Sam Harris is an American philosopher, neuroscientist, author, and host of Making Sense.
Peter and Kasia are in-conversation with Sam on spirituality, consciousness, ethical living, and the fear of death.
Sam begins by examining his profound ethical realisations under the effects of MDMA, leading to a pursuit of understanding consciousness via meditation and philosophy. The dialogue covers the contrasts between psychedelic experiences and meditation, the illusion of self, and the ethical implications of free will.
Sam touches on modern ethical issues like lying, vegetarianism, and effective altruism. Ultimately this episode emphasises appreciating the present and making thoughtful philosophical adjustments to lead a fulfilling life.
