        @EL_wordo @SamHarrisOrg @nntaleb I enjoyed the part where he claims the Enlightenment was a mistake because knowledge makes us arrogant.

        @GideonJagged @SamHarrisOrg @nntaleb I'm willing to accept that cos he seems like a global expert on arrogance.

        @SamHarrisOrg @nntaleb Just read the paper ... no theoretical proof, neither any empirical results. Assumptions = conclusions ?

        @SamHarrisOrg By Read & @nntaleb 's argument we should keep slavery too; living w/o it is new and a "dangerous uncontrolled experiment".

        @SamHarrisOrg instead of black swans, religion should be considered using black unicorns.

        @SamHarrisOrg @nntaleb But both are equally vacuous exercises in sophistry. Read in 5 pages why only religion can save us from modernity.
