    20:23 right here Lawrence hits the nail on the head. And maybe insignificant for this whole conversation, but honestly hes right - because i do this with my own children, snd we spend some time discovering the answer to their question together. This has led to their love of learninf, and their curiosity expanding. They always want to know "why?" and they come up with a lot of great hypothesis and we search together to tey and come up with answers. Irs really a great way to help kids learn to love to learn!

      That’s beautiful and I believe more people need to do this and be able to do this. First, fantastic what you’re doing with your kids, learning together is amazing. But furthermore, there’s such honesty and beauty in saying “great question. I don’t know - let’s find out together”.
      I think an issue we are currently encountering in politics (although it’s politics so it’s probably the nature of the beast) but no one knows how to find information - so many claims that some “news corporations” make are easily falsifiable but it’s overwhelmingly hard to see past that when you star with certain biases/prejudices and these enterprises feed on them and exacerbate matters.

    This guy, Hakeem, is one of those rare breeds and amazing characters! Lawrence's work on finding subjects to talk and bringing the right people to talk about those subjects is stunning as well. However, he still has to work A LOT on NOT INTERRUPTING left and right and to organize his thoughts!😂 I guess he's full of dark matter! 😂

    46:37 that’s an incredibly insightful point, regarding the amount of science communicators with southern accents or lack thereof. You don’t necessarily associate the two states of being as compatible but these individuals must exist.

    As a non-academic, albeit one with scientific training, I find it fascinating to listen to these two brilliant people on the 'inside' of that world. I love your openness to intellectual ideas and awareness of ideas that are not directly related to acadaemia. I admit I would not have held that view of Lawrence at some points during those distant religious debates, but even Lawrence now admits he was probably debating a different question.

    Hakeem makes a very important observation (and something I have long believed) which is that bullies will just go for the low hanging fruit. Many of these incidences of casual racism that people get so upset about are not even fundamentally racist in nature. It's just a case of a bully focusing on the thing that will get the biggest reaction.

His story of having a snowwball's chance in H-E-double L hockey sticks of achieving what he's achieved and being who he is, NOW, in his field of study is truly remarkable. What a great story.

    Not at all that I would come to think of Hakeem Oluseyi in relation to the tragic works of other's unfortunate choices in relation to this, but there's a reminder about relating to what Lawrence Krauss once said about people who as soon as they get sorted out how mathematical expressions relates to and makes way for connecting with images of reality as they serve to explain physics, then they're likely to want to make use of newly found connections by switching to studies related to finances. I seem to remember that one of his expressions concerning this in particular was relating to Norway, somehow, which is probably why it now brought about memories of a talented boxer, once a friend, who happened very early to possess the obviously rare ability enableing one to a larger extent to "go the other way", so to sprak, while explaining to others, or attempting to do so, physical reactions by involving mathematical equations. My point after the facts has of cause been, while being known no doubt as "hopelessly boring and insignificant by far too often beginning to involve socially insignificant matters with matters of significans" among in the end surely bothering means amongst the identifying habits by people, even if some or more truth amounts in that a talented boxer's destiny's not much fitting as excuse on my own part. Daring to make use of a certainly sensed relation, therefore, environments of various kinds that serves to establish ranges of pathways for unfortunate reactions and risks associated with damages and "the great art of boxing" betweens is today representing more in itself an example of a splendid method of distancing oneself then of introducing a theme of interest, what ever trends may say about development of the place for naturally conditioned talents amongst the no doubt rarer. For what ever it's worth, I tend to hope not to experience arguments in favour of sports associated with head injuries from guys like Krauss and Oluseyi, while what ever count of exceptions might be about, memories are to an uncombinable amount parts of earlier experienced facts already, and Amen, among scientists having studied this relentlessly over a long period of time, is very far from alone in confirming findings either what physical, pshycological, or otherwise mentally inflicting factors involves.

    This was really good.
    Talking of "racism" I went to school for four years, as a Scottish kid in Gibraltar, surrounded with Spanish kids who would ask things like
    "Do you know what TV is?"
    "You live in caves and hit people over the head with clubs don't you?"
    "You can't be Catholic, we are Catholic, you're not!"
    I thought it was funny to be honest, and they were all scared of a clubbing so win win!

      @OrchidFlame Рік тому

      Good point to make. I think Americans see racism in literal black and white and forget it exists everywhere. I think Hakeem was heading toward making that point too when he spoke of his international travels but he got off track there. They both made excellent points that racism is basically just ignorance and stems from judgment by grouping as opposed to individual judgment. Judgment itself is something we really all as a world need to get over, though we have some as nature that is impossible to get over.

Yet you say that evolution can create a ribosome with 4^5000 (5000 nucleotides), which is like 2^10,000 (10,000 bit encryption). It doesn't sound like atheists can do math. If you could, you would find this very anomalous.
