Ed. Take care of yourself. I'd be lost without my science fix that looks into the core causes of seemingly inexplicable behavior.

Ed + Tuberculosis = Extremely distinguished voice.

Hope you get well soon Ed.

I like the new voice. It's got that "I have to tell you now that no such undertaking has been received, and that consequently this country is at war with Germany" vibe going on.

Ed, try Ivermectin if you aren't already being treated with it. I'm praying for your recovery.

I can recommend it too. Vit C and Zinc also works a treat.

Some of the worst converts I have ever met were ex-smokers. Far more judgemental than those who have never smoked.

I can only imagine the judgement and hatred from religious converts.

As an ex-communist this is absolutely brutal to read.

So the long and short of it is Bash may well have been doing the same things Smyth did? That sounds a very likely explanation. The big question is was Smyth attracted by Christianity OR had he heard about what was going on at the camps and wanted that?

How true. Converts to Islam are notoriously amongst the most radical and dangerous Muslims.

Thank you for writing on this - quite horrific.

I wonder if there's any associations of smaller less dramatic shifts such as being agnostic to being religious and whether they are associated with positive or negative personality traits?

Get well soon ed.

Tuberculosis can take a long time to show symptoms. If you've been to africa in the past few years that might do it.

Just listened to your intro - get well soon, take the pills, take it easy!

Get well soon. At least we can now compose an Opera with you as the star.
