So I did a dry run of my upcoming speaking engagement yesterday to tech check - one camera overheated and shut itself off and the back up camera ran out of battery. I caught about an hour of footage.
I'm not sure what this means for uploading the talk as I had planned.
Today I've been doing some serious prep for my upcoming speaking event on the 21st and I think I might need to do some trimming!

A "scientist" who has appeared on Ancient Aliens has just blocked me for asking where is scientific work was published.
What I gathered was that he had a popular YouTube channel and some published books.
My spider sense is raising red flags about his legitimatecy.
I'm SO busy and loving it.
I'm writing a Philosophy essay for school, writing a book on epistemology and one on religious studies, preparing notes for a Philosophy paper with a Colleague, notes for my upcoming speaking engagement
People keep asking me why I don't make many videos.
This is why.
I've just been blocked by another atheist.
I've got to say, IMO after decades of these conversations the most pissy people, generally speaking when you challenge them are atheists and believers in ghosts (not necessarily always separate entities)
Atheism doesn't equal skepticism.
Thank you to everyone who came along to the book (re) launch night at Porters in Cardiff
It was so great to see everyone!

When I discuss science with a religious person on the internet I'm not arguing for the validity of science. That's constantly shown by working scientists every day. What I'm doing is saying look, this is the best way we have for evaluating reality and the supernatural is not part of this methodology

The Titles are really coming on for my new Interviews channel. I have the main sequence down, I just need to go out into the world to get the introduction sequence recorded and then it'll be just about ready to go.
I know I've been quiet with updates the last few days, but I have been active!
I've been doing titles for my new interview channel, tinkering with some new lapel microphones, beginning the slides for my upcoming speaking even, book writing and setting other projects into motion!
British followers/supporters.
I have been booked for a live speaking engagement on the 21st February in Leeds.
Details are yet to be finalised but at the moment this is a free event.
I will let you know more details when I have them from the organisers. I hope to see some of you there.
Come along at 7pm Central and hear all about the, ahem extra curricular activities of the early Buddhist community.
So rude that rules had to be developed to stop their behaviour, so naughty that early translators refused to translate some of the verses into English.
