@SamHarrisOrg Is not irrationality part of the "IS" in which we all reside? -
@VirtuetVeritas But it's only with respect to what IS that we judge it to be irrational. -
@SamHarrisOrg Is it a rational act to emotionally manipulate the irrational for one's own benefit?

@SamHarrisOrg Are u sure that values are natural phenomena? I think they are constructed in reason, like e.g. "justice" & cannot be observed -
@jmorika "Natural" (as in dependent upon the experiences that are possible in this universe), not necessarily "evolved." -
@SamHarrisOrg But u seem to place "values" somewhere within metaphysical realism. I dont see how that is possible. http://plato.stanford.edu/entries/realism-sem-challenge/ …
