Sam Harris @ AtheistCon

Attending the 2012 Global Atheist Convention in Melbourne has been a major highlight of my year.

Footage of the speech I gave is currently being polished and buffed by atheist elves and will be posted here soon, but for now I just wanted to share Sam Harris‘ address with you .

It is, like all of Sam‘s work, lovely and thought-provoking and inspiring and important.

Also, I think it was pretty ballsy of him to make a room full of thousands of skeptical smarty pants atheist do some breathing/awareness exercises.
