Advance warning of katrina's path was wrested from mute nature by meteorological calculations and satellite imagery. god told no one of his plans. had the residents of new orleans been content to rely on the beneficence of god, they wouldn't have known that a killer hurricane was bearing down upon them until they felt the first gusts of wind on their faces. and yet, as will come as no surprise to you, a poll conducted by the washington post found that 80 percent of katrina's survivors claim that the event only strengthened their faith in god.

More From Sam Harris

Did you ever notice how many survivors they have? did you ever notice that? everybody - every time you turn around, 15,000 survivors meet here, 400 survivors convention there. i mean, did you ever notice? nazis sure were inefficient, weren't they? boy, boy, boy! ...you almost have no survivors that ever say they saw a gas chamber or saw the workings of a gas chamber...they'll say these preposterous stories that anybody can check out to be a lie, an absolute lie.

Faith and daily life, faith and work-these are not separate things. they are one and the same. to think of them as separate-that faith is faith, and work is work-is theoretical faith. based on the recognition that work and faith are one and the same, we should put one hundred percent of our energy into our jobs and one hundred percent into our faith, too. when we resolve to do this, we enter the path of victory in life. faith means to show irrefutable proof of victory amid the realities of society and in our own daily lives.

It is safe to say that almost every person living in new orleans at the moment hurricane katrina struck shared your belief in an omnipotent, omniscient, and compassionate god. but what was god doing while katrina laid waste to their city? surely he heard the prayers of those elderly men and women who fled the rising waters for the safety of their attics, only to be slowly drowned there.

Economists often talk about the 80/20 principle, which is the idea that in any situation roughly 80 percent of the “work” will be done by 20 percent of the participants. in most societies, 20 percent of criminals commit 80 percent of crimes. twenty percent of motorists cause 80 percent of all accidents. twenty percent of beer drinkers drink 80 percent of all beer. when it comes to epidemics, though, this disproportionality becomes even more extreme: a tiny percentage of people do the majority of the work.

Forests are breaking out all over america. new england has more forests since the civil war. in 1880, new york state was only 25 percent forested. today it is more than 66 percent. in 1850, vermont was only 35 percent forested. now it's 76 percent forested and rising. in the south, more land is covered by forest than at any time in the last century. in 1936 a study found that 80 percent of piedmont georgia was without trees. today nearly 70 percent of the state is forested. in the last decade alone, america has added more than 10 million acres of forestland.

When i was a kid, i used to live in new york city. there was a guy named michael alig. he used to throw parties. and a couple of times, i even worked for him and his crew, and handed out fliers, and had my super-high shoes on, and wearing silver saran wrap around my head or something. it's a world i was really comfortable in: a world full of individuals. i think what i like about that world - besides my own personal interests - is the individualism, the investment in the self.
