I felt it was a good opportunity to to go outside the MOQ Discuss and respond to assertions/arguments made by a figure such as Sam Harris to openly begin to deal with those issues that are of concern to us all.

All is provisional and I just hope that this open letter furthers the interest in the MOQ and that it offers a more than viable alternative to all existing philosophical approaches offered thus far concerning the state and so called fate and future of sentience.
