The fact that Sam Harris still has cachet in the science communications community speaks poorly of that community's ability to communicate with marginalized peoples. Sam Harris is sexist and has explicitly endorsed and argued for racist policies such as racial profiling of all people who "look Muslim" (he includes himself in this, which does not, contra him, make it OK) as well as preemptive nuclear strikes against Muslim countries.

I would not trust this sort of person to provide a reasonable or useful perspective on consciousness. ScienceCommunicator (npub1vly…vq7z)
