Overview
The official channel for Sam Harris, carrying episodes and clips from his Making Sense podcast, recordings of his debates and lectures, and material on meditation from his Waking Up app. Harris is a neuroscientist and philosopher, one of the "four horsemen" of the new atheism alongside Dawkins, Hitchens, and Dennett, and his subjects on the channel run from religion and free will to artificial intelligence, consciousness, and the ethics of belief.
Notes
Harris is the clearest speaker of the new atheists, and his debate with William Lane Craig, noted under The God Debate II - Harris vs. Craig, contains the best short statement of why divine command theory fails. I agree with him on free will and on the role of well-being in ethics, and disagree with his claim in The Moral Landscape that this makes morality objective, which is addressed under Objective morality. The podcast material is long and the clips are a reasonable way in.
