@h2hjastermereel Sam Harris has destroyed nothing but his reputation in the last few years. Thinking everything about this world can he explained by science is naive and fails quickly so saying she went from concrete to ephemeral is a false binary - there are that are only ephemeral and some of what you call “concrete” will be proven wrong in the future by the same science that says it’s concrete now. That is in fact the cycle of science of continually proving itself wrong, thus arrogance is required to think current science on any number of topics won’t also be proven wrong given a few years. “Concrete” isn’t that concrete and ephemeral is actually more concrete over time given the consistency of, say, human emotions over history.
