I think they deserve that. I chuckled to myself though as I read your preparations for the interview. The thought that popped into my head was, "Does he think he is interviewing God?" I'm just a crazy SOB. Me too. I don’t prepare for all interviews so thoroughly. Don’t have the time. But Harris would be a challenge, and a real opportunity if properly prepared for. I, for one, will be looking forward to your interview. I agree with the delurking poster who described Harris as one of the most interesting minds on the planet at this point. It will be really, really interesting to see the two of you interact, and exchange views. I can only imagine that the experience will be a wonderful one for both of you, and for us, getting to share it via video. Thanks. How would you (and Curtis & others) describe Harris in a word or a phrase? I see him referred to as an “atheist”, but from what I’ve read so far, that characterization is very inadequate. My impression of him so far is that everything should stand the test of actual experience, but he’s open to the possibility that experience is not limited to the obvious and mundane. So maybe he’s an agnostic, open to the possibility that God can be experienced.
