Sam Harris: Hitler didn't make himself. He was made by, as you know, his Stardust plus all of the influences of his society. And so when you look at Hitler as a four-year-old boy, you don't look at him as the true author of his evil. If there was a cure for human evil, if we understood psychopathy well enough, we would just cure that boy.
Neil deGrasse Tyson investigates free will, morality, meditation, psychedelic experiences, artificial intelligence, and more alongside neuroscientist and author Sam Harris, comic co-host Godfrey, neurotheologist Andrew Newberg, and neuroscientist Robert Wright. You have no choice but to listen.
