To the extent that we do not tell our own story, or decline to say what we really think, or remain silent in shame or fear or anger, we deprive the world from knowing itself, and delay heaven by increments. To know ourselves, those who carry the story with us must speak the parts they know. Tell us your story, that I may know myself.

Ep 148: You can't text T.S. Eliot

In Grey Town, Napoleon Bonaparte continues to move further and further outside of the city to the point where he can no longer be reached. In a recent interview Sam Harris seems this way - moving further away from those who would challenge him. We discuss the way of thinking that lacks redemptive spirit, and the responsibility that requires respect, which enables individual rights.
