Sam Harris' conceptualization of "The Self"

Hym "Sam Harris' conceptualization of "The Self" is wrong. He thinks it's the articulated thoughts that constitutes 'The Self' and goes as far as to say it's 'An illusion.' The only problem with that is that the articulated thoughts AREN'T the SELF. This is evidenced by the phrase 'TO ARTICULATE YOURSELF.' What does it mean to 'ARTICULATE yourSELF,' Sam? It's implicit IN THE ACT OF ARTICULATION... That 'THE SELF' has yet to be articulated. The self is EXPRESSED through dialogue! And movement sometimes... And mouth noises... But just because the articulation occurs internally... It doesn't mean that THAT is the SELF part you idiot! He's a neurologist! He's like a PhD neurologist and people are listening to the shit like 'Oh yeah geez it's so smart!' EXCEPT IT'S WRONG! WRONG AND DUMB! And then he writes a fucking book based on a galse premise and goes on podcasts to sell idiots a stack of paper-thin sliced DOGSHIT and he doesn't even know how the self works!"

Sam (No one should be richer than me) Sedar "You see, me and the billionaires... Should have the same status and then anyone BENEATH ME... Should have to look to me as an authority. Like faggot Matt! And then resources should be allocated on the basis of whether or not I feel bad for you. But I still get to be a millionaire! That's the most important part."

Hym "And this is why it's never too late to start the liberal purge. Annihilate them completely. For they are a scourge upon the land."
