Today is July 2, 2024.
My guest is neuroscientist, philosopher and author Sam Harris.
Sam is the host of Making Sense and creator of waking up.
This is Sam's second appearance on econTalk.
He was last year in February of 2023, talking about meditation, mindfulness and morality.
Sam, welcome back to Econ Talk.
Thank you, Russ.
Great to see you.
Happy to be back.
Our formal topic for today is an episode you did making sense on the situation on us campuses.
I'm sure we'll get into other things along the way.
I want to warn parents listening with children this episode may touch on adult themes or language.
So let's start with the protests.
Although it's funny, here we are in the end of June.
