He is in such a higher intellectual class, at least publicly, than Dawkins and Harris (though I love listening and reading both of them too).
ReplyDeleteHe's extremely smart, but I don't think you can say he's "in a higher intellectual class" than Dawkins and Harris. He speaks very eloquently, but I don't think what he's saying is neccessarily more deep or intellectual than Dawkins or Harris. Not that it would matter.
ReplyDeleteHe is a master speaker for sure, but I'm not sure it speaks so much necessarily for intellect. Many politicians are good speakers as well but not very bright.
