so destroy the lives of anyone owens disagrees with for any reason is what you are promoting. And you expect to be applauded for this drek? I get the feeling if his own methods were used against him, he would cry out saying it's racist to treat him in such a way. words matter, and just because some idiot decides to redefine what something means, doesn't mean anyone else is going to go along with it. "we are not getting them fired for wrongthink, we are simply holding them accountable for daring to have a different opinion than we do"

As a footnote, i have tested various water supplies, from a 'secret' underground spring to tank water. The spring is heavily contaminated by farming chemicals it is not safe. Tank water proved the best. Those creepy brown strands? Add a bit of water, and they become invisible. Maybe morgellon strands?

Advice to all.. buy yourself a water distiller. You will be shocked at what is left at the bottom of the tank. It stinks. There is so much white powder, worse are the creepy brown strands. Even bottled water leaves crap. It has had such a positive effect on my health over the last three years. Im mid 70's with a great new lease of life. Water is so important.

Diogenes devaluing the coins is a metaphor for him devaluing what people valued in his time, which rings true, perhaps even more so today, with how much value and importance people put onto material wealth and possessions, ironically Diogenes would have spat in the faces of these two for being such comfort loving materialists!

So he's saying we can coexist, as long as we don't say things the other does not like? Finds offensive? In fear of losing everything? OK, so people will stop talking to each other altogether. We shall witness the end of humanity following very quickly. A democratic tool??? It's a tool that has been used in totalitarian societies for 1000s of years. Nowadays you don't 'fight with protests', you fight with becoming more competent, more resilient and taking responsibility.

I don't like to criticise, because I want to encourage any channel focusing on reading. But, if I may... I've watched many interviews with Lionel Shriver, and I must say this is the only one in which she looked more and more bored as it progressed. Of course, she may have been having a bad day, but I think the questions were just not interesting/challenging enough. Also (sorry) I think she was a little tired of the interviewer's personal anecdotes, hence the cringeworthy complete silence at the end of many of them. I enjoyed listening to LS, but I think the interview technique needs some refinement. 👍

Thanks for reminding me of my narcissistic tendencies. I too am bored of my anecdotes and there is nothing worse than cringe. I’ll do my best but I am 72 and I have never really benefitted from any advice, so as to refinement…. You are very pleasant in your critical style. Unusual to see in a world where civil discourse has gone by the wayside. I feel bad that Lionel didn’t (if she didn’t) enjoy our conversation.

Margaret Murphy is a weaver of fantastic tales, growing up in a world where the truth is too much for one little girl to endure. Her first memory is of the day her friend Agnes died. You would thick this little one has autism, but she may have passed the theoretical framework; meaning harsh behavior that gives her withdraws, unique in its writing the author did a good job.

OMG that moment when Sam Hankin reveals... and poor Andy Clark is cornered. But surely Mr Hankin must realise that believing there was no Pentagon plane leads inevitably to all the rest? Or has he come up with his own esoteric theory, with some sort of pick-n-mix in what he believes? So strange, and actually kind of typical, that he should think it's other people who are prone to conspiracy theories. Not him though.
