That was lovely. There is more love and effort to love in the world than hate; I guess it's just not as profitable for some and since we can't all meet and take time to get to know one another we have our communications and images of ourselves manufactured for profit. We see how far some are willing to and have gone for profit so let's not fool ourselves about the danger of fear based greed.

Laughter brings us closer. He's very thoughtfully prepared his comments - prepared to speak positively about comedians. Clever guest who knows how to win people over. I appreciate this man's honesty. He has risked his life for it.

Have you ever read J. Krishnamurti? My friend says he talks in circles but if he would take the time to read as he does his bible he would truly have his consciousness altered. The journey truly is about discovering WHAT you are because that's what was created or is being created, then you get to source. Consciousness is controlled by the amygdala and hippocampus and not being aware of how these survival tools (fight/flight) (pleasure/pain) operate in the brain could lead to nuclear annihilation. Evolution is calling.

Basically the near death dreams are just that. Dreams. Which means like any other kind of dream, it's your own brain mashing together recent events with other things you remember and sticking them into a blender to come up with a narrative. So if the last thing you remember before going unconscious is that you are in trouble and could die, then your brain throws together a dream that pulls from your own notion of what is supposed to happen when you die. People don't see heaven because it's real. They see heaven because they expect to and their brain is playing their own beliefs back to them.

what an amazing interview, did not know Salman Rushdie was recently attacked and as the powers that be, managed to survive and tell about it. Those solemn interviews are refreshing coming from favorite host. Intelligently & respectfully done Mr. Colbert. Forces of love against hate and puritans cant stand happiness . hurray for you Mr. Rushdie for exposing truths.

H. L. Mencken wrote, "Puritanism -The haunting fear that someone, somewhere, may be happy." He wasn't the first, but I think this is the quote SR was talking about at <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="240">4:00</a>. It's such a deep tragedy that we almost lost Rushdie to a fanatic's blade, stemming from the intolerance of fundamentalist Islam. I'm grateful to the people who stepped in and saved him. I love his observation that the core conflict is between those with a sense of humor and those who lack one.

Mr. Rushdie, you are an inspiration to EVERYONE at a time when our world is consumed with conflicts, wars and pathetic, spineless gutless "leaders" who won't do the right thing. You have stood up for peace and freedom of expression - and paid a huge price since 1989, including this most recent attempt on your life. That you have maintained a sense of humor throughout all of this is testament to your strength of character. You put SO many people to shame...May God bless you, Sir...

I am so glad that this story ended with love and life winning against hatred and death. Unfortunately, this is not always the case: in 2019 an assassin managed to kill the Mayor of Gdańsk, Paweł Adamowicz, right as he was telling crowds of people about sharing love and solidarity with other people. It took place during a huge nationwide charity event and was a horrible shocking antithesis to what happened to him seconds later.

Wow, he is so fortunate to have survived. What an amazing man. Prescient dreams do happen and now he knows to pay attention to some dreams. I’ve have a few prescient dreams but the only one I remember these days was deeply disturbing and involved the slaughter of innocent bovine calves.
