        I said to the first atheist I met. Denying the existence of God is indeed ridiculous.

        Congrats, but your quote about reason being a matter of faith is idiotic. Whoever said that simply does not understand the definitions nor the applications of the terms. Facts exist. Reality is happening, whether or not we believe it.

        Saying something doesn't make it true. You obviously haven't studied philosophy enough. Big guys in philosophy have all admitted that they can't solve the problem of solipsism and you think you can solve it by asserting a bunch of statements lol. Time to read a book buddy...

        Philosophy often degenerates into absurdity at some point. Some people build a belief system around that. Others just skip straight to absurdity and embrace religion.

        Philosophy without God is dead. You can indeed choose absurdity over God and I respect your right to do that.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZqNTT0E_T70 …

        You gave Niall Ferguson a platform, never questioned his shadiness, and promoted him multiple times. Care to correct the records & apologize to your listeners for spreading mis-info? You apologized to the racist Stefan Moly for nothing!!https://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/2018/6/1/17417042/niall-ferguson-stanford-emails?utm_campaign=zackbeauchamp&utm_content=chorus&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter …

        From article: "The whole saga is deeply strange — and revealing. It illustrates a profound double game underpinning much of the so-called “free speech” controversy: a controversy that often isn’t really about freedom and is more concerned with power than with speech."

        @SamHarrisOrg When I think of this battle between Bohr and Einstein, and I think of our inability to describe the “spooky action at a distance,” I also think of your recent post about Don Hoffman’s “head-spinning take on the true nature of reality.”

        My instinct says there’s a limitation in our perception that is preventing us from seeing the causality that Einstein believed exists. I will buy this book, looks great. Another good one was “Quantum: Einstein, Bohr, and the Great Debate about the Nature of Reality”

        Some good gems in this review, e.g. "It might better be called the where-in-the-theory-is-the-world-we-live-in problem." and "Einstein was the great anti-positivist. His position is often called realism, but a better name is perhaps common sense." 😂

        It is paramount to the sustenance of altruistic righteousness that we not detract from the purity of literacy insomuch as we admit that any/every reason is reasonable and so the word “reason” is being hypocritically abused in your references to it as being such a specific thing.

        Difficult, yet amazing read. I fear it's message is too complex to be understood by laymen though.

        Sam Harris must be finally addressing the Far Rights history of ignoring reality from Climate Change to the dangers of income inequality that is waging a war on a free & open Republic.
