Interesting point on Harris. I guess I'm lucky I got introduced to his work through the meditation app, Waking Up, and subsequent conversations on his podcast. A whole range of topics from determinism, the implications of AI, Zionism, psychedelics, morals, effective altruism etc. I missed the whole 4 Horsemen of Atheism phase, but I can see that being rather one-dimensional.
Fair point on the balancing act ('equation') that's necessary to maintain relationships. I think it's important that everyone figures out the best way to approach the world and its nuances. 'Lying' came at a good time for me - a good corrective.
Let me know how you get along with McCarthy - his work is rather dark but I like how honest and matter-of-fact it is. No frills. Life is what it is.
Drake, it's great to hear from you again.
