Good morning everyone. Reports of my “retirement” may have been a little overstated yesterday. I’m not gone, just on reduced hours. Bl*gging will continue, as much as everyone is able.
Today’s Hili is a little obscure, and requires some background. As you know Małgorzatą and Andrzej run a Polish rationalist website of their own, Listy z naszego sadu with Madam Hili as Editor In Chief. They translate many articles from multiple sources on science, secularism, religion, politics etc.
Małgorzatą explains:
Hili just gave her approval to the decision to publish the interview of Michael Shermer by Sam Harris.
A. Have you already read Sam Harris?
Hili: Yes, tasty.
In Polish:
Ja: Czytałaś już Sama Harrisa?
Hili: Tak, smaczny.
Matthew’s book was reviewed in the Sunday Times yesterday – must scan it – was nice if short.
PS we were all going to club together & get you a retirement present – never mind! 😉
“Sam Harris–Tasty” would be a great book blurb.
Any chance for an English translation of the interview? I’d love to read it, but my Polish is limited to words like, “kielbasa,” and, “kabanos”…and I somehow doubt that that’s the sort of “tasty” that Hili has in mind….

This is the translation of the interview conducted in English without one mention of kielbasa or kabanos. Here is the original:

Thanks for the link; it’s a good read. Shame about the lack of sausages, though. Not even any pierogi….
