Sam Harris revisits the central argument he made in his book, The Moral Landscape, about the reality of moral truth. He discusses the way concepts like “good” and “evil” can be thought about objectively, the primacy of our intuitions of truth and falsity, and the unity of knowledge.

I feel like this will receive widespread appreciation in 50 years. Maybe much longer. Most people aren't ready to even speak the language of incompatibalism and secular objective morality.

@seDj64

Essentially a final resonse to Alex O Connor? Absolutely love this, wish he would talk more philosophy these days.

@csquared4538

This seems to be the result of Sam's conversation with Alex Oconnor. Should check it out as well.

@M.Linoge

A conversation worth having.

@FrankOdonnell-ej3hd

it was one of your best books and clarified some of the big issues for me⚛😀

@itslightanddark

Sam’s most important work: structuring secular ethics in REAL epistemic bedrock.

@mitchkahle314

Thanks Sam, still the voice of reason for our generation.

@SevenRiderAirForce

I end all these conversations in about 10 seconds by pointing out that moral relativism has no way to condemn slavery or genocide.

@parsafakhar

what about truth then? if telling a lie helps people be happier should we lie?

@Musix4me-Clarinet

For some reason, I get the vibe that some recognized "thinkers" simply are afraid to deal with such a difficult topic. And by "difficult", I don't mean the number of brain cells. I'm talking about hurting feelings and taking a stance. I think Sam has made a very cogent argument and a lot of good can come of working towards a scientific approach to morality. Some of the resistance sounds very much like the arguments made in the past when groundbreaking advancements in science were initially presented.
