I admit to being a Harris fanboy. Tongue
Just offhand, how about his moral egoism, for one, that what's right is what in one's self-interest . . . ? . . . Which led to his master-slave morality, where it is the master's obligation to command and the slave's obligation to obey. I would say that isn't really the ideal, i.e. what we should encourage others to strive towards, regardless if that is the nature of the world, the herd, etc. Or, his Will to Power, and that all action is borne out of a thirst for --- and ought to be done as an exercise of --- greatness and nobility, and never out of pity for the plight of others . . . seemed to me to be a little unsympathetic.
He also implicitly suggested some degree of belief in the Eurabia conspiracy theory (that the sole purpose of muslim immigrants entering Europe is to conquer the territory and impose Sharia Law), which is a big letdown for someone who appears so "smart".
Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you
