Samuel Benjamin Harris (9 April 1967) is an American philosopher, neuroscientist, and author.
Making Sense
Harris hosts Making Sense, a popular podcast about “the human mind, society, and current events.” Past guests of the podcast include Sam Bankman-Fried,[1] Nick Bostrom,[2] David Chalmers,[3] Robin Hanson,[4] William MacAskill,[5][6] Jeff McMahan,[7] Toby Ord,[8] Peter Singer[7][9] and Eliezer Yudkowsky.[10] The conversations with MacAskill prompted so many people—including Harris himself—to take the Giving What We Can pledge that they have been described as the most successful effective altruism podcast episodes of all time.[11]
