@AMpufn The Dalai Lama, (the tradition through which he attained his position), claims he is:
1.holy
2.reincarnated
3.descended from, and the earthly manifestation of, a monkey deity who sired the original Tibetans.
4.found with help of visions from a sacred lake guarded by a female spirit.
You'll never hear Harris call the Lama out on this BS i.e. he cuts him undeserved slack while knowing better i.e he got co opted into the same celebrity sycophancy
as all other Lama lovers.

@fctchk I agree, how/where did he fool Sam Harris though? Or you're referencing that Harris used to meditate with monks a decade or two ago? I think he was just trying to show respect for and learn from the less dangerous forms of feel-good bullshit. But I can't speak for him.
-
@AMpufnstuf Well observed; in fact Gyatso's bullshit or that, as big or even bigger, which surrounds him, even managed to put one over on none other than Sam Harris. I'm afraid that, though I share your hope for sarcasm here, its likelihood here is slim.
Perhaps we can find solace in that Herzog most likely is just using it as a stock salutation such as Your Excellency or Your Honor rather than attributing any holiness to the reincarnation of the manifestation of the monkey god.

heh, dalailama didnt get the joke :P

I'm a big fan of Herzog but I would hope that "your holiness" was sarcastic. The Dalai Lama is a marketing king with a twitter account, who also spews a lot of bullshit including a bit loved by superstitious christian idiots: "Love your enemies".

The DL is a socialist?

@nowaiii1 hahahahahah you sound so fucking ignorant it is hilarious
-
@ThomasRowsell I have see tons of interviews where he seems humble. Do you know him personally or have you seen his arrogant ways first hand?
