Great speaker. Checkout 34:55 (you might need to start from the nearest index at 33:51) for an awsome old curse from 1585 which I fully intend to use at the next available opportunity.

Calling All Sci-Fi Geeks - James Cameron's "Avatar"

Collated snippets of info from around IMDB:

"Project 880" Also Known As: Avatar: An IMAX 3D Experience (USA) (IMAX version)

Announced on June 14, 2005 in the Hollywood Reporter, James Cameron's untitled "Project 880" is a parallel project being developed alongside Battle Angel (2011). It will use the same digital-3D camera system (developed by Vince Pace) and virtual production studio (developed by Robert Legato) that Cameron will use on Battle Angel.

Sigourney Weaver plays a 'James Cameron' persona for her character in 'Avatar'. Sigourney stated in an interview, "I teased him because to me I'm playing Jim Cameron in the movie as this kind of brilliant, approach-driven, idealistic perfectionist. But that same somebody has a great heart underneath. So I have to say I was always kind of channeling him."

James Cameron' originally attempted to get this film made in 1999 as his immediate follow-up to Titanic (1997). However, at the time, the special effects he wanted for the movie ran the proposed budget up to $400 million. No studio would fund the film, and it was subsequently shelved for almost ten years.

This guy is great, I've watched many of his videos and have always found his arguments to be well thought out and very clearly presented.

Where are they from, is there a YouTube channel or web-address?

I don't think the video was suggesting there was a chemical involved, although I guess that would be an alternate explanation, alongside the usual placebo effects etc.

It seemed to be arguing the far more general point that having an idle immune system could make you susceptible to auto-immune conditions; conditions where where the body is attacked by it's own immune system. I have no idea if that's true or not, proper clinical trials would be needed, but I ain't volunteering!
