    Thanks to all who came out to our event in NYC last night. It was fun.https://twitter.com/medicalslang/status/952546418593554432 …

    Mick @MedicalSlang
    @SamHarrisOrg @LKrauss1 @Matt_Dillahunty Awesome event last night. The exchange of the evening came when Matt was trying to distill Sam's position on consciousness and the notion of self: Matt: It's like Descartes' "I think, therefore I am." Sam: Yeah, except for the "I" part. pic.twitter.com/eiL7ff08fl

        I enjoyed Sam's smackdown of @LKrauss1 comments on free will. It was an excellent conversation overall though way too short. These things should be 3 hours.

        You used scientific and philosophical terms you didn't bother to define for the rest of us. It was like the audience wasn't even there - out of sight, out of mind. My money back?

        1/2 The podcasts take too long if he has to define all prerequisite material. One of the reasons his podcast is my favourite is because he doesn't spend too much time on that, which lets him get to the serious questions. Normally, people get stuck in the basics too much.

        2/2 It's easy enough to look up terminology after the fact. I assume there will be a podcast released too. I just really hope that Sam doesn't sacrifice talking about the serious stuff to cover certain information that is already covered plentifully. New content = good!

        Went off the rails a bit, which quickly absorbed the hour. Also only 3 questions were taken due to a little lack of discipline in brevity and steering of conversation. I enjoyed it - but you should think about a 2 hour discussion followed by an hour of q&a. I'm glad I went though

        FYI, you didn't properly respond to the person-ahead-of-me's question comparing pain to free will. He was arguing that just as consciousness (pain) is inexplicable, and yet it exists, so too free will MIGHT exist. Your response that pain surely exists doesn't vitiate the analogy.

        I think you might not get his stance on that. Or maybe I still don't get yours. I can't seem to think of that in a way that is not a false analogy... Pain is a real physiological thing; not mysterious at all to a neuroscientist. Free will is a completely different conversation.

        Curious, what led you away from Mormonism?

        Replying to @AreRoster @SamHarrisOrg

        It was a mental shift. I had to believe impossible things to be a mormon. That involved maintaining a certain head space. I always took it as an axiom that the church was true in my thinking. I got out by removing that axiom in my thought process, and looking at things fresh.

        It was very hard. I could only do it because part of my family was leaving, and I had to assume their state of mind and prove it was true from their perspectives to save their souls. Turns out that I was the one who was wrong.

        It took me years of contemplation to grasp that there is no central “self/I” (or free will) and it can be challenging to break through such illusions in any given moment; so I am sympathetic with smart people (@Matt_Dillahunty) who may strongly feel that the illusions are real.
