John's Mirac, my friend, we have a lot to talk about.

We've already been talking about many important things.

Now, we did talk about Camilla Parker Bowles.

We're not going to talk about her anymore.

We're going to talk about Camilla Harris, who's the vice president of the United States,

and she's styled as the Duchess of Sacramento.

Or actually, we don't have to talk about her.

What would you like to talk about?

I'd rather move to more elevated topics.

I've got a piece at stream.org called a pale blue dot, I think not.

And in it, I talk a bit about your book, is atheism dead.

I talk about the book, The Privileged Planet.

Carl Sagan, on the old cosmos from the 1970s and 80s, used to present the vastness and emptiness of the universe

and our small, rather, off-center position in it as proof of human insignificance.

He would say things like, you know, we're on a third-rate planet with a second-tier star
