I'm an atheist who thinks even further than other atheists and I wish all atheists would think with their own brain rather than having mainstream atheists imposing on you, installing in your mind the gay agenda Have you noticed how the gay agenda is now integral part of atheism? it's ok to dislike gays! it's ok to have likes and dislikes! it's ok to recognize that gays shouldn't have all the rights they already have and other rights which are demanding, like raising kids.... Raising children is technically NOT a right...). Sam and other mainstream atheists have partnered with LGBT; they are never going to support heterosexual men. An heterosexual man should have the right not to be bombarded by the gaysm everywhere he goes, should have the right not to have gaysm imposed on him in any way. Just like someone can't shove mushrooms down my throat if I don't like mushrooms, so no one should shove gaysm down my throat in every single way they can. Example: every single speech any mainstream atheist gives, they sneak in there something in favor of gaysm and they talk as if supporting gaysm is the only natural thing to do, as if you have to be on their side, you have to think like the speaker; very sneaky and dishonest.

That was the best line in this whole discussion. There's Brian "Say only nice stuff" Greene arguing for his way to convince people... and there's Sam "Show them they're idiots" Harris arguing for calling a spade a spade. I'm with Sam. I wish Sam would have asked Brian, "How come I don't see you fighting to keep creationism out of the classroom?" I'm losing respect for Brian. I think scientists should be on the front lines fighting against superstition, i.e. religion. But Brian just sits in his house selling books and ignoring his duty to educate people in pure science - which is clearly NOT congruous with religion.

I can no longer stand watching the question period in these gatherings. The questioners seem to think they have to explain their own theory before they can ask something. Would it not be easier to have the audience email or tweet their questions, have someone curate them before question period, and then have them read off by the presenters so the audio is intelligible? The act of writing a very long question may cut down on the audience prefaces, and the audio problems should be minimised. You could even project the question on a background behind the presenters. I really am sick of the format in which a questioner spends 10 minutes getting to the question. I think Sam is too!

Audience brought the A-game on this one! I found most of them interesting, as well as the answers. One in particular that to stands out for me in the end is the one on eating animals. Both the question and answer were thought-provoking and conducive to moving the conversation forward. I’ve listened to many arguments and exchanges on the topic, and this brought something entirely new. So thank you!

I don't think we realize how very little we actually do know and how much is there still that we do not know and how miserably wrong the things we think we know truly are. And all of this surrounds us and really all we need to do is discover it. After all, math for instance , was in no way invented, sure we came up with the symbols which we could have used anything to denote them with but the math was already there. We are slowly discovering what has already been given to us.

I never understand why people dont point out the most obvious reason as to why we wont ever see intelligent life forms. The problem is the speed of light and time. Even if an alien civilization that was 1 billion light years away had some type of awesome telescope that was FIXED on the earth, they would be viewing the earth as it was a billion years ago. Even if they looked directly at the earth for a million years, they'd never see anything more than a dead planet with no atmosphere. So you'd not only have to luck upon looking at a planet with life, you'd also have to luck upon looking at it at it's correct point in the past. If they wanted to see how we are today, they'd have to wait 1 billion years from now to even see it.

Well, that's true of life outside our Galaxy. Life within our galaxy, the scales are more manageable (hundreds of years to hundreds of thousands of years - still in the time span a species could exist) but yeah, communicating with them just isn't plausible. Even most of the closest stars would take a century to send a message and then receive a response. But, the point is to discover they do exist. Communication would be a bonus, but even seeing relics of a civilization long since dead would be world changing

Well, while I do agree with you, they had two different roles here, and I would argue that Sam's "mission" is likely far more contentious than Brian's. To put it simply, Brian wants to teach people difficult things, physics/cosmology and such, while Sam wants to get people to unlearn what they already know but are based on irrational beliefs, i.e. religious indoctrination and ideas about consciousness and free will, before learning new, other difficult things, and that statement alone shows that Sam has double the task, the first one being to disabuse people of their strongly held beliefs which many consider fundamental to their identity and who they are, a monumental undertaking certainly not for the faint of heart, for it forces him to confront others and challenge their most core beliefs.

Two great minds, although i appreciate Sams more 'direct' enquiry into religion whereas Brian is one of the ones who prefers a less direct route, as in science education, to convince someone of the folly of organised religion. Personally, it was the direct enquiry style that led me to free myself from my own indocturnation and tribalism whereas years of science education did'nt make a big enough dent. Still love Brian, though feel Sam has the right amount of respect and direct enquiry into religion to actually change mindsets.

God gives clarity to everything we need to know in the written Word to those blessed with the knowledge of our Creator. But by the grace of God go we all.

It is a bit interesting that during the inception of an idea, or theory, that some factors are necessary that cannot be considered hard reason, such as creativity, insight, a kind of faith and perhaps even a kind of aesthetics. (Qualifier, I am by no means pushing for religious belief). These factors are not formal or rigid, but are absolutely necessary for intellectual progress.

@@gravelpit5680 Sam is fundamentally wrong about objective morality. It is, by it's very nature of being a "thing," subjective. It is an opinion in a very simple, basic way. To get to something being objectively moral, you have to make at least one presupposition, which instantly takes it out of the realm of being objective. He, and those who support the bogus position, presume "well being." Well, that isn't part of the consideration. The consideration is "Is morality fundamentally objective, or subjective?," NOT "If we assume well being is the foundation of morality, is morality objective, or subjective." And even THEN, what constitutes "well being" is ultimately nothing but a subjective view. The stance crumbles all the way through. If he would just be intellectually honest and frame it under the context of "*For practical purposes* , we can say that all sorts of things are fundamentally moral/immoral," then there wouldn't be anything worth quibbling about, but he insists that his views on morality ARE literally objective. They aren't. He has a big ego thing about it, quite obviously. He knows better, but he stubbornly won't give an inch, even though he is quite plainly, demonstrably wrong. I challenge you to name something that is objectively moral/immoral. I can tear it down instantly. And it isn't about me being special in this ability. Countless people can do it.

5:35 Dr. Green suggests that understanding the mathematics of quantum physics isn’t useful for survival. What if, in the long run, it actually is? These are important things to understand if a species is to become multi-planetary. And survival on any large time scale DOES require space travel and such mathematical understanding. In that way, math itself could be considered a great filter.

So not Bill Maher. @S2LR And yeah, the smarter thing. Wanna grandize yourself by declaring such judgement or is it just that you dislike his opinions and hence have to resort to an ad hominem to safe yourself? You kind of proved within a single sentence that you are probably far less smarter than either of the two. And yeah, Bill Maher is a contentious guy, and guess what, even if you like someone you do not have to agree on everything they say. I like to listen to Sam Harris but on various topics I do not agree with him, e.g. I think he is making himself a tool for the right without even realizing it and often talks about Europe and other places with little knowledge, e.g. not even knowing the actual daily events on the ground or what political framework governs certain developments.

The vast majority of Animals dont have anything inside there that would be complex enough to produce an actual language with syntax when transpiled. I'm guessing research into the "language" of the ultrasonic communication betwwen whales might be interesting but you're not going to get full blown language. Animals are very interesting and varied but this is one area where the answer/possibility is less interesting imo.

The problem with comparing AI influence on a game like chess, where "game" means there is a declared paradigm (8X8, pieces w/ specific attributes, etc.) that is applied to achieve a declared outcome (checkmate, stalemate) versus a problem like economic systems, where people's OPINIONS about what is best vary for many reasons (some people like free enterprise; some people are horrified by it) is that the first phenomenon, the game, is a DEFINED paradigm and ALL engagement with the issue is PRESET by rules that can only be defied at the cost of no longer being considered to be playing the game, whereas with the second, economics, there is NO POSSIBLE WAY to engage in the process with anything close to a single set of agreed upon rules, and so AI, essentially by PRESET, will be perpetually prevented from deriving a consensus answer. Fwiw, that is probably not the longest sentence I've written, but it's up there.

As weird (or potentially horifying) as this sounds, if you have a sufficiently intelligent AI that has a concrete goal (such as elimination of poverty, accrual of capital for the wealthy, the elimination of entire groups of people) people can just agree to largely follow whatever the AI says is best. But you have a serious problem because no one knows what the hell it really wants and what its goal would actually be (let alone if a given goal would be to our detrement)

@Dapdoi Ardon The sheer size of the cosmos makes your statement look mighty unintelligent. We have reached the Kuiper Belt with New Horizons. With consistent funding we put humans on the Moon and that we haven't tackled Mars is only a mixture of pathetic funding, a pathetic weak minded Generation of pussies and humanity concentrating on Religious dogma instead of teaching Science... We have neverending potential but blow it. To say that we or other lifeforms can't reach Interstellar travel is a mixture of negative thought process and only knowing one example of intelligent life.
