A talk I gave for the Mars Society (philosophy discussion group) a few months ago.

Intriguing combination of sophistication and naïvety :)

[LulieTanett]

@NaturalGuy Do you have any criticisms of anything I said?

[MrKingatheist]

@LulieTanett Your video are really helpful :).

[LulieTanett]

@MrKingatheist Thanks! How so? :)

[bizarrejapan]

my god, such an interesting topic and such an awful audio quality....

[koolkat4U]

How on earth do you expect people to follow an audio like that !!

[MrKingatheist]

@LulieTanett Well for me personally, you have broken down and explained critical rationalism of Karl Popper rather well. I have only just started exploring epistemology so for me, this is very helpful. To sum this up as i can't write alot on comments, towards the end of the video, you talk about personality, behavoiur, sexuality etc and it continues into the secound part of the video, so i can't comment yet until i have seen the next video. So far what i have seen has been educational.

@LulieTanett: I found it a very thought provoking lecture, so like you mention you do yourself when watching DVDs I felt like pausing it every thirty seconds to argue with something :)

Do you still have the script you were using? If so could you send me a copy so I can add comments in a more structured way than is possible in YouTube comment boxes.
