On this episode of The Portal, [[Eric Weinstein|Eric]] talks to one of his closest friends, neuroscientist, philosopher and meditation-guru, [[Sam Harris]]. When Sam and Eric sit down they generally agree about a large number of things. So in this experiment of a session, Eric attempts to push the relentlessly reasonable and methodical Sam out of his comfort zone to highlight their genuine differences. These include: beliefs on religion, the logic of voting for unreasonable candidates, [[Jeffrey Epstein]]'s demise, the competence of the press, the ethics of immigration and more.
