"Removal" of talk-page information

2600:1700:7a51:10b0:95ee:4925:a583:cea added a big chink of text, with the rationale manually adding information that was removed from the talk section. That ionformation is stored in the archives, of course. Joshua Jonathan -Let's talk! 18:08, 31 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Sam Harris and Andrew Cohen conversation

I think in this conversation (on Sam Harris's waking up app) Sam Harris says Cohen was a cult leader, and it seemed like Andrew Cohen agreed he was a cult leader at one time with EnlightenNext. (If wikipedia editors can verify this, add this to the article). Cohen also said he was sorry for all the harm he caused people. If I remember correctly, Cohen said some people did benefit (others harmed) from his teachings and there was some good. His organization, EnlightenNext had a concept of striving towards cultural evolution that would lead to world peace. In the conversation, Cohen defends this vision but says the methods carried out were morally wrong and often unsuccessful.

I am not 100% sure on all this information, I just mention it so someone can check the Sam Harris-Andrew Cohen conversation and possibly add information to the article. In the conversation, Andrew Cohen also mentions why he thinks EnlightenNext broke up in 2013. 209.94.167.155 (talk) 07:38, 2 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
