This Sunday our featured presentation will be a TED talk available on YouTube (about 18 minutes long) by Hannah Gadsby, a lesbian comedian from Australia who gained world attention with her Netflix special, Nanette. Reflecting on the purpose of her humour, she said, ‘I have built a career out of self-deprecating humour, and I don’t want to do that anymore. Because do you understand what self-deprecation means when it comes from somebody who already exists in the margins? It’s not humility. It’s humiliation.’ Helen Lenskyj, a Toronto Oasis participant and past speaker on several occasions, will introduce the video and moderate the discussion. Helen is Professor Emerita, University of Toronto, where she taught sociology.

This Sunday our featured presentation will be a YouTube video talk (about 31 minutes long) by Nathan H. Lents about his book “Human Errors”. Dan Cooperstock, who has read the book, will give us a quick intro and facilitate a discussion about the topic after we watch the video together. According to Dan, while the book does not explicitly state that it is a refutation of the “intelligent design” approach of Biblical creationists, it certainly achieves that! Different sections of the book explain the many problems with various aspects of our body, our diet, our DNA, our reproduction, diseases, and mental errors, and the evolutionary explanations for them.

Dan Cooperstock is the Toronto Oasis Treasurer, an atheist Quaker, and a software entrepreneur, writing and selling software for churches and charities.
