You're a legend, thank you. You're admired all around the world.

HN hug of death. Download appears to be down.

Sam Harris is the one who comes closest to my world view and has shaped it quite a bit. He is one of the few who is careful with his words and emotions when articulating his arguments.

> I am glad you found meaning in science and facts!

I did not say that. I think I said purpose and meaning need to be grounded in facts / science and should not be derived from belief systems based on "revelation" and other collective delusions.

As an atheist, I obviously disagree. Purpose and meaning have to be based in truth, scientific truth, if you will. Otherwise, you run the risk of harming someone. Dogmatic belief systems based on revelation are risky at best.
