Sam Harris is holding a competition on his website for the best essay in argument against The Moral Landscape. I’m an avid Harris fan, never doubt a word he says, but your essay “The Paragraph I Wish Sam Harris Would Write” is one I would consider to be an extremely good candidate. Take a look at the competition, there’s money to be won regardless of whether he agrees with the essay as long as it’s better than everyone else’s.
Enjoying your humanism blogs, did you know that Steven Pinker tweeted your “10 Sublime Wonders of Science“? Great stuff, look forward to seeing more.

Some people wrote that music is the paint of the Soul, but some Humans do not believe in soul, music could be harmonic sound waves, but with a metric in amplitude and phase (rhythm), if you introduce a music tone that is out of tone and phase, your ears can be terrible not pleased, no matter if hip hop or reggae-ton composers sell millions of CD you can call it music, more often that kind of music reflects the paint of their soul and their lyrics reflect the low evolution level of their minds, although his fame and fortune indicate a different picture with colors…
