Episode notes

The search party is looking for this missing tourist. who got off the bus and for whatever reason changed her outfit at the rest stop. At some point around three in the morning she realizes that she's the missing tourist right? The whole fabrication unravels but what's interesting to me there is that it is untrue to say that the missing tourist was found, that the search was never consummated.

According to neuroscientist and philosopher Sam Harris, rationality is the key to safeguarding everything we cherish, and its only true enemy is dogmatic inflexibility. Harris speaks with EconTalk host Russ Roberts about the views that have made Harris famous, teasing out the often mind-blowing subtleties of his religious and cultural critiques. They discuss what Harris has learned as a podcaster and author, and how ecstasy launched his spiritual journey. Finally, they move on to the power of meditation, exploring the way it can lead to self-transcendence and real connection with others.
