Why do I make videos, anyway? (rambly...) RabidApe 2011-09-27 | Just trying to get in the swing of things again. Sorry, it's a quick capture (I lost my editing software), but I got a new camera finally! Why do I make videos? To paraphrase Sam Harris, I want my atheism to fade into the background, and I want to merely be a person who destroys bad ideas wherever he finds them - whatever form they might take. I don't have time to watch very many videos AT ALL these days, so I don't have a lot of ideas at the moment (most of my past videos have been direct or indirect responses to other videos and comments). Sam Harris on the "dangers" of atheism: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3KG5s_-Khvg ("11:55 - 12:27. There's the meat.

OVER NINE THOUSAND km/hour crash into the moon! (to find water?!) RabidApe 2009-07-14 | Last month, the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter launched to the Moon. It is a precursor mission to sending humans back to the Moon - permanently, this time! (as in rotating crews like the ISS) It's also carrying a very interesting "secondary" mission called LCROSS (Lunar CRater Observation and Sensing Satellite), which will help answer the question "Is there water on the Moon?", which has the potential to be an invaluable resource for future lunar missions. This video is compiled from two press briefs, which covered both LRO and LCROSS. This video focuses on LCROSS. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lunar_Reconnaissance_Orbiter Official LRO site: http://lro.gsfc.nasa.gov Official LCROSS site: http://lcross.arc.nasa.gov/index.htm original videos (includes plenty of good stuff about LRO!): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D-GXjR_CZSE http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Y9GRFdercM
RabidApe Channel Policy Clarification re: BLOCKING RabidApe 2009-06-20 | 99% of all blocks are temporary. Consider yourself "grounded". The amount of comments that get deleted is virtually zero. Comment deletion is basically restricted to obvious spam, personal information, or advocating violence. I DO NOT DELETE COMMENTS OF PEOPLE I AM ACTUALLY ARGUING WITH. Being blocked from a particular channel does NOT violate your "free speech" rights because YOU STILL HAVE YOUR CHANNEL AND CAN POST ALL OF THE VIDEOS YOU WANT. A quick glance on any of my videos will demonstrate that I don't block people JUST for disagreeing with me. Engaging with "dissent" is part of my primary motivation here. I have also embraced a tactic outlined by FakeSagan (whose methods and positions I tend to disagree with): If I see you say something REALLY stupid and/or hateful on another channel, I just might take the time to block you before you even make it over to my channel. If I "pre_blocked" you, you definitely earned it. But that will also be temporary as outlined in the video.

The Origin of Species 01.a - Chapter 1 (part a) RabidApe 2009-05-14 | Help an Ape out and buy this .mp3 for a buck (change the quantity to increase the amount if feeling generous): paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=5429192 Get it here for free if you're broke like me: http://rabidape.net/origin/origin01.a.mp3 I WILL DO A REMASTER/PRONUNCIATION FIX WHEN IT IS ALL DONE. PLEASE POINT OUT ANY ERRORS AS I GO! Follow along with the text: http://www.talkorigins.org/faqs/origin/chapter1.html This is the first part of the first chapter of Origin of Species. I think it is VERY conceivable that I can do one whole chapter a week for the next 14 weeks in order to finish the book. I can make one or more (LONG) video(s) for each chapter. No, this will not keep me from getting the Big Bang thing done this summer, OR all those video responses I promised (which are on a list and ARE on the way!). For the sake of transparency and consistency, I cannot make any promises about specific amounts (you'll just have to trust me), but the more people throw me a buck for a given chapter, the more likely/more soon the next one will be. ;D If enough brave souls can throw $14 at me, I will GREATLY hasten the project. I CAN promise that anyone who gives me $14 (or more) will get a dollar back for every week I don't post a new chapter.

The 2009 T.A.G VoteBot Recovery Plan RabidApe 2009-04-30 | http://www.youtube.com/user/ToddAllenGates long story short: This awesome guy got votebotted. PLEASE go through this playlist and uprate every video. It will probably take about ten minutes: http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=E8A9A42ADBACB333 ****************************** Details: Todd is one of the most underappreciated 'Tubers there is. He is the author of "Dialogue with a Christian Proselytizer". His videos are consistently clear and concise. I think he epitomizes the idea of cool, calm, collected - but irresistably persuasive. He's a nice guy. And he got hit by votebots recently. As a favor, I ask you to help counter the votebot attack by going through this list and 5-starring as many of the videos as you can. The list is everything on his channel as of today. You can just rate and move on to the next one. Let's show that votebotting is not just deplorable, but "counterproductive'! Here are three good examples of the kind of videos he does, if you need convincing. ;D : "When science contradicts Scripture: how theists cope" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=py48Lb495ew "Obama's Christianity: why it might be sincere, why it might not, and why it might not matter" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xuwYtg3RjuI "Details of "Dialogue with a Christian Proselytizer" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FYKNo8hcGEI
