Is there a transcript anywhere? I can read much more quickly than I can listen, and the talk is pretty long.

I have to say that I'm skeptical though, that hatred would inherently be any more "false" than love.

I'd guess the talk is mostly a slightly inferior version of Harris' short ebook Free Will.

Well, statistically yes, but necessarily no. I've certainly encountered situations where the reverse was true.

I'm afraid I know of no transcript. I would recommend the talk.
