We've arrived at the point where even #SamHarris gets the point (and that's usually a sign that it's quite late in the game):

Atheism is nothing more than the noises reasonable people make in the presence of unjustified religious beliefs.

Redeem: wakingup.com/redeem
This unlocks full access to the Waking Up app, including our:
* 28-day introductory course
* Robust library of guided meditations
* In-depth talks on philosophy, science, and more
* Conversations with leading scholars and teachers---
I haven't used it in a while, and I don't universally endorse the creator's views, but you might at least try it out. I find that I don't really need a guide to meditate anymore; tho I've never been particually successful at achieving one-ness or emptyness with or without a guide.

Jordan Peterson expects no standard of behavior from social media figures?! | @destiny

He seems to be the new Oprah Winfrey. Charismatic, likeable, but vacuous softball interviews constantly which end up elevating terrible people and spreading horrible misinformation.

Let me list the reasons I detest Substack. 1. You must sign up. 2. The publishers you want to follow have you with a different email. Your paid account for that author #Samharris is different from you substack account as well as all the others you follow because your smart enough to not use the same flipping email for all things. 3 spam you to follow others you for more people to follow. 4 no way to work around this without compromising my anti spam emails. F you substack and everyone who thinks its the answer.

To arrive where I started…
Whatever the origin of religion, it is so often present in our lives as a way to try to understand the ineffable; a way to give presence and weight to an experience that defies words; that takes place outside of thought and perception. What are we to do with such an experience – a thing commonly known as mystical, or numinous? It cannot be thought, or described, since it is entirely beyond the realm of cognition and language.
This was my own experience; as a young man – even as a child – I had been prone to experiences like this, for which I had no words, nor even a broad category or discipline to which to assign them. (The nearest I got to the feeling was reading about astronomy or zoology or meteorology – a sense that here was something in terms of which everything else made sense, rather than my trying to make sense of it.)
It wasn’t until I spent an extended period in hospital in my teens that I had the freedom to begin to explore; to realise that the natural direction of this condition of mind was philosophical, even metaphysical; and I was in my early twenties before it became clear that it was something I learned to call “spirituality”. When I began to discover that I was not alone in this, of course my fellow pilgrims were in general religious people, and so it seemed to me that these must be religious experiences. Despite my having early on read Jiddu Krishnamurti and Lao Tzu, it was all too easy to understand these experiences in terms of either Buddhism, or later, irresistibly, the Christian mystical tradition – which of course brought the whole complex machinery of faith clattering along with it.
Extraordinarily, despite my by then growing and scarcely repressed doubts, it took the enforced isolation of the recent pandemic, and the discovery of writers like Sam Harris and Susan Blackmore, finally to shake me loose; to let me realise that, as Harris points out so poignantly in the first chapter of Waking Up, “Either the contemplative literature is a catalogue of religious delusion, psychopathology, and deliberate fraud, or people have been having liberating insights under the name of ‘spirituality’ and ‘mysticism’ for millennia… there are deeper insights to be had about the nature of our minds. Unfortunately, they have been discussed entirely in the context of religion and, therefore, have been shrouded in fallacy and superstition for all of human history.” Somehow, I had to recapitulate this for myself; it often amazes me to realise that it took me the best part of my adult life “to arrive where [I] started, and know the place for the first time.”

The Trouble with Elon - Sam Harris

I didn’t set out to become an enemy of the world’s richest man, but I seem to have managed it all the same.

'Elon Musk's fallout with Sam Harris reveals a chaotic story of betrayal, misinformation, and ego. Once close friends, their relationship unraveled during the COVID pandemic when Musk ignored science and made a shocking $1 million wager against reality. From amplifying Pizzagate conspiracies to defaming Harris on Twitter, Musk’s behavior highlights his reckless addiction to attention and disregard for ethics.'

Difficult to find a fuck in my field of fucks over Sam Harris and Elon Musk having a falling out and why.

Ah so it looks like the ($83 million?!) house that burned down right next to Tom Hanks’ ($26 million?) house which survived in Palisades was owned by some “crypto billionaire” not #SamHarris whose house must be elsewhere nearby.

Doesn’t Sam Harris live on the same street as, if not right next to, Tom Hanks, up in the Riviera section of Pacific Palisades? Is that Harris’ house gone in the picture? I do not know for sure, just asking.

@gimulnautti don't worry, i've been reading a lot of #RichardDawkins and #SamHarris and they've convinced me that Europe, due its superior moral culture and the influence of Christianity, has turned a corner and will not descend into barbarism again. Likewise #StevenPinker concludes the same, but credits Europe's wonderful liberal political arrangements and sociotechnical progress.
