    Among the many reasons I like the new Web site of @samharrisorg is that it features one of my photographs.https://samharris.org/we-have-a-new-website/ …

        Yes and I like your photos too. And wonder why. Is it because cognitive scientists understand more about human perception? Or is it simply years of practice? Or is it just taking millions of random shots with eyes shut, and ruthlessly weeding out the bad or average ones?!

        And with the horizon that close, the earth would have been the size of the moon. Nice picture though.

        Sam, when will you have Steve on your podcast? I’ve been boycotting the podcast for a few years until you have him on there!
