Why I Turned Down Working With Richard Dawkins

Added 2025-01-01 05:23:25 +0000 UTC

I’ve been planning this video since at least August. To be honest, the anxiety I had in making it was pretty awful. As I predicted, there’s been quite a negative reaction from the audience who only watches for my occasional atheist-arguments content (read: contrarian “skeptic” men). I’m ok with that, but it’s still not fun to read so many negative and insulting messages/comments.

I don’t expect Dawkins to respond in any way, as the level of influence I have is not consequential to him. Other skeptic/atheist/agnostic people might respond or retaliate though. Andrew Gold has already invited me on his channel (as long as I have him on mine too) to talk about this topic, but I’ve always had the policy that sold-out agitators and extremists like him are best ignored. I suppose we’ll have to wait and see if this episode is over or will drag on.

Thank you all for the support this month, but especially on this video. A few new people are here as a result of this one, and I really appreciate that. I’ll do my absolute best to earn your confidence and support in 2025.
