Making Sense with Sam Harris
Join neuroscientist, philosopher, and five-time New York Times best-selling author Sam Harris as he explores important and controversial questions about the mind, society, current events, moral philosophy, religion, and rationality—with an overarching focus on how a growing understanding of ourselves and the world is changing our sense of how we should live. Sam is also the creator of the Waking Up app. Combining Sam’s decades of mindfulness practice, profound wisdom from varied philosophical and contemplative traditions, and a commitment to a secular, scientific worldview, Waking Up is a resource for anyone interested in living a more examined, fulfilling life—and a new operating system for the mind. Waking Up offers free subscriptions to anyone who can’t afford one, and donates a minimum of 10% of profits to the most effective charities around the world. To learn more, please go to WakingUp.com. Sam Harris received a degree in philosophy from Stanford University and a Ph.D. in neuroscience from UCLA.

What a mess. I know this is Sam's experiment. It failed miserably. However, it will not be put to total waste if Sam learns to pick the guests carefully next time. It is really frustrating to hear really defensive, and totally unresponsive answers to simple questions. What really got to me is the fact that is was obvious Omer had a view of Sam NOT from reading Sam's books but instead from snippets all over the internet. Sad, indeed. At the very least, Omer, please read Sam's books. And to Sam, you have to pick your guests carefully. Not all are willing to converse and exchange ideas. Most are just looking for a debate and to win at all costs. That's not how intellectual progress is made. But again, I know this was an experiment. I suppose next time, it'll be better.
