The Original PhD Dissertation of Sam Harris
PDF
As submitted to UCLA in 2009

I suppose he used it as a basis for his 2010 book "The Moral Landscape".

Contains such gems as "No doubt, there are still people who will reject any description of human nature that was not first rendered in iambic pentameter."

and

"There were several moments during our panel discussions that brought to mind the final scene of Invasion of the Body Snatchers: people who looked like scientists, had published as scientists, and would soon be returning to their labs, nevertheless gave voice to the alien hiss of religious obscurantism at the slightest prodding."

This, I remind you, is a PhD dissertation, not a bit from Real Time with Bill Maher.

Uploaded as a public service to anyone who still believes that this ignorant buffoon is some sort of an atheistic sage
