The Amazing Randi interview

By pharyngula on June 9, 2010.

This is a good way to do an interview with Randi: completely cut out the boring interviewer and let the interviewee talk at length. Great fun!

If you go to the Big Think page, there's an index to sections of the talk if you don't have time to listen to the whole thing. You can also leave comments. One peculiar thing is that there are almost no comments there yet, and in fact the only section that seems to have any comments is the one titled "Science will never support religion"…and it's nothing but whiny apologists for faith. Don't bother reading them. It would be nice if people would discuss some of the other parts of this long interview.

By the way, Randi will be in Copenhagen next week, he's a wonderful conversationalist and you should take advantage of him if you can!

Christian Apologists don't have enough faith
I don't normally blog on religion, but there has been an jump in foolish writing coming from the wacky end of the religious spectrum. On the top of the list are folks like Vox Day and Geisler and Turek (I Don't Have Enough FAITH to Be an ATHEIST). For some Christians, faith isn't enough,…
Advice for Aspiring Comedians
Tachyix asked, in a comment, if I had any advice for aspiring comics. I thought I'd move the answer up here to its own post. The most obvious answer is "don't do what I did", since I obviously didn't make it as a comic, but that answer would conceal an important truth. I didn't make it as a comic…
