used to always say 'this is our year' before disappearing from the forum at the later stages of the comp?

We might be off topic, but surely it's better than discussing the actual state of Aussie rugby. That's just too depressing a subject at the moment.

Would you call it an upset if the Jaguares beat the Brumbies? Still 20 minutes to go, but at the moment it's Brumbies 10 - 20 Jaguares.
It’d be funny, at least
