Episode notes

Love is potentially the default state of consciousness in the presence of other beings struggling to be happy in this world and it just went very very deep. It was a proper spiritual slash mystical experience but from one you know one from which I came down then having come down I was left to wonder okay what do I do about this? So meditation became a major part of my life so that's like half a long winded half answer to your question as far as my meditation practice briefly.

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.
