Episode notes

I had spent about a year on silent retreats over the course of a few years. I was still seeking to solve a problem that was fundamentally misconstrued and perhaps we can talk about that but anyway so now I consider myself someone who practices very much in the spirit of what I would call zogchen practice though there are other non-dual ways of of coming at this.

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.
