Another Q217 video. In other news, I have a student editor who has been coming in and working on the mountain of footage we shot for the next RPG adventure. It looks as though that will come in at around four hours of finished material, in the not-very-distant future. I see that Patreon has, for cre

Q59: If you were given the power to control the world's medical research, what would you do? Would you save yourself? What is the priority? Slightly click-baity title, I know, sorry. Should world medical research be centrally controlled? (YouTube)

This one hasn't aged well. Should we avoid the afflicted? (YouTube)

Perfect parity is presumably impossible, but is it better to the brighter and more beautiful of the pair? I hope you all appreciate that I managed to get all the way through this video without once using the word 'hypergamy'. Why marry someone cleverer and better-looking than you? (YouTube)

This one is, I freely admit, somewhat click-baity, but my excuse is that the proper title would have got it demonetised by The Algorithm, hence this title instead. If you watch to the end, you'll find that it does become pertinent eventually. Many nice pictures from a recent SOE LARP. Another freebi

I'm sure that you mean well, but please stop. Please do not sing to me in a restaurant (YouTube)

Another Q217. No charge. Possibly, I should have talked about the possible function of gratitude. If showing it does not alter the behaviour of others, what is the point of it? What have we got to be grateful for? (YouTube)

Another Q217. No charge for this one. Editing with DaVinci Resolve is frustrating and slow, but I am improving slightly. More soon. What are good long-term goals, and how can we achieve them? (YouTube)

The first video I ever edited using DaVinci Resolve. This partly explains why production slowed down a lot lately, but I shall speed up as I get used to it. I'm charging for this, the first one of the current batch, but the rest you will get for free. There shall of course be other videos too. In th

I was away for a bit, and had to schedule some videos, so couldn't tell you about them immediately, so this one appears here a bit late. Sorry about that. No, I haven't been offered the part of The Doctor. Might be a poisoned chalice if I were. Would you travel to the future? (YouTube)

Are there people who never sing to themselves? Not many, I hope. Again, no charge for this one. I've done six videos this month, but since they are all fairly short by standards, I've only summoned up enough to cheek to charge for one. Next month, I expect to do a long one on the topic of pain. Are

More from the Q217 series. The perfect lover, friend, and dinner guest (YouTube)

This is accidentally timely, because Parliament is debating this very question. Look out for more Q217s coming very soon. I shall charge for only one of them. Is assisted suicide murder? (YouTube)

I've just recorded another six of the Q217 series. These will come out on YouTube over the next ten days. I haven't decided yet whether to charge for them all. I might charge for one or two only. I know that some of you really like these videos, because you write and tell me, while others are keener

... is not this video - but in this i talk about what other videos might be! Brace yourselves for six of these, one per day all this week. These videos are not as quick to dash off as you might think. I spent a full day designing what for me are fairly click-baity thumbnails, and even these piece-to

Me, rambling on about memory, personality, nature, nurture, alcohol, theatre, what makes a person, peer pressure, formative events, and two - yes TWO! - anecdotes from my own personal past. My most treasured memory (YouTube)

Ask a silly atheist, get... Would you obey what God ordered in a dream? (YouTube)

More of me, wittering on about something or other. Could you kill one for the good of the many? (YouTube)

One last one for the year. Not New Year-themed, though. For a free holiday, would you kill a butterfly? (YouTube)

I think that this is one of my best answers so far. Would you swap lives with anyone? (YouTube)

More from Q217. Watch me squirm as I try to answer this one! Q217 23 infidelity (YouTube)

Back to Q217! I give an explanation for the massive gap at the end. Patrons: is it all right for me to charge you for Q217 videos? Perhaps these are not 'proper' videos, because they require no research. Do let me know. If you too could do voodoo would you do voodoo too? (YouTube)

Will I tell you my deepest feelings? Q217 - Do you prefer being with men or women? (YouTube)

Are death-duties a good idea? Q217 - Should your family or the world get your inheritance? (YouTube)

The first of three Q217 videos. Q217 - Love, Death, and Betrayal (YouTube)

Apologies for the potentially misleading thumbnail image, but I noticed that I had the superman curl on my forehead and couldn't resist. What ability would you choose? (YouTube)

When I announced this video on Facebook, my Facebook account was temporarily shut down while I was reprimanded by a bot for breaching Facebook's terms of use. Apparently, I was in breach of its rules on the bullying of individuals, because of the image of a very ugly person. Thing is, the person was

You might guess my short answer to this one, but I ramble a bit, to make it more interesting (at least, that was the plan). Should we choose our children's careers? (YouTube)

Is admiration necessarily idolatry? I suppose one could say that it is not. The comments section seems to be saying that I equated the two things when the distinction is important. Perhaps so, but one becomes the other when it is the person and not the person's skills or deeds that become the object

I went away to Poland for a while, and scheduled various posts to appear here in my absence. I regret to report, that upon my return, I see that none of them worked. None worked in Facebook either. Oh well. The next of the Q217 series. Q217: Q14 Professionally successful or privately happy? (YouTube

Will I turn out to be a 'party animal', do you think? Q217 - Q13: What is a perfect evening? (YouTube)

Another of the Q217 videos that was scheduled to be published while I was away in Helsinki doing another show. Some major digression in this one. Q217 - Q12: Healthy body or healthy mind? (YouTube)

I was away for a week, but was able to set up four videos in advance to be published while I was away, but this means that you get them announced here all in one go. There isn't a feature to schedule announcements in Patreon (yet). [UPDATE: Yes, there now is a feature to schedule posts. I'll try to

Not the video I would have chosen to release while the 'Google memo' controversy is still filling the internet with outrage, but the only one I have ready to go. I made a video about Dunkirk two weeks ago, fifty minutes long, and have been trying to get it published ever since, and am now close to g

How optimistic am I? Fairly, for humanity in general. Things tend to get better. Q217- Q7: Is there hope for the future? (YouTube)

Perhaps being a solo champion isn't so great. Q217 - Q8: For the team, or for individual glory? (YouTube)

I think you can probably guess the short answer. Q217 - Q9: Would you emigrate for a million dollars? (YouTube)

I sat down yesterday and in one continuous take did questions 5-8. I actually felt a bit light-headed at the end from mild hyperventilation. Still, got each of them done without having to do any retakes. Here's number 5: Q217 - Q5: Is a potential cure worth the risk of death? (YouTube)
