RE: [FairfieldLife] Re: To Curtis - Sam Harris

Talk of Sam Harris brings me out of the FFL shadows.  

 Harris is, in my view, one of the clearest and boldest thinkers in the world 
today.  One may disagree with any number of his positions (that radical Islam 
presents a dire threat to the world, that free will is an illusion, that 
science can guide our moral decisions) but the intelligence and power with 
which he expresses himself is stunning.  The surprising twist that this 
committed atheist and materialist is fascinated by the value that meditation 
can provide makes him all the more interesting.  Go for it, Rick!
