So the other day I started making a list of videos I have planned (which are at various degrees of development). --------------------------------------------------------------- Interview with Lawrence Krauss (postponed) How to spend a billion dollars.. What can you really buy with a billion dollars. Hubble cost average American 3 bux Climate change videos 1) how much bioenergy...

Climate change videos 1) how much bioenergy to run man kinds biology compared to civilization compared to global warming flux 2) heat flow on planet earth 3) changing the volume of the oceans I like all of them, good ideas :) Why do people laugh at creationists 1) giants – nephilimfree 2) Atmosphere -ian juby 3) What is science -ken ham Noah’s arc theme park Number 3) sounds interesting to me. Debunk radioactive bullshit 1) Depleted uranium 2) is it safe off Fukushima Both of them are good, but to 2) you should also feature the claim that Fukushima is constantly leaking radioactive water into the ocean (many thousand liters a day as some say) Debunk homeopathy (pico second qm simulation of water) Is that REALLY needed !? If it is, go ahead and make a video about it soon! Remaster why do people laugh at creationists videos I'd like you to explain that a little more, but sounds good Anita sarkeesian master’s thesis and why having a ponytail is sexist -Full reason why having gender bias in top field is probably nothing to do with sexism Please do that!

My self, i am very passionate about disproving Anita Sarkeesian, being a big gamer. But the climate change video would be my vote. There are other sources for all of these video but i do really want your "explain it for simple minds" approach to those issues. Your video's have given me alot of good examples to discuss with friends as they are generally easier for them to follow then my rambling :P.

Take it easy on Laci. While Laci is misguided in regards to her feminism, her intent isn't malicious. She isn't intentionally lying or playing a victim. She sees the inequality and isn't seeing all the causes. There are some issues with true fairness between genders still. She just hasn't been exposed to the full picture. In your palcohol video I was completely on board until about the 8 minute mark. Then you just seemed to be trying to discourage any open conversation about the misinformation. But just interested in sparking an argument. If you had stopped at around 8 minute mark you would have been 100% spot on from my perspective.

[How to spend a billion dollars.. What can you really buy with a billion dollars. Hubble cost average American 3 bux] Will this be on a similar topic as Dr Bjorn Lomborg and the Copenhagen Consensus Center (what's the best way to spend money for good causes) or will this be about the wonders of Hubble? Either way sounds interesting. Bjorn's, author of "The Skeptical Environmentalist", recent talk at Google: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W3JZ1j5R8SI" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W3JZ1j5R8SI</a> [Climate change videos 3) changing the volume of the oceans] Could be interesting. [Debunk Laci green feminist bullshit on feminism] Always enjoy it when you debunk bs, so yes. [Why do people laugh at creationists 3) What is science -ken ham Noah’s arc theme park] Small prioritizing over the other WDPLAC choices but this one would be most interesting. [Debunk radioactive bullshit 1) Depleted uranium 2) is it safe off Fukushima] Yes and yes please! [Scientific research on Noah’s Flood- what happens to a plant under water for a year Watching the go around the Sun (year in time lapse)] Although I don't think any more debunking on Noah's Flood is needed it's something I thought about as a Christian when I was younger. A one-year time lapse would be awesome. [Debunk homeopathy (pico second qm simulation of water)] Not necessary [Who is thunder foot – scientific research] Would be intereting! [Remaster why do people laugh at creationists videos] This would be nice but you could space it out. Not the most important. [Anita sarkeesian master’s thesis and why having a ponytail is sexist -Full reason why having gender bias in top field is probably nothing to do with sexism] Yes! I'd love this! Make sure to ground it in research (links in description...) cause even though postmodernists and feminists would ignore it at first, it's the slow but steady drop that carves the stone. [call rationalwiki out on its comical degree of social justice warrior BS.] Definitely! (This comment section seems to be crap, no linebreaks...)

The new WDPLAC and a take down of rational wiki are in order I think. RW reads like Conservapedia to me. .. which is scary. I'm also down to find out what happens if you get hit by a meteorite.

They all sound great, But it has to Homeopathy! That's always a rib tickler ;)

I agree with Dom, make a video debunking the idea that depleted uranium, whether as a weapon, armor, or shattered rounds left on the battlefield are dangerous due to radioactivity. As for climate change, it has always bothered me that the focus is on carbon dioxide, as if it is the sole greenhouse gas on earth. To me something that makes up 380 so parts per million of the atmosphere, no matter how potent a greenhouse gas, could account for the project warming. So, if you could make a video that explains how such a miniscule amount of CO2 can have such a big impact.

Had the same issue. It formats correctly on my Patreon home page though.

I'd like to hear you talk about: Nuclear waste disposal, reasonable and unreasonable concerns about them. - I'm assuming there are reasonable concerns -

I'd like to see some more Religion based videos.

How about a video debunking the modern self appointed Fauxminists and celebrating the actual good job that prior feminists have done? I don't think continuing to refer to them as feminists just because they themselves do is really helping anybody. They're harming the cause of feminism. Feminism still has work to do, perhaps not so much in USA/Europe/PerhapsEvenRussia, but there are many places on earth where so much work is still being done. Battling the Professionally Oppressed doesn't seem like a winning strategy on it's own, as the moderates they may appeal to will need replacement heroes if you manage to break through to them. I'm certainly no expert, but I bet there are a good number of extremely dedicated men and women who are out there everyday fighting for equality. I would like to know what they think of sinkholes like Sarkeesian.

Phil, I just happened across this: <a href="http://www.skeptic.com/eskeptic/14-05-21/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">http://www.skeptic.com/eskeptic/14-05-21/</a>#feature So, you should let Melody know that civilian PTSD can be cured completely in one 50 minute session after reading "Dr." Shapiro's instructions. Hmm, I wonder if a placebo worked on informal tests exactly because the subjects had psychosomatic PTSD and not the real thing?

Alamandorious

Hmmm...I'd love to see a video on a recent scientific discovery of some form, perhaps relating to your fields?

Andrew Demos

Climate Change all the way. Perhaps you should humiliate some of the key denial blogger if you get a chance. :)

They all look good to me, but I'd like to see stuff on climate change and radioactivity.

I am so with Nicholas Stevenson on this 1.

I'd like to see more videos supporting the facts behind evolution. I'm in the middle of Why Evolution is True by Jerry Coyne for the second time, and the case is so strong in so many areas, that you could literally pick any one of them (fossil record, DNA, etc.) and make a video on it. Better yet would be to do a 7 minute overview of all of the highlights so that the average kid in the Bible Belt can get it pretty quickly, and understand the truth. I know you've covered this in the past, but there is so much there to work with! Thanks for all you do.

* Climate change videos In general, Potholer covered that. I'd like to see an outline of what others have covered well, with shoutouts to them. Make what's already good and posted not forgotten! Then, see what still needs to be covered. * Debunk Laci green feminist bullshit on feminism I'm not interested except as calling BS on whatever topic is going around. But, I worry about that being too "at the moment". I want videos to be useful as resources for years to come. So, any "at the moment" call-out should be quick and not requiring much work, or make sure it Teaches to Fish as well, using the timely topic as a major example. HOW do you tell if something is BS? Have an answer such as a series of points and subpoints, and use that when scripting so that the lessons are consistent and repeated. * Why do people laugh at creationists That's your claim to fame. There's someone else going over Ian Juby's stuff, so give him a shout-out rather than saying the same thing. That's more time for other examples. * Debunk radioactive bullshit Since that is along the lines of your personal expertise, you can do this more authoratively than the random skeptic. So I think it's an area you should concentrate on. * How does a drinking bird work Hasn't that been done like a million times already? * sodium potassium alloy stuff Yes, for sure need cool science stuff and explosions to draw people in, rather than only telling them they're idiots. You have the footage and/or are working on that anyway, so that's a no-brainer. As for the ACTUAL result, your original research, that should indeed be posted as a video for the populus, not just in ArXiv. I'm also personally interested in how to make metalic sodium at home, explaining why the Na and Cl are dispursed in the water but can't be segregated, but a current separates the H and O... and melting the salt and running a current _will_ separate them, but the melting point is rather high, but lye can work at a pizza-oven temperature... how it was done originally by the pioneers of chemestry and with what primitive equitpment? * Make cesium thermometer I definitely want one. * Debunk homeopathy (pico second qm simulation of water) James Randi and others have debunked it rather well already. Science videos on water behavior at the atomic level would be cool by itself. Water is people's exemplar of a fluid because we use it so much, but it is really very strange in so many ways. I've seen lists of hundreds of anomalous properties of water in different categories. The way the molecules make transient structures is neet. That is something not available a few years ago, so it's great to bring out. BTW, I'd be happy to help with the number crunching, on my hex core 4GHz water cooled rig. * Getting drunk science – monitor blood alcohol level in resting and physically hard working thunderf00t I saw that on Mythbusters. The treadmill was funny. * Remaster why do people laugh at creationists videos Yes. * 2) comparison of car crash stats and rules and regulations with guns Interesting. Generally, teach people to objectivly relate "something scary" with "something mundane". Like the Banana-equivilent radiation dosage (e.g. 40 gallons of 'tainted' milk equals one normal banana. Your baby eats bananas...) * call rationalwiki out on its comical degree of social justice warrior BS. Yea, people need to know which information sources are good or bad, to develop a web of trust and learn to recognise signs of what to distrust.
