Sam Harris on Israel, Islam, and the end of Woke Ideology

Yasmine Mohammed Podcast

Sam Harris has a degree in philosophy from Stanford University and a Ph.D. in neuroscience from UCLA. He is the author of five New York Times best sellers. His books include The End of Faith, Letter to a Christian Nation, The Moral Landscape, Free Will, Lying, Waking Up, and Islam and the Future of Tolerance. He also hosts the Making Sense Podcast, which was selected by Apple as one of the “iTunes Best” and has won a Webby Award for best podcast in the Science & Education category. As well, Sam has created the Waking Up app for anyone who wants to learn to meditate in a modern, scientific context. On top of all this, Sam is an incredibly kind, thoughtful, and generous man that I am so grateful to call a friend. Sam and I will be discussing the current state of discourse around Islam in the US, UK, and globally and how/if things have changed since his infamous exchange with Ben Affleck on Real Time with Bill Maher in 2014. We will, of course, be discussing October 7th and the global ripple effects from that day. I generally speak a lot about my mother, but in this conversation, I will be sharing about my father, a man born and raised in Gaza. We will also talk about how we envision going forward from this point. Will things continue to get worse before they can ever get better?
