I agree completely with you, he is captivating to watch and listen too.. i love the wee bit at the end where he’s analysing his own popularity.. at that point i almost feel like he’s telling me off personally for finding him so captivating. So many little themes like that resonate with little thoughts of Jesus..

My little soundbites from what i can remember: (with hack-jobs of paraphrases)
- he’s talking about belief and making statements and poking fun at some philosophers trying to talk about a bottle of ice tea. He reckons that when the ancients talked about things like ice tea and God, their presuppositions and hypotheses were built into what they were saying – there wasn’t a compulsive need to sound hyper-tentative
- the opening speech at the beginning of the film – the sheer emptiness of the rest of space – “the quantum blip”.. final conclusion of that bit messes with my head though!
- i think i’ve caught that there’s a big theme about enjoyment and capitalism and how it functions as a system.. but i’m nowhere near being able to articulate it..
- “making me popular is an attempt at trying not to take me seriously”

don’t know if that’s any help to you neal. isn’t he fascinating. of course i’m not nearly smart enough to get half of what he says, bu tlike you say, there’s enough in the soundbites to keep you feeding for a month. and his passion is undeniable. he never finishes where you think he will; he starts off talking about guantanamo bay and ends up discusing toilets via hitchcock movies! there’s something definitely hypnotic about his presentation style that i love and i think the work he is doing in attempting to bridge the gap between theism and atheism is really important.
