Why are parts missing?

[JoeMaestro]

They're not "missing", I "edited" them. You may want to visit BBC site to see more...

i admire john cleese for one day just saying "i've had enough, i've achieved what i know i can, i'll work only when i feel i can and only if i feel inspired"..comedians today need to learn the art of quality over quantity..the comics who get a hollywood/bbc deal then saturate the market with substandard movies and tv shows,which dilute and destroy the purity of their art...it's not all about dollars..well being and and the pride in your work means far more..

Sucks that this interview has edited out potentially other interesting bits about John Cleese, but whatever I have seen was very interesting and thought provoking. John Cleese is a very smart man. I like the bit when he was talking about celebrity and all that.

I liked JC best in Taming of the Shrew. Remarkable acting. Find it on Netflix.

[Bigmouthery]

Very unusual edit.

@hillgly Good to hear. It's the most important fact, it's how we got to this stage. Fascinating. It's also beautiful.

And thanks, I always do. It's in my blood lmao

@EminemBase

Hmmm...i shall be reading some evoltuion stuff then. hahaha

Just thought i'd congratulate you for starting a debate on YouTube thats gone on for months XD

[EminemBase]

What happens (over millions of years) is genetic mutations. Most are bad for the speicies (as they're random) but the good ones survives (hense, natural selection) so it's not like we're moving towards something.

Evolution is happening all aruond us. But it happens over millions of years, you can't witness it like a slideshow.

[EminemBase]

Because like many, you don't understand Evoltuion.

I know what you think. You're thinking humans are the top of the food-chain and we've come from apes like it's a progression.

Evolution has no will. A slug is as evolved as us. We didn't COME from Apes, we are Apees. We're the 13th Ape in the family.

@EminemBase

If its a fact, why isn't it still happening to humans?

I belive there is a reason we are here, you may call me insane and deluded but thats what i belive. You on the other hand belive other wise, i'm not trying to change your mind i'm just saying that if we're actully talking about a reason we're here (aka God) you say you cant see him, touch him, or see any sign of him, there for his is fiction.

Do you think love is fiction? anger? sadness?

[EminemBase]

Well I don't think anything I said in that comment was opinion.

It's true that something being comforting doesn't hold any intrinsic value on something be true.

It's true that there are 12 planets in our solar system, 11 of which are duds in terms of life.

It's true that we can only ponder our existence because of our level of consciousness, not shared by other animals.

And Evolution by the way is a fact. It's not a matter of believing it, it's true.
