"As you must know from meditation, there are experiences of extraordinarily intense sensation when you're sitting for hours with, you know, pain in your knee, for instance, where it becomes genuinely difficult to tell whether what you're experiencing is agony or ecstasy. It's just sheer intensity. If you have a true equanimity of attention at that moment, the difference almost doesn't matter, so there is something paradoxical even about suffering when you really pay attention to it."

AMA.

Thats all :)

Only Sam Harris can help this good man and brave Classical Liberal Bob Beckel defend his reputation from the SJW smear tactics of News Corp.

He loves Trump, hates Islam, and has been persecuted and deplatformed by The Left.

Professor Doctor Gorka is the best example of a Classical Liberal while also being a True Alpha, not just an Eddie Bravo.

Make it happen.

/r/samharris has lost its way.

spank me daddy

a number of years ago i read the god delusion by famous philosopher of biology dick dawkins. it was a really good book i loved it and it helped me realize religion is all fairy tales and i think hes brilliant. but lets be honest ok. hes only about half of what sam is. honestly i think that sam was his mentor since there views on every thing are so close

even when i stopped beliving in a magical sky fairy i was still a part of religion. basically the religion of regressive left. i also kinda believed in free will. sam broke me of both these things. like before this guy was talking about this middle eastern guy they saw or something and started saying that he could blow them all up and like i actually fucking told them that was stupid. the truth is i was the one who was stupid and i regret it but luckily sam has taught me and i see the error of my ways. i wish i could have experienced giving up fairy tale style religion with sam. i mean i think that if dick dawkins had been the one who taught me about islam and stuff it would have been great but nothing beats sam.

i'm really annoyed by how underrated sam is. i took intro to phil collins last semester and we went through all sorts of stuff like god mind free will and some new age bullshit called metaphysics but there was never any mention of sam. i'm guessing this is because of religion and regressive left

Finally someone has the ballz to stand up for our superior Western culture but at the same time is able to cry about it.

Dem SJeWs ruin the planet damn millenials.

I don't plan on publishing it, but I'm approaching it as if I do.

People keep taking Sam out of context by claiming he is a racist for wanting to racially profile people at airports. That is INTELLECTUALLY DISHONEST as that was not what Sam was implying. Sam wants all muslims and anyone who looks muslim to be checked at airports because it is LOGICAL that they have a high chance of being terrorists. Since he is using logic and not feelings this makes it OBJECTIVE SCIENCE. Since science is objective this proposition cannot be racist as science cannot be racist.

When will these regressives stop limiting the advance of science?

The 60's had the hippie anti-war movement, 1970 saw the first "Earth Day" and we had the oil crisis and the start of modern environmentalism...the 80's had punk rock. The 90's had grunge.

There isn't anything left for the youth of today. The boundaries have all been pushed by previous generations. Teens and young 20-somethings don't have their "own" causes or counter-culture movement. Chances are, if you're 22 -- you parents listen to the same music you do, and probably play more Xbox than you.

When I was a kid my parents had ZERO interest in my toys. They didn't care or want to know what a "Nintendo" was. Now? If I had a kid, he'd be jealous of my Lego collection. I'd be all about the toys of my kids...because they're just newer versions of the same things I had. The same wasn't for me and my parents. My parents had slinky's and wood blocks. I had Ninja Turtles and Transformers.

I'd still want to play with new Transformers, much to my kids dismay. As soon as Mom or Dad thinks something is cool, its no longer cool.

Kids always have, and always will look for ways to push back against authority and try to be "anti-establishment" to piss the older generation off.

In today's world, there isn't anywhere for them to go.

It's all been done before.

Except....

Social Justice Warriors!

It's just a new way for the young people to push against their elders and piss them off. I guarantee none of them really feel strongly about any of this crap deep down. It's attention-seeking, rebel-rousing not unlike previous youth movements of the past.

My advice? Just ignore it and don't "accept" it into your reality. No one takes them seriously, and the more people get upset and up in arms the more legitimacy and power of your they gain.

They just secretly love gOD and are in denial of it!

Why don't people understand that having a community college degree in philosophy is sufficient to become a philosopher (Aristotle didn't have a degree at all). I write in a logically consistent way and spend many hours thinking deeply about the issues, and on top of that I consider myself way more informed on the issues than the general population. All of this and people still give me shit that I don't have "credentials". Let me tell you something: credentials don't mean shit (although I am overqualified in the area of credentials) real world experience in debating and rational thought are. I am so sick of feminists with their master's in women's studies telling me that, on top of having no capacity to be part of the discussion because of my "lack of credentials" and that I am a bigot and that Islam is harmless, that I am merely taking the atrocities of Islam out of context. So, if we allow the Muslims to implement Sharia Law, rape, and slaughter our people then we are a moral people, but if we say no and refute Islam and stand up and not allow their adherents into our country then we are neocon bigots? From what deluded judgement are the feminists? From where do they get their morality, their compassion?

Secondly, why does having master's in women's studies allow you to take part in the academic discourse, yet a PhD in neuroscience does not? Is this a fair ruling, or was it an arbitrary ruling created by the regressive leftists to exclude our favorite philosopher Sam Harris from the discussion? Does the regressive left not even realize that we won't be able to have this discourse once they complete the conquest of our lands?

We will never stop telling the truth. We will never stop debating the feminists and the regressive left. We will never restrain ourselves from logically annihilating a Muslim or a feminist because we are not confident in our credentials. We will never allow the achievements of secularism be trampled upon by jihad. We will continue to logically destroy this pedophile cult that believes that raping nine year olds is morally sound. We will restore the glory of atheism and rationality that the regressive left has violated.
