I have never heard a more eloquent speaker. He is a joy to listen to whether you agree with him or not.

How refreshing. As long as there are men like this maybe there is still some hope for our species.

Grayling seem to pick up where Russell left off in more than one fundamental way, and I applaud him for that. I hope he, too, will fruitfully and progressively challenge the parts of our thinking that just don't add up (and that's a lot!) and attract more people to good philosophy.<br>He may not remind me of why I first fell in love with philosophy, but he sure reminds me of why I'm staying in it!

This has the single most important quality for any talk on any matter, in my opinion, and that is this: during this talk, I was presented to with many perspectives on science and religion that I had never considered in that precise way before, that I know I will be thinking many of his points over again for a long time to come.<br><br>Rather often, talks on science and religion are certainly entertaining, but don't give you anything new to chew on. This was a very interesting presentation.

21:22 wow I love that word<br><br>I have read his books. he writes like he talks here, his books are very easy to read because they have the rhythm of a conversation like he dictated his books, even the parentheses, you can hear it in this talk lol

This man is what it means to be human. Listen and learn. Only my opinion but heartfelt nonethe less.

@CallanPage I believe a correct term for FeelOfFriction is, Hard to Follow Speaker. I myself am having a hard time following AC Grayling but the stuff that I have pick up have been very... Awesome.
