Drugs and the Meaning of Life

7/11/2014

In this blog post, Sam Harris explores the relationship between drugs and the search for meaning in life. He discusses the potential benefits and risks of using drugs to alter one's consciousness and explores different philosophical perspectives on the nature of reality and human experience. Harris argues that while some drug experiences can provide temporary insights or feelings of transcendence, they ultimately fall short of providing a genuine and lasting sense of meaning. He suggests that a more productive approach to finding meaning in life involves cultivating virtues, engaging in meaningful relationships, and pursuing a deeper understanding of oneself and the world.
