        @bryangoodrich The mind is also part of the universe (last I looked). All possible states of well-being arise out of it.

        @bryangoodrich Another option: It is conceptually irreducible and scientifically indispensable (for understanding the mind).

        @bryangoodrich If I may ask. your "conceptually irreducible things", are they close to "archetypes" in your dictionary? @SamHarrisOrg

        @SamHarrisOrg I've always been puzzled, Sam, why you don't go full Pragmatist. Seems like it would cohere better

        @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/ …
