Sam Harris

“My feeling is that if your identity is not just "Homo sapiens" at this point, you have a problem, and it's a problem for the rest of us. And so we have to outgrow that problem. Now, it's perfectly understandable that people identify with a smaller tribe, and they're Americans, or they're Republicans, or they're black, or they're Jewish, or whatever it is. But the end-game for a global civilization has got to be that we take all of that more and more lightly, so that at a certain point, we only do it for fun. It's just a game. Like I'm a Yankees fan, you're a Red Sox fan, we're gonna pretend to hate each other, but we do it because it's fun. And if it's not just fun, it's fucking pathological.”
