Source & Proof

The Moral Landscape80% Confidence
The Moral Landscape by @SamHarrisOrg most closely reflects my thoughts
Frankenstein80% Confidence
Book of the day: FRANKENSTEIN by Mary Shelley. My favorite book of all time. An emotional autobiography.
There is a terrifying @nealstephenson book, Fall, that looks at a post factual world. It was scary because it was prescient of what we’re seeing.
