Sam Harris

My admiration for Sam Harris keeps growing. Combine guts and intelligence and amazing sangfroid under fire.
See <b>SamHarris.org</b> ... many must-see YouTubes. </p>

Want to know my political positions: I agree with Sam Harris almost 100% of the time (and generally also with Steve Pinker)... left-leaning moderation.
(Note: both of them are more kindly disposed to humanity than I am.
I share Sam's pessimism.)</p>

suggestion to appear on 60 minutes with Lesley Stahl. and/or Steve Pinker
to talk about James Damore firing... as counterblance to Marc Benioff SalesForce promotion piece and
virtue signaling by Marc and liberal knee jerk reaction by Leslie Stahl.
what the hell is equal work? (not sent to Harris, but that's a legitimate Q... are the women also working 140 hours per week like Elon Musk does with Tesla and SpaceX?)</p>

suggestion to interview Melinda Gates.
Both the right (for religious reasons) and the left (to avoid being paternalistic) have squelched any discussion of family planning in 3rd world countries in which populations are exploding. Melinda Gates did a brilliant (and greatly under-publicized) TED talk advocating birth control efforts. This is a crucial topic and Melinda would make a great guest, if she is willing. (If not, then directors of Planned Parenthood would also be terrific.)
