The Four Horsemen
Book - out 14th Feb.
https://www.penguin.co.uk/books/111/111 ... 80399.html
The blurb on Amazon says:
Known as the ‘four horsemen’ of New Atheism, these four big thinkers of the twenty-first century met only once. Their electrifying examination of ideas on this remarkable occasion was intense and wide-ranging. Everything that was said as they agreed and disagreed with one another, interrogated ideas and exchanged insights – about religion and atheism, science and sense – speaks with urgency to our present age.
Questions they asked of each other included: ‘Is it ever possible to win a war of ideas? Is spirituality the preserve of the religious? Are there any truths you would rather not know? Would you want to see the end of faith?’
The dialogue was recorded, and is now transcribed and presented here with new introductions from the surviving three horsemen.
With a sparkling introduction from Stephen Fry, it makes essential reading for all their admirers and for anyone interested in exploring the tensions between faith and reason.

Which one is Death, which one is War, which one is Pestilence?

The 4th Horseman was He of Putting Toliet Roll The Wrong Way Round On Holder.
The very worst.

I've still been listening to Harris. He just interviewed Jack Dorsey, and Joe Rogan (Joe Rogan is like Oprah for dudes)

Re: The Four Horsemen
Did the other three rubbish Sam Harris about his theory of objective morality?

"Socialized medicine is just exactly as morally defensible as gassing and cooking Jews" - Seth. Yes, he really did say that..
"Seth you are a boon to this community" - Cunt.

The babblefest was recorded in 2007. Harris started talking about objective morality during a Ted talk in 2010 and published his book on the topic a bit later that year.pErvinalia wrote: ↑Fri Feb 08, 2019 11:26 pmDid the other three rubbish Sam Harris about his theory of objective morality?

I thought the 4th horseman was Ringo.
