How amazing to hear about the people in your own life came to draw out your story. I feel very privileged to have known and played with a young girl with Downs’ Syndrome. And, so, I was fascinated to connect with the characters in your “community noir” :-). Thank you so much for your writing. I recently read your 2nd in the Matthew Venn series and enjoyed it immensely. I discovered that I’d been missing these characters very much. And I’ve also read a couple of the 4th series (or was it a first series)? Yours in Gratitude

This book makes me want to write my own version of four opportunities for the living of my own life. I went through those years myself and I like to see them reflected in Auster. I wish he had lived longer.

Thank you so much for your books and for the philosophy they impart. I try very hard to practice what I refer to as the AMS method of dealing with people. Reaching out and being kind because I don't know what they are dealing with and I have found it to be so relaxing to practice this and it's all because of you. Our daughter visited the Vanola Crolla store when she was in Edinbough recently and brought back a signed copy of The Perfect Passion Company. I am just finishing some of one of your other books so as soon as I finish that I will start on that book.. Olivia told my daughter that you are a very nice man and stop in there all the time and that you had managed to include her in one of your 44 Scotland Street books. I look forward to reading more of your books.

I've had the conversation with many a Christian, that they are missing out on the fascinating drama, e.g. in Genesis, by reading it as if it's actual history (a truly preposterous notion). For example, if you believe God is perfect and never made a mistake (as I've often heard), you then have to somehow ignore that God spends pretty much the whole of Genesis blundering through and having to negotiate with his creation of Mankind (brilliant stories). Likewise, almost every Christian I've chatted with says the bible has mo contradictions, so I tell them to please go home and carefully read the short story of Noah's Ark that they know so well, perhaps take notes, and get back to me. Sometimes i supply three questions: How many of each animal went onto the Ark? How many days passed between Niah and co getting on board and the rain starting? For how many days did it rain? Often, the response is an enthusiastic "Yes, I'll read it tonight." Not a single Christian has ever reported back to me.

13:48 This actually makes me really sad. I don't think he meant it to come off this way, but basically he's been so harassed and brow beaten and ignored that he has learned that most of the time when he says "No" he might as well just say "Yes" and save himself the time and energy. That's pretty F-d up if you think about it. I'm glad he's managed to see all the positive aspects in it, and for that particular anecdote he made a friend out of it and was retroactively glad he had done it, but I still don't think that justifies other people's behavior.

Is this the guy who doesn’t believe races are different? Look how different he looks to the interviewer! No such thing as race?? How can anyone take someone like this seriously? Many scientists have been called out the last 5 years and rightfully so. We should do our best to challenge these ideologues.

You are misrepresenting what he says. He says that there are many differences between people and between groups of people, but that none of those differences map to racial categories. Geneticists can't find any evidence that any of the various definitions of races map to actual humans. When you look at claims about racial differences closely, they fall apart. Genes that allow adults to drink milk exist in many groups defined as different "races". Genes for specific skin tones exist in many groups defined as different "races". Genes that cause sickle cell anemia exist in many groups defined as different "races". There are no bundles of separate racial characteristics within human populations. So - lots of differences, but no races. The whole theory of race has been soundly debunked. If you want to "call out" scientists, you'd better have some actual facts to back up your claims. Saying "hey, this guy looks different from the person interviewing him, so that proves that the theory of race is correct" is just ignorant. There are no actual facts in your attack on Rutherford, while he has a mountain of high quality research backing up everything he says.

Of course, it can't tell you if that person is transgender or not, because that doesn't exist as a biological reality.

@@ericarn You don't understand how evolution works. Darwin showed that if organisms are in different environments, then their offspring are selected for that environment. The environment drives evolution, not genes. Darwin had no concept of genes, and the theory of natural selection does not need genes to work, no more than Faraday's laws of electromagnetism requires knowledge of electrons to be a correct theory (Faraday had no more idea of electrons than Darwin did of genes)

Deep frying my mix tapes! I would have died. I left a bunch from my best friend in the auditorium mezzanine in high school where I was hiding out by myself during a free period, but had taken a wander and didn't make it back to my stuff before I had to go to my next class. I didn't remember until the next day. Never saw them again. Gutted.

Jeanette brought some interesting facts/ideas which I was not aware of, e.g. that modern humans have been around only for 200,000y, or the bit that humans and machines might eventually merge to create new “species”. I mean I saw it in sci-fi, but this hit differently. One thing I realized while watching this video was that there were no ads on it, which probably comes from the fact that Jeanette swears with passion. I love it haha. I disagree with “the future is okay because I believe the next generation is going to take care of it”. I am 26, so probably a bit older than what was meant by that statement, but still, I don’t see how anything can be changed without the older generation taking a stance themselves. Thanks a lot for the talk, it was a lovely hour✨

Me ha fascinado la serie outlander! Siempre me ha interesado la historia y las antiguas civilizaciones” la felicito por sus libros y plasmar en la pantalla la historia de los mismos….. me ha parecido un viaje en el pasado remoto, muy fascinante como atraves de la historia nos damos cuenta que la humanidad siempre regresa alas guerras, para conquistar. Y la maguia de la naturaleza siempre a existido. Solo los libros son los mejores iluminadores para el que busca respuestas.
