Finally! Sam Harris vs. Andrew Sullivan [UPDATED]

UPDATE: My POLYSEMY colleague, Matthew Dallman, is as skeptical of the atheist position as I am -- in case you are new to IOC, I have been waging my own private war with Sam Harris for more than a year now (search his name within this blog). MD put up a nice post last night after seeing this one. Go check out what he has to say (there are links to previous posts), and the quote he offers from Peter Robinson (The Corner).

I stole this from Truthdig because it's too interesting to pass up.

Ladies and gentleman, the main event: The nation’s most prominent atheist dukes it out with one of America’s most eloquent defenders of faith. Check out the opening salvos in their “blogalogue” at Beliefnet or AndrewSullivan.com.
From Sam Harris:
Where I think we disagree is on the nature of faith itself. I think that faith is, in principle, in conflict with reason (and, therefore, that religion is necessarily in conflict with science), while you do not. Perhaps I should acknowledge at the outset that people use the term “faith” in a variety of ways. My use of the word is meant to capture belief in specific religious propositions without sufficient evidence—prayer can heal the sick, there is a Supreme Being listening to our thoughts, we will be reunited with our loved ones after death, etc. I am not criticizing faith as a positive attitude in the face of uncertainty, of the sort indicated by phrases like, “have faith in yourself.” There’s nothing wrong with that type of “faith.”

From Andrew Sullivan:

I’m struck, in other words, by the difference between Christianity as it can be and Christianity as it is expressed by fundamentalists. You are struck by the similarity between my doubt-filled, sacramental, faith-in-forgiveness and fundamentalism. We Christians are all as nutty as one another, I think you’d say. And my prettifying up religion as something not-so-crazy or unreasonable therefore may be more irritating to you than even the profundities of Rick Warren or Monsignor Escriva. At least, that’s where I predict you will aim your next rhetorical fire. I’m braced.

Beliefnet has both posts (so far), so that may be the best venue to pull up a chair, get some popcorn, and watch the (expected) slugfest.

Buddhanature

[image is from Tyson Williams' site]

This is the Daily Zen for January 17, 2007:

Whether you are going or staying
Sitting or lying down,
The whole world is your own self.
You must find out
Whether the mountains,
Rivers, grass, and forests
Exist in your own mind
Or exist outside it.
Analyze the ten thousand things,
And when you take
This to the limit,
You will come to the limitless;
When you search into it,
You come to the end of search,
Where thinking goes no
Further and distinctions vanish.
When you smash the citadel of doubt,
Then the Buddha is simply yourself.

~ Daikaku (1213-1279)

In an earlier post this morning, I mentioned that we are more expansive than we realize. It is our Buddhanature that provides this expansiveness. In this short quote above, Zen master Daikaku offers a simple series of steps for finding the Buddhanature within all of us.

But if we haven't been working to remove the blockages that keep us in a state of feeling limited, we will have a hard time finding that expansive place within us.

Satire: Area Family's Trip To New Hampshire Sparks Rumors Of Presidential Bid

From The Onion, of course:

Area Family's Trip To New Hampshire Sparks Rumors Of Presidential Bid
MANCHESTER, NH—Rumors are swirling among Beltway insiders that the Patterson family vacation last weekend to New Hampshire, site of the first presidential primary, was, in fact, an attempt by the Michigan family of four to test the waters for a 2008 presidential run.

Enlarge Image
The Patterson family impresses locals with their "charm and dignity."

The Pattersons reportedly spent most of their three-day stay in the Granite State—known for its ability to make or break a candidate—interacting with locals, visiting key landmarks, and, according to political observers, using the outing to showcase their message of strong family values. They were seen taking a guided tour of a maple-sugar house in Barrington as well as stopping for countless photo opportunities outside government buildings in Concord and at other sites around the state.

"No one knew they were planning to throw their hat in the ring," Boston Globe columnist Scott Lehigh said. "They've obviously been planning this trip for months, maybe even as long as a year. They managed to squeeze countless side trips into an almost impossibly tight schedule, including a skiing outing at Pats Peak to their stop and a stop at the Hannah Duston monument in Penacook."

Pundits said the family's slow drive through Bear Brook State Park signaled a deep concern for environmental issues, while their decision to attend Sunday services at the New Castle Congregational Church acted as a nod to the country's important bloc of religious voters. The Pattersons also strolled the shopping districts of wealthy Portsmouth, showing their ability to relate to a cross-section of Americans.

"They looked very presidential," Lehigh said.

Phil Patterson, appearing relaxed but dignified in a black jacket, gray slacks, and open-collar white shirt, made sure to carry the items he purchased from a local Nashua antiquary himself, smiling broadly during several trips back and forth to his minivan. When asked by locals why the family was in town, Patterson downplayed the visit, saying that he was just introducing his children to the "great state of New Hampshire."

"A lot of nice folks around here," Janice Patterson said, shaking hands with Beefside Family Restaurant owner Jim Day after a meal the family called "really good." According to Day, they left a very generous tip and told him their waitress "couldn't have been friendlier."

"They were just really down to earth," Day said.

Despite the growing buzz about their candidacy, some, such as CNN political analyst Bill Schneider, say the family's lack of political experience is a setback. Phil, 49, is a pediatrician; Janice, 47, a homemaker, graduated from the University of Connecticut with a history degree; and Wesley, 19, and Phil Jr., 17, have been widely criticized for their youth. Likewise, the family has yet to form an exploratory committee, and, almost all observers agree that, with a combined annual income of less than $70,000, they are already at a serious fund-raising disadvantage. They were also roundly chided by the media after a major misstep in which Phil Jr. referred to the historic Shaker Village in Canterbury as "sucky."

"The Pattersons have an uphill climb, that's for sure," said political analyst George Stephanopoulos on his ABC program This Week. "But this New Hampshire trip vaults them onto the national stage, sending the message that they are serious about '08. All that's left now is the paperwork."

"Honestly, who in their right mind would visit the Audubon Society of New Hampshire if they weren't running for office?" he added.

Experts are already debating how the Pattersons stack up against early front-runners John McCain, Barack Obama, and Hillary Clinton. All agree that it will depend on how New Hampshirites respond to their visit.

"The Pattersons are masterful at crafting the image of the everyday middle-class family," Washington Post reporter Dan Balz said. "They are likeable, and that will often resonate with voters more than experience."

Added Balz: "But the American people should start asking themselves what a Patterson family presidency would mean for this country."

Sources close to the family say the family will soon visit Janice Patterson's aging mother in Iowa—home to the first-in-the-nation presidential caucus—where many are predicting the family will formally announce their candidacy.
"She's very ill," Mrs. Patterson said of her mother and the carefully planned trip. "I don't think she'll be with us much longer."

Barack Obama's Video Statement

Barack Obama, one of the most popular possible candidates for 2008, announced the formation of an exploratory committee the other day. No one was surprised. But he didn't just announce a committee, he put this video explanation of his reasoning on his website.

Find this video and thousands of others at vSocial!

Now that you've seen his statement, here is why some feel he can beat Hillary:

"Youthful vigor," says Zogby, "has the best crossover appeal, and if that's the case, then we're looking at Barack Obama" as the Democratic nominee.

But let's not give up yet on the Clinton-Obama ticket that Republicans say scares them. All Democrats need to do is edit the ticket to Obama-Clinton.

Works for me.

Pema Chodron on Blockages

[image source]

Tricycle's Daily Dharma: January 17, 2007

Blocked

The river flows rapidly down the mountain, and then all of a sudden it gets blocked with big boulders and a lot of trees. The water can't go any farther, even though it has tremendous force and forward energy. It just gets blocked there. That's what happens with us, too; we get blocked like that. Letting go at the end of the out-breath, letting the thoughts go, is like moving one of those boulders away so that the water can keep flowing, so that our energy and our life force can keep evolving and going forward. We don't, out of fear of the unknown, have to put up these blocks, these dams, that basically say no to life and to feeling life.

~ Pema Chodron, Tricycle: The Buddhist Review, Vol. I, #1

Casually reading this, with the reference to the out breath, it might appear that she is talking only about the meditation cushion. But this is the story of our lives every day.

We all have blockages that prevent our energy from freely flowing. We may have wounding from childhood, bad habits, addictions, or any number of other things that keep us in a feeling of limitation and constraint. But that is not our true nature. Our true nature is boundless.

When we can begin to see our blockages -- through meditation, therapy, journaling, and so on -- we can for the first time be in a position to remove them. They do not go away on their own. Of course this isn't easy or everyone would be doing it, and people would be much happier.

We do not have to suffer with blockages. We are not meant to be limited beings. It is within our power to free ourselves, to open up the flow of energy and to be expansive in our lives.

Video of Bush on 60 Minutes

From what I hear, many people missed Bush on 60 Minutes the other night because of the season opening of 24. I can understand that. But here in Tucson, in whatever hellish time zone we inhabit (no daylight savings time for us), there was no conflict. Anyway, I was clear about what I thought in the link above, so here is the video so you can judge for yourself.

As often is the case these days, I took this from Throw Away Your TV.

Does he seem to be wearing a dumbass grin throughout the interview -- a grin that makes you wonder if there is really anybody home?

Uncover Your True Face

[image source]

Another good Daily Om from yesterday:

Uncover Your True Face
Underneath the Mask

Many of us know the feeling of being stuck in a particular role within our families, as if we are wearing masks whenever we see the people we love. Maybe we are the good daughters, expected to always please others, or perhaps we are the family clowns, expected to be jovial and make everyone laugh. This same scenario can play out within a work situation or a group of friends. We may be so good at our role that we hardly even notice that we are wearing a mask, and yet, deep down, we know that we are not free to simply be who we really are. This can leave us feeling unseen and uneasy.

There is nothing inherently wrong with wearing a mask or playing a role. It is a natural part of any social dynamic and it can even be creative and fun. It only becomes a problem when you feel that you have no other choice than to wear that mask, and this is especially challenging if you realize you are never without one. Perhaps you have forgotten who you really are—a vast and unrestricted being of light—and have identified yourself completely with a role. You may be the dutiful, caring son who keeps his parents’ dysfunctional marriage intact. You may be the angelic wife who enables your husband to continue on a destructive path. You may be the cheerful daughter to a deeply depressed mother. Whatever the case, knowing the motivation behind your performance—the function of your mask—can help to uncover your true face.

Anytime we find ourselves stuck behind a mask, it is an indication that we are entangled in a dysfunctional dynamic in which our true self cannot be seen. We have been placed in this situation for the purpose of our own healing and, in some cases, the healing of others. From this perspective, life can be seen as a series of situations that call us to remove our masks—gently, and with great compassion for all concerned—to reveal the beauty underneath.

We all wear various masks, but the question is this: Do we do it with choice, or do we unconsciously slide into a certain role when we are in a certain situation?

Most of us are unconscious that we have changed masks from one situation to another. A man may be with his wife in the car, going to visit his folks and feel himself (if he were to think about it) as a husband and maybe a father. But as soon as he walks into his parents' house he might immediately slip into the role of the dutiful son (or whatever mask he wore for his family).

Another way to look at these masks, the ones we wear most often, is as subpersonalities. These are selves that we all carry within, each one having a very specific role to fill -- father, son, controller, inner critic, artist, and so on. Most of the time, when these different selves take over, we are completely unaware of the them. But once we begin to identify them we can manage them and use them as needed rather than be overwhelmed by them.

One of the ways we can begin to disidentify with our subpersonalities is by developing an observer self. This is a part of the psyche that is separate from all the subs, a kind of witness. This is the part of ourselves that can see us being an ass and be completely detached and thinking, "Why am I doing this and how do I make it stop?"

When we can disidentify from our subs or our masks, they no longer control us. This is a lifelong process, however, and there will be new subs/masks that we discover as we meet new people or get into new situations.

Behind all these masks and subpersonalities, there is a core self that is our true nature. This part of ourself is whole and complete and wise. Some people call it a higher self, or maybe even a soul -- whatever you want to call it, there is this light inside each of us that does not need masks and subpersonalites -- these false faces are creations of a fragile psyche that are designed to protect our little egos.

Do you know you true face? Can you feel it?

On Books

Two book related items from yesterday caught my attention.

First, J. Peder Zane has assembled the top ten books lists from 125 famous authors and put them into a book called The Top 10 (Norton; 352 pages). Then Lev Grossman reviewed that book for Time magazine.

Each individual top 10 list is like its own steeplechase through the international canon. Look at Michael Chabon's. He heads it up with Jorge Luis Borges's Labyrinths. (Nice: an undersung masterpiece by a writer's writer.) He follows that up with by Pale Fire by Nabokov at #2. (Hm. Does he really think it's better than Lolita? Really?) Then with number 3 he goes straight off the reservation: Scaramouche, by Rafael Sabatini. (What? By who?) The whole exercise is an orgy of intellectual second-guessing, which as we all know is infinitely more fun than the first round of guessing.
There's plenty of canon fodder on the lists. Zane, who's the books editor at the Raleigh News & Observer, has done a statistical breakdown of the results, so we know, for example, that Shakespeare is the most-represented author (followed by Faulkner, who ties with Henry James; they're followed by a five-way tie, which you can read about for yourself). But I'm more interested in the dark horses, the statistical outliers, which lay bare the secret fetishes and perversions of the literati. Douglas Coupland puts Capote's unfinished Answered Prayers at number one, blowing right by Breakfast at Tiffany's and In Cold Blood, too. Jonathan Franzen begins straight up the middle, with The Brothers Karamazov, but turns a sharp corner at #9 with The Man Who Loved Children by Christina Stead, and another at #10 with Independent People by Halldor Laxness. The quintessentially American Tom Wolfe starts by reeling off four French classics in a row. Norman Mailer revives John Dos Passos's out-of-fashion U.S.A. trilogy for his #6 (and shows uncharacteristic forebearance by leaving his own works off the list). And so on. (At times one reads in the knowledge that one is being messed with. There's an outside, screwball chance that David Foster Wallace really reveres C.S. Lewis's The Screwtape Letters above all other books, but I feel comfortable asserting—having read Infinite Jesttwice—that Wallace does not feel that way about Stephen King's The Stand (at #2) or The Sum of All Fears, by Tom Clancy (#10).)

In the end, you end with the following consensus list of the top ten books of all time, not from a critics point of view, but from a writer's point of view:

1. Anna Karenina by Leo Tolstoy
2. Madame Bovary by Gustave Flaubert
3. War and Peace by Leo Tolstoy
4. Lolita by Vladimir Nabokov
5. The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain
6. Hamlet by William Shakespeare
7. The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald
8. In Search of Lost Time by Marcel Proust
9. The Stories of Anton Chekhov by Anton Chekhov
10. Middlemarch by George Eliot

No James Joyce, no Faulkner, No Dostoevsky? Well, I guess that's what happens when you let writers make the list.

* * * * *

Anyway, the second book item makes me a lot happier because it includes some of my favorite reads. The good folks at screenhead have assembled their list of the most impossible books to film, and which directors might be able to pull it off if they tried.

With the release and critical success of Perfume: The Story of a Murderer, an adaptation of a novel once considered impossible to film, what better time to look into the process of adaptation. Most movies these days are based on literary sources. Which is ironic, considering the increasing lack of interest in books these days as opposed to the spoon-fed thoughts offered by Hollywood.
While many novels can be almost directly translated to screen, especially pre-20th century novels such as Jane Austen’s gossip columns, more recent novels can prove difficult. There have been bad novels turned into good films (pretty much everything Hitchcock Made, The Godfather), and plenty of dull adaptations of good books (Dune, The Unbearable Bore of Being in a Cinema to Watch This). There’s also a few oddities, such as Adaptation, Charlie Kaufman’s bizarre self-referential adaptation of ‘The Orchid Thief’. But despite the film industry’s frenzy in snapping up adaptation rights, there remains a few novels many fear.

By the way, Perfume, according to all the reviews I have seen, remains unfilmable -- it's horrible. Anyway, here are the ten books -- you'll have to go to the site to get their insight on the book and who might direct each of these.

1. Ulysses, James Joyce
2. Cat's Cradle, Kurt Vonegut
3. The Wind Up Bird Chronicle, Haruki Murakami
4. The Third Policeman, Flann O’Brien
5. 100 Years of Solitude, Gabriel Garcia Marquez
6. Remembrance of Things Past, Marcel Proust
7. Metamorphosis, Franz Kafka
8. The Confederacy of Dunces, John Kennedy Toole
9. Any Thomas Pynchon Novel, Thomas Pynchon
10. Don Quixote, Miguel de Cervantes
11. The Atrocity Exhibition, J.G. Ballard
12. Catcher in the Rye, J.D. Salinger
13. Molloy, Malone Dies, The Unnameable, Samuel Beckett

And there you have it. Great books that no one should try to film.
