I am promoting a positive philosophy called wonderism, which is inspired by folks like Darwin, Sagan, Einstein, and many others. If that sounds interesting, I'll be posting more videos over time explaining just what exactly I'm talking about. Other topics that might interest: Evolution, religion, politics, education, philosophy, science, science fiction, literature, film, art, culture, memes, origins of life, origins of humans, cosmology, epistemology, pragmatism, atheism, agnosticism, anything and everything that needs to be discussed.

I just watched your "introduction" video. I picked up Mark Kingwells latest book Opening the Gambits which was recently published and was relieved to read sentences that chime with my own. After name-dropping a few of his favorite artists, Kingwell writes that

"The making of such lists, and debates about which works belong on them and why, is a matter for criticism and apprehension, not for philosophy. The main philosophical point, and the only valid one that can be made in general, is that aesthetic success hinges on how much the work opens up, rather than closes down, the spaces of thought and wonder."

As for the atheist stuff I would recommend Richard Rorty and Gianni Vattimo's book "The Future of Religion." It is a corrective move in Rorty's thought that rejects the atheism/theism dichotomy. Brilliant book, beyond the typical Dawkins fights.
