Sam Harris on philosophy

Jesus Christ⁠—who, as it turns out, was born of a virgin, cheated death, and rose bodily into the heavens⁠—can now be eaten in the form of a cracker.

Consciousness is the one thing in this universe that cannot be an illusion.

The self really is an illusion⁠—and realizing this is the basis of spiritual life.

The unexamined life is not worth living.
