'How the Discovery of Consciousness has Changed Me' | Sam Harris | Insights at the Edge Podcast Clip

“It’s just given a totally different perspective on the deepest questions of how to be happy in this world.” ~ Dr. Sam Harris ✨

Join Tami Simon and renowned neuroscientist, philosopher, and author Sam Harris for a thought-provoking conversation on consciousness, the nature of the mind, and more. Harris' work spans a wide range of topics, including neuroscience, moral philosophy, religion, meditation, political polarization, and rationality, all centered around how our growing understanding of ourselves and the world is changing our sense of how we should live.

In 2006 ‘The End of Faith’ had a great influence on me and Harris continues to guide us past the illusions and misinformation that intoxicate the masses.

You and Sam should consider a marathon discussion

[TerriblePerfection]

I see Sam Harris, I don't click. 😂

[tomgreene]

How does he know he has a conscience ...perhaps its an illusion ?

[drewc]

I used to love Sam then his unabashed Zionism and Islamophobia turned me off

[MaximusPeperkamp]

There is no inner language Sam, so there is nothing to unlock other than your way of talking

[hoseinayan]

I hope one day Sam will convert to Islam and get out of the way

Whatever you think you experienced...until and unless it can be reproduced in others by the same method or procedure ..it need not be taken seriously... I personally do not believe in your experiences because to me it looks like you were and are delusional...

How do we know something is true or when can a thing said to be true until n unless we can experience it at will!!?
