My favourite youtube video changes from day to day, but I love this one.
Betrand Russell on why he isn't a Christian.
It amazes me how this fragile, old, aristocratic man can be so incredibly awesome!

Did people leave their religions for a while and then decided that they couldn't live without them? Obviously that's not the case, since they actually believe in their religions, and not just view them as "practically useful".
yeah, back at school physics seemed boring and biology seemed much more interesting. nowadays i really wish i studied theoretical physics rather than biology - although i'm not sure i would have been smart enough to have a successful career as a theoretical physicist - these guys are as smart as they come.
Oh, but
I am as smart as they come.
