Sam Harris - Can Science Determine Human Values? (1 of 2)

[IrishHeroMan]

It's funny how atheists call themselves rational thinkers, when they embrace scientific ideas of high school drop outs, uneducated early scientists and the like. I loved physics and things science related, I just find that rather ironic.

@IrishHeroMan Example please?

@IrishHeroMan Still no god, lots of ironic things eh

The guy at the start left out Daniel Dennet as one of the 4 horsemen, and said there were only three, then he called Richard Dawkins, Richard Dawson!

Great upload, Sam Harris is a brilliant man, and such an attention engaging speaker.

I wish Sam Harris was my father

You can skip to 3:15 where Sam Harris begins speaking.

The video should be titled "How science can determine human values" That's the title of this lecture.

Thanks for the upload.

@niginit

No, it should be called "MILEY CYRUS SMOKES JUSTIN BIEBER'S FIRST PUBIC HAIRS WITH GLASS PIPE"

This has to be one of the greatest thinkers of our time. To me it is not an exageration to say that the fact to be born here and now and therefore being able to listen to Sam Harris makes my journey worthwile.

@swissthinker maximum respect. I feel the EXACT same way

[swissthinker]

@sylviabombs15 Thanks for these kind words!

That is a devastating critique of how the adherents of logical positivism have destroyed what constitutes "good thinking".
