I don't see the need to label oneself as a skeptic. Anyone with a brain can see that religion, homeopathy, astronomy and psychic mediums are bollocks. There's nothing particularly clever about coming to that realisation.
You should ask her about elevators. I hear that is her subject of expertise. Perhaps one day I will ask her for coffee to discuss the issue over with her.
Robert, thank you so much for this fantastic series. I love the intelligent informal conversation, the natural humour, the geniality and the selected gusets who are genuinlt very interesting... all set in a very familiar secnario. Brilliant!
I’ve only watched 3 episodes but each time it had been with a guest that I thought was ‘a great unknown to the masses’. I hope you enjoy making this production as much as I do watching it.
at about 11:30 into the above, she claims that the man sitting next to her would have a greater gravitational pull on her than the Moon. I think she's wrong about that. The force of attraction between the Moon and her is far greater than the force of attraction between her and the guy sitting next to her.
I'm pretty sure the math doesn't work out in Watson's favor. I'm sure she just heard something from some authority figure she liked and parroted it, apparently incorrectly.
@PeytonFarquhar1 I reckon you might be right. Doing some back of envelope calculations I think the force between her and the moon is around 7 orders of magnitude bigger than between her and Robert. This assumes they sit about 1 metre apart and both weigh around 50 kilos.
OK, that's an error, but it doesn't blunt the scepticism angle any as far as I'm concerned.
I am getting, more and more, the impression that Watson is far less intelligent than people make her out to be. She's an outspoken atheist/skeptic who happens to be both female and not completely ugly. She comes across as a conceited dope.
Learning yourself html is not that big of a deal. It is just a markup language, not a programming language. Still, you have to be really interested in something if you learn it yourself. I learned html myself. :) Well, I use a small tutorial, pages like selfhtml de and looked at the source of a lot of pages. Then I went to a IT college and to university studying computer science. (So I'm not really representative.)
I read a portion of one of Sylvia Brown's books. It was noting but ad hominem attacks toward anyone who is at all skeptical of her bullshit. Yes those who doubt Sylvia just lack vision, they are narrow-minded, they are mean-spirited, they are angry, etc. People eat it up, they always will.
Well I'd never heard of Rebecca Watson before, so thank you so much for posting this.
A perceptive, intelligent, witty young American woman ;-) I never thought I'd post that sentence. (Yes i KNOW that makes me sexist, ageist and racist)
An extra thumbs up for the preview of your next guest. I'm really looking forward to the mighty John Shuttleworth.
@HarvsPenzance How does hating Americans make you a racist? That just makes you anti-American. America is made up of many races. Also I don't think she's all that perceptive, intelligent or witty. She is a young woman. I agree with you on that.
i'm just wondering, what sort of in car camera mount do you use for your main camera pointing at you, i would like to have a similar set up, where i have a camera at the front facing me and i do sort of reviews, and talks whilst driving.
I hope you can help me, sort of guide me as to what i would need , many thanks Robert

On YT there's a guy called MultiSilicone - who produces anti-vibration camera 'mounts'
Anti-vibration is a good keyword - these mount would allow you to maybe attach cheaper cameras
The mass of a camera (i.e. its weight) maybe is a factor - that's why maybe Rob's tiny cameras offer vibration free pictures
Rob didn't mention what mounts he uses - and the mount is crucial - and in fact how you mount the mount - because cars have no 'standard' mounting points
@gfmarket I am uploading all the old carpools, so yes, you may have seen this one before. I just do it whenever I get a spare moment, later this year I will be uploading new ones after they've been broadcast on Dave.
