You were one of the early voices warning about the incompatibility of Islam and Western civilisation. U.K. is probably past the point of no return from significant Islamic influence given the demographic change. America has just elected its first Muslim senator. How do you see this particular issue playing out in the US in the future?
One of your key concerns with Trump was that he would refuse to cede power in 2028. Given the midterm results, is it fair to estimate the likelihood of this event as less than 0.01%? If not, what set of circumstances would make it more likely - declaration of emergency powers as a result of a never-ending war with Iran?
Sam you've always been a very brave critic of Islam as an especially dangerous religion whilst also being a very reasoned opponent of populism, particularly MAGA.
That makes me wonder if you were European how would you vote? For all their failings could you ever bring yourself to vote for populists like Le Pen or the AfD who may be right about Islam but wrong about almost everything else?
The DSA, whose stated goals include dismantling the foundations of our democracy (the Constitution, the Senate, our economic system), may soon be running America's two largest cities and our capital, and holds a growing number of seats in the federal government.
On a scale of 1 to 10, how concerned should we be, not just about the DSA itself, but about the fact that millions of people are voting for its candidates?
How do you think the Muslim world will deal with A.I. and its future supremacy, haram or learn to use it, and what do you suppose A.I. will think of Islam and Muslims, and what advice might it give the West re that faith?
You've always maintained that trump is a bridge you won't cross. But let's look forward to 2028 and assume the field will look something like: Newsom, el sayed and AOC on the left vs jd, DeSantis and Rubio on the right
Do you believe that any of those options are as fundamentally unacceptable as you view trump? Do you have a preferred candidate on any side of the aisle?
As technology aids or replaces jobs higher up the skill ladder (from washing dishes to editing legal documents, for example) more people with higher IQs drop off the employment map, or at least struggle to keep up.
Do you see this as a long-term disruption that we aren't talking about?
How do you expect the Democrat party to govern considering the number of DSA and DSA aligned Members in their midst? Do they have real answers to issues like Iran, Ukraine, and the economy? Or are they the dog that finally caught the car?
Sam, you’ve argued that consciousness is the foundation of moral concern. If an AI eventually claims to be conscious, behaves as though it has subjective experiences, and even appears capable of suffering, how could we ever determine whether there is actually someone home? And if we cannot know for certain, at what point does our uncertainty become a moral responsibility?
Not sure if Sam saw a video with an undercover reporter and Gavin Newsom in which he said that the DSA will be a major player in the 2028 election. How worried is Sam about the DSA?

You mentioned in your last Q&A on Making Sense that you’re writing a book. What’s it about?

What exactly is the Muslim Brotherhood and should I be as afraid of it as I currently feel?

Hi Sam do you recognise the left wing tyrannical tendency in your own thinking ?
