    Daniel H. Pink

    Sam Harris
    “Imagine a world in which generations of human beings come to believe that
    certain films were made by God or that specific software was coded by him.
    Imagine a future in which millions of our descendants murder each other
    over rival interpretations of Star Wars or Windows 98. Could anything --
    anything -- be more ridiculous? And yet, this would be no more ridiculous
    than the world we are living in. ”
