Hi everybody, I'm Dennis Prager. This is the Fireside Chat every week. I come into your life,

which right now is a different life for all of us. This is my home, this is my study, my dog,

my fireplace, and I've been spending a lot of time here for the last few weeks because there's

all lives require roadmaps to move forward. Tom Lewis, in his fantastic story, Solid Ground,

outlines a journey for life that can inform us all. That's the president of Arizona State.

So I just wanted you to know about this. This is a perfect time to read, by the way, because there's

not much else you can do. Except watch all Fireside chats, binge on Fireside chats and Prager U videos.

So I have a few thoughts I want to share with you. Where is that sheet of people?

Apparently, it was the usual amount of criticism and mockery of comments that I made about science and

scientists. Virtually every Prager U video gets a fair number of negative comments. People who don't
