Introduction
Sam harris: The circumstance we find ourselves in is increasingly strange. Don't you think it's half psychological experiment and half pansey scheme? What are we doing here? I generally think about civilization as a machine for engineering and safeguarding certain experiences. Maybe there's hardware in software analogy here. Perhaps civilization is the hardware layer, and culture is the software. Much of culture is but we need to make it more and more explicit when things begin to break down. Our efforts to co operate with one another are failing, and failing at great cost to everyone involved.
