who is the interviewer/questioner? I keep trying to jump around on the broadcast but haven't found the name yet. Looks familiar but I don't know his name. He is amazing.
The cure is street epistemology! Well sort of. The truth is, we need to have difficult, sometimes gentle, sometimes firm conversations with people around us, and ask them questions about what they believe and why to help them think. People who get indoctrinated are usually never taught how to think, and actively discouraged from it, let alone how to have discussions about things with people you disagree with. Just having a gentle conversation like the ones shown in the video that are not focused on changing their mind, but understanding what they believe, can make a huge difference. People actually start to feel like what they believe matters, they think they have good reasons for their beliefs and are eager to explain why, and so they are more open to talk about these things. They are more willing to learn how and why other people believe differently than them, once they feel comfortable with this kind of discussion.

@@jameswest8280 "find me an honest politician, I'll wait" What a robust and safe space inducing thought ending cliché you have there!

To lose weight and or be healthy, can use 1 simple rule: if it has no fiber, do not eat it. The exception is vitamin b12 supplement which is needed to eliminate animal products (all animal products have 0 fiber). Can eliminate refined substances like oil, sweeteners, juice, refined flour, salt, protein powder, etc. A healthy eating pattern is cheap staple food (sweet potato, potato, taro, yam, and or whole grains) plus some vegetables (do mostly soups bec fiber needs water to work). Cheap staple foods are usually brown rice, red rice, black rice, millet, wheat grains, barley, oat groats, buckwheat, etc. Whole grain noodles, (steamed or baked) whole grain bread (fermented) and whole grain unfermented flat breads are also healthy. For more protein, can eat some beans, peas and lentils. Can soak grains and beans overnight and they will cook fast the next day. To avoid deficiencies, unrefined vegans do need to know which foods are good sources of vitamin d (usually sunshine and or supplement), iodine (seaweeds like nori and wakame), epa/dha (flax seed powder, chia seed, perilla seed and or supplement), vitamin b2, calcium, iron, zinc, etc. There are brands of mushrooms with vitamin d (they shine uvb light on the mushrooms).
Here's roughly what I was TRYING TO SAY in the bit I did get to in my call - If God and Satan ran for President of the United States in 2020, how would you vote? Just to make it more interesting, let's say nobody knew which God. Allah, Yahweh, Wotan, or whatever. A bit dramatic, but I hope this illustrates why we need the option to vote directly against a candidate. I'll get back to that, but first I would like to talk about common sense and common judgement. Exceptionally good judgement is not common. It's exceptional, by definition. Good judgement is probably not common either. It's entirely possible the even reasonable judgement is not common. So if I were to tell you that I think you have common judgement, is that a compliment or an insult? Likewise, good sense if not as common as it should be and very good sense is rather rare. Common sense is over rated. It's always common, but it's rarely sensible. So back to those candidates. Imagine Satan and God were running for President of the USA. Neither one shows up for any debates or makes any personal appearances. Obviously there are people who would vote for whoever nominated by their political party. Let's say in the primaries they ran for the nomination of both the Democratic & Republican parties. Both of them, trying to get nominated for both parties. And neither party had the guts to say no to either. With everybody assuming nobody else can win, would you dare vote for anyone else? What about voting directly against one of them? - I also wanted to talk about how religions influence voters and politicians, and I wanted to mention that there are some good candidate openly running as atheists, which is a good step forward for the atheist community. Atheism is of course not part of their platform, but in a country where you pretty much have to say you're Christian to have a change in an election, this bold new step is needed.

Thank-you for allowing the comments to be open. This reflects well on the ACA.
Thanks for sharing those clips, Tracie!

Timestamp in description is wrong; first call starts at 37:13
Wow, comments are allowed now? Great news :)
I've seen those clips before and loved Tracie's points. Wish I could be at her lecture. There needs to be a "cure" for indoctrination.....

I had to run out for dinner and only caught the first 40 minutes. Glad they put it up on the Tube.
great examples from those clips!

Keith has managed to destroy so much of his credibility that I doubt anything he says.😂
20:10 yay CC! :)
I'm looking forward to Hell. Elvis tells me that you get a better class of person there. :0)
Hell is where all the cool people go.
Our president thinks he's god.
I think he's evil Satan.

I was so looking forward to hearing from Hamish.
Could Keith have gotten any more desperate when his delusions were questioned?
I don't believe in god but Tracie is a goddess.

So I'm not the only one who thinks she's hot!
Just gross...
If it was the Satan of the Bible, I'd vote for him over the God of the Christian Bible. If I had no other choice.

Love the theme song and Tracie is ever so attractive
