    When it comes out, be sure to watch Sam Harris’ talk, to the end. He builds his fundamental and deep argument beautifully, convincing me… and then, Chris, in just two sentences, manages to cast reasonable doubt back on one of the more provocative conclusions. TED discourse par excellence. One of my favorites so far.

    It is funny and joyful to see and read about Sam Harris who makes things as clear as water.
    I hope to get a line to the Interview he had with Pat Morrison. What this nice man says and writes is great.

    Will someone at TED please post these presentations?! Are there any plans to post these talks?! Can anyone say one way or the other? The fact we’re left wondering is annoying.
