Sam Harris revisits the central argument he made in his book, The Moral Landscape, about the reality of moral truth. He discusses the way concepts like “good” and “evil” can be thought about objectively, the primacy of our intuitions of truth and falsity, and the unity of knowledge.

I feel like this will receive widespread appreciation in 50 years. Maybe much longer. Most people aren't ready to even speak the language of incompatibalism and secular objective morality.

Essentially a final resonse to Alex O Connor? Absolutely love this, wish he would talk more philosophy these days.

I end all these conversations in about 10 seconds by pointing out that moral relativism has no way to condemn slavery or genocide.

This seems to be the result of Sam's conversation with Alex Oconnor. Should check it out as well.

Sam’s most important work: structuring secular ethics in REAL epistemic bedrock.

This piece reminds me why you're not merely the only real intellectual out of the whole pop intellectual group, but a great thinker over all.

For some reason, I get the vibe that some recognized "thinkers" simply are afraid to deal with such a difficult topic. And by "difficult", I don't mean the number of brain cells. I'm talking about hurting feelings and taking a stance. I think Sam has made a very cogent argument and a lot of good can come of working towards a scientific approach to morality. Some of the resistance sounds very much like the arguments made in the past when groundbreaking advancements in science were initially presented.

That vanilla taste deficiency analogy was a gem. And i wish we'd start calling it well-doing, seems to have more access to power.

Sounds like defining your premises in unusual language in order to obtain the conclusions you want in common language.

He needs to explain this in a whiteboard with apples and oranges

After reading the Moral Landscape I was impressed but unconvinced. It seemed like yet another value framework that was ultimately without foundation. I felt like he handwaved the Is/Ought gap. But I really appreciated his discussion on the topic with Alex O'Connor. Alex questioned and deconstructed Sam's moral realism with more skill and subtly than I've seen in Sam's interlocutors. As a result, he was able to offer the most robust arguments in its favor, which it seems are distilled in this recording. Great work.

Does anyone know if Sam Harris has said anything about the passing of Dan Dennet?

A good quality vanilla ice cream with a quality caramel sauce is perfection...

Ooops ! surely I was the only one foolish enough to attempt to enjoy some ice cream, while listening to Sam describe my moral terrain.

I was skeptical about some of those, but the last five minutes or so is hot fire.

Is consciousness itself objectively measurable? We can connect it to brain activity, which can be measured objectively, but the experience itself is immeasurable.

What worries me about integrating this philosophy is that it takes out the human element in my life that makes humans imperfect. And I feel like when trying to implement this philosophy in life or society there seems to be no end to the project of perfection. Also, it makes me feel like a robot whose actions and thoughts are constantly being analzyed. It takes out the sponaneity in life. But idk maybe I'm wrong.
