As a Jamaican, I'm just appreciating his comment re beef patties :).

Some god-awful opsec in there. The list was literally indexed by Google.

Sounds like Hell

Did you see much about how his name is tied to it? I wonder in which capacity he intended to be involved and why.

He has been associated with other things in the past, only to discover later that he was in a list of people who declined to participate or something.

I'm not sure I'd put it past him, regardless. I like some of his ideas quite a bit, but in one of his favourite phrases, there's a lot of daylight between us on some topics.

I'd argue Sam Harris' content was mostly political masquerading as philosophy. Most of his criticisms were very concentrated toward one group, and due to that, he has put himself into a corner.

For example, when he's been asked about Israel being a 'promised land', as an atheist to agree with that and to overlook the atrocities it took/takes to achieve that, is pretty hypocritical.
