Forum idea

[kellyb]

Could we interview people from time to time, like ATS did here?

http://www.abovetopsecret.com/forum/thread976579/pg1

Note the admin message at the bottom of the first post in bold, about "admin note: This is the "real" Dr. Aquino and he is our invited guest and is graciously giving his time to our community, respect and politeness are mandatory. " etc.

Interesting idea!
(I would have liked to hear what Dr. Aquino thought of the book Psywar on Cuba: The Declassified History of U.S. Anti-Castro Propaganda, but Oct. 14, 2013 was a long time ago. I'm not really interested in satanism.)

Out of nosiness, whom did you have in mind and how would you propose we get them to turn up and participate?

Kinda like a Reddit AMA? (Not necessarily "anything" though)

Off the top of my head, Sam Harris the most.

A skeptic Q & A with Michael Aquino sounds cool, too, honestly.

NDT, of course.

Noam Chomsky.

More suggestions:

Peter M. Sandman and Jody Lanard (look them up, y'all!)

Temple Grandin

Sounds like a great idea.

Not sure how possible it would be logistically. How do we go about motivating people to show up to be interviewed?

Email them and ask them. If they've written books or are about to release one, they'll generally be interested.

[as admin] Sounds like a good idea, as ever get it organized and let the mod team know what we can do to help make it happen.

Embed video

Embed video

You can do that with YouTube videos by wrapping the YT url in tags like this:

" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen>

 

[novaphile]

Or...

You could just embed the last part, the bit after the 'v=' of the youtube URL in the tags, like this...

Ignore this post I am quoting. This does not work. To see how it does work see the post that is between my post and the one I am quoting.

Quite right - both sides have to be capitalised. Dunno how I missed that.

No, that doesn’t matter. You put the whole URL in, when it only needs the trailing ID, after the “v=“.

I have no idea who any of these people are. Why would they be of interest to skeptics?

 

[Timur]

how about the Objectivist society?

 

[johny76239]

I'd be happy to hear other people opinions. Nice idea.

 

[arthwollipot]

This kind of thing has been proposed before, and everybody seems pretty supportive of the idea, but for some reason it just never seems to happen.

It's the animémosnos y vayan approach ("let's gather courage for you to confront it").

Also the muchos caciques y pocos indios syndrome ("many chieftains and a few ordinary indians").

Where else than a webforum for baby boomers and a bit younger folks to behave as irresponsibly as milennials?
