I really don't have a view, I find the similarities re yoru presenetaion and the religious right highly amusing, I share your beliefs entirely, but recognize that in a world built on evolution, a randomsample of ideas is always always benficilat , you are being ignorant of the basic concpet , no one strategty, explore and occupy as many niches as possible so that if the envfironment changes , some strategy survives, idon't want everyone to think alike, On Wed, May 8, 2013 at 2:01 PM, Lawrence Krauss c > wrote: this depresses me of course.. sorry for the waste of 76 min of your time.... thought there was a narrative thread, beginning with the science and then moving toward the atheist thing.. anyway, I don't want to belabor it.. I was thinking about it since I got your first message.. Would like to have a rational discussion with you about why the myths you mention are not as dangerous as the ones we were talking about (I don't think much of Thomas Friedman, but his piece in the NYT today emphasizes to me the point I wanted to make to you).. I also realize good friends can disagree, and discuss their disagreements, and we will, I hope do that.. (Hitchens was a pro at having a broad range of close friends he completely disagreed with). anyway, at least you didn't have to buy a ticket to watch it.:) On May 8, 2013, at 10:36 AM, Jeffrey Epstein [email protected]> wrote: Watched every nauseating moment , like watching a car wreck hoping that some small signs fnintelligent life would emerge , but alas ..d.o.a. ....shameful more painful than a home movie of john
