Neil DeGrasse Tyson Destroys Bill O'Reilly

bamdrew says...

The blunted point of this video: religion is about faithfully following and constraining curiosity, while science is about aggressively questioning and holding nothing sacred.

A point I would add is that in human societies there may be a time and a place for each, but they will still each question the value of the other.

What we should be talking about then is the individual common ground, in your own head, between these two things. You describe a more Unitarian God, responsible for creating/upholding the laws of a changing Universe, and nothing else. I might describe a God with far less impact or far greater impact on human lives here on Earth (...or hundreds of Gods along a God power-spectrum). I might also specify some particular stories about how I know my God to be the true God.

On the other side is Science, where neither bullshit nor treasured dogma are valued once proven wrong. Your world is composed of atoms, which we've taken pictures of, and we've landed robots on another planet... but where we wonder what the meaning of any of this is, and how long its going to be before we screw it up.

>> ^shinyblurry:

What is upholding these absolute laws in a Universe which is constantly changing? ...you can describe mechanism all day long, but this says nothing about an Agency. You have to explain Agency first (or explain it away), before you can say you've explained anything.
You can describe all the mechanisms of reality, but in the end, you still have faith in a self-creating Universe.

VICE North Korean Labor Camps (7-part playlist)

bamdrew says...

These Vice Guides are great because they focus as much on the process of getting to a story as much as capturing it.


Soo much of the excitement in journalism and photojournalism is in the process.

Ozzy interviewed in 1984... he speaks coherently

bamdrew says...

I love Ozzy's lack of pretension, and how he never takes himself too seriously (attributing his fame to luck, hard work, and help from others, as well as growing up in a boring place with crappy prospects... which reminds me of Ricky Gervais).

He always seems openly grateful and appreciative, giving credit where its due.

forgot my favorite track...

The Stills - 'Gender Bombs'
http://youtu.be/fvweWKhVM7A

(lyrics)
"Brains, on a brick wall, when gender bombs would fall
The sorted way allotted phrases infiltrate your skull

Images are strong, impulses are strong
And logic will break your heart forever, be brave

Massive suicide dreams
The fear of war and love

The girl will scold you
The girl will...


The carcass bleeding gaming for self ten loves in a row
The drunken Sunday evening's would just be in your way, no

Massive Suicide dreams
The fear of war and love

The girl will scold you... [8x]"
