Thanks much for the thread, Jazzns. I've watched the first video in your OP, I'm pausing to post this before watching the second, and I'll get the book next week.
Jazzns writes: If it IS true that murder causes suffering then we OUGHT to take measure to stop it. I don't see the illogic in that but I am no philosopher. I nearly majored in philosophy, but ended up bookending my English major with minors in philosophy and anthropology (and an outlier in E. Asian studies  ), partly because I concluded that, as Harris says, "We are being misled by language." Thanks again."If you can keep your head while those around you are losing theirs, you can collect a lot of heads."
