dawkins is going to surprise the audience with the stunning release of his new book on lacan: "God is unconscious" wherein he details his shock at realizing that all this time he has actually unconsciously believed in god. in order to rectify this incredible oversight, he will propose the scientific community pour money into the construction of a time machine with the purpose to go back in time to kill freud and therefore his own unconscious and therefore God once and for all.

-extradition deal w/ CIA & aussies. he offers to snoop to avoid being brought to the US for his crimes. those are left to the imagination, i'm afraid.

i dont think that theres any real issue wiith any of the speakers. the comedian is a lil bit smug and richard dawkins once pointed out that thing that made wealthy white women angry but other than that theyre all pretty cool. adam savage and bad religion both pwn

Goethestein was probated until (March 15, 2012 11:22:36) for this post!
