Sam Harris is more unique than interesting

(2024-01-24 10:43:49) 下一個

Sam Harris is among the few who think that to be conscious means to be self aware.  

He has stayed true to himself after being exposed to divergent experiences and, of course,  despite his fame and fortune.  His thoughts about consciousness and buddhism are very different from others.

George Hotz, Marc Andreessen and Eliezer Yudkowvsky on the other hand are more interesting than unique.

Different domains coexist in this universe.

You can't explain chemistry using knowledge about physics alone.

You can't explain biology with knowledge about physics and chemistry.

You can't explain human nature equipped only with knowledge about physics,  chemistry and biology.

You can't explain conciousness or what it means to be alive even if you have learned everything about physics, chemistry, biology and human nature.

To build a chair is easy.

To create a human is difficult.

To mold and nurture a soul is almost impossible.
