11: Sam Harris - Fighting with Friends

On this episode of The Portal, Eric talks to one of his closest friends, neuroscientist, philosopher and meditation-guru, Sam Harris. When Sam and Eric sit down they generally agree about a large number of things. So in this experiment of a session, Eric attempts to push the relentlessly reasonable and methodical Sam out of his comfort zone to highlight their genuine differences. These include: beliefs on religion, the logic of voting for unreasonable candidates, Jeffrey Epstein's demise, the competence of the press, the ethics of immigration and more.  Skillshare: Go to Skillshare.com/PORTAL to start your two months of unlimited access today Boll and Branch: For a limited time get fifty dollars off when you go to Bollandbranch.com/PORTAL Four Sigmatic: FourSigmatic.com/PORTAL and use discount code PORTAL to get a 15% discount on all orders Express VPN: Get 3 extra free months when you sign up for a year using Expressvpn.com/PORTAL See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
