But Harris is the only one who uses Buddhist practices and claims he’s taken the BS out of it. In reality he’s worse because he still pretends he’s a guru even though there’s no tradition to back him. Self-appointed gurus who claim not to be are often the worst. The possibility that he’s doing harm doesn’t occur to him because he’s so arrogant.
