Not really, Sam Harris' conception of a scientific basis for morality is quite intriguing IMO.

If Sam Harris makes you "really think" you need to expand your horizons a little.

I got the book right here in my hand anon. I've read it, and I can tell you, next to everything else I've read, the book is complete and utter shit. I've read a Masters Thesis that are more thought provoking.

Anon, I'm just going to assume you are young. Probably in your 20s. Maybe you are new to reading, I don't know, but you might be falling for that "the last thing I read is the greatest thing ever".... don't do that. Read another 2 dozen different books. Even then, there is still more to read.

actually, race is socially constructed. if /lit/ perceives you as black, you are black.

Race is a social construction based on haplogroups, not on social perception.

>>IMO.

If you think you have to qualify a subject statement by literally telling everyone that it's your opinion, you aren't really making the case that you aren't a fedora wearing pseudo-intellectual.

I'm reading the Moral Landscape right now.

Sometimes he inadvertently disproves his own argument. And sometimes he poses really interesting questions.

But the book itself is not very readable. And I say this as a guy who really enjoyed The End of Faith.
