" i love sam harris. i'm not a neuroscientist, neurophysicist or neuro anything so this is simply my uneducated opinion.
i've read much of sam's work and this one seems to connect some dots that are really spread out. i get the overall concept of his idea and i can easily agree with it. what i feel is missing from the book is how we get from the authorship of thought to the ownership of thought. at some point we all become responsible in some way for our actions, according to current societal systems. i don't get the connection here.
maybe he's trying to support his main idea by removing responsibility and accountability for the actions of individuals but IMO, much is left out about the transition from thought authorship to the subsequent actions taken.
still love his logic and reasoning. "
