I finished Sam Harris' new book, and am up for discussing any parts of it with people here who have also read the book. It should go without saying that in addition to the folks whose posts I never read period (none of whom are likely to have the attention span or humility to read this book anyway), I will engage with no one who hasn't "done the homework" of actually having read the book. But it's a good book IMO, and opens up many questions for discussion, among people open to actually learning new things. OMG, who would want to engage with someone like this? Can you imagine running into someone at a friend's house who begins a conversation like this? bawee, go to hell, you are such an arrogant, obnoxious bastard. There, is that engaging enough for you?
