I clicked on this vid to learn something about Alan Moore. Result: Alan Moore is a very good and genuine listener.

If the majority in control of our lives were even half as sharp and engaged in what matters as this chap the social world would be a hell of a lot better place. He seems like just a comic who couldn't care less really, but the truth of it is he employs satire, absurdity and reverie as a shield to protect the victims of his penetratingly scathing social commentary and criticism, to prevent us all from reducing to cinder ash on a first hearing. Thank you, even faberandfaber.

I agree, usually, due to Alan Moore’s work being rather dark and grim, along with his hatred of modern pop culture, I used to think he was a stereotypical “grouchy old man/kids today” type of guy although I respect, appreciate and like him now, I used to be kinda afraid of him, because I thought that he projected a standoffish air about him. But interviews like this, showed and made me realise, that he’s actually a witty, intelligent, funny, kind, eccentric man, that I’d love to maybe one day interview him, and chat for endless hours with about comic books someday.

Anyone that Alan Moore vouches for is worth my time. Going to have to get myself into Stewart Lee! Alan, I'm convinced, is a nearly unparalleled talent in writing and creative arts and one of our genuine geniuses.

7:46 can't believe it! Just seen By Design in the comments section of KZread eating cornflakes. They looked depressed.

I just came back here from the new version/follow up of this conversation, on the Guardian channel. I found it very worthwhile and just as relevant as when I 1st listened, and maybe even slightly more-so, both, in conjunction with the recent talk (incl. the anecdotes they repeat!), as well as the time passed inbetween. Geeez, I benefit from listening to these two so immensely - listening to their observations fully evaporates any doubts I may have had about my "approach to", understanding of, and interactions with 'Reality'. Phew!! And it's very good fun!

It's great to see person centered counselling in action

Found this by accident, bloody good viewing...

When Pop Will Eat itself sung “ Alan Moore knows the score “ in 1989 , I’d no idea whom he was and spent the following 20 years believing they were actually referring to Alan Ball - cos he did a tv show with Greavsie or someone from football - and needed to know the score at all times when commenting on highlights of games.....

So light is information? Nah.. Information is already there , like darkness. We ought to start teaching logic, logic fallacies and psychological biases and the scientific method in school and let people sort information by themselves and be skeptical enough of every opinions and fact. Up till now we have been relying on people to get it right for us and that went predictably wrong. Now people need to sort their own information and they haven´t got the tools.

Notes: He likes to write fictional opinions, in the knowledge that some people will take them seriously, so the inevitably ludicruous responses become the punchlines for his real audience. 2:14 Alan: The term "content provider" implies the relationship between the artist and the art is kind of like the relationship between pig lips and sausages. It's a hurtful term, but it's probably accurate. Alan: Any form is never more interesting than when you are breaking it in some was, or dismantling it [or exploring its limits]. 4:50 Stewart: There's a set of expectations about what a newspaper column is, that you either confirm or deny. [Ways you deny them...] Part of the fun was that this was a different audience to his stand-up. The uninitiated would stumble across the newspaper articles, and react. 29:24 Alan: People's grip upon reality seems a bit precarious. I sometimes wonder if we're doing them a kindness with all of this fiction, or is it just confusing them more? They agree that reality has now encroached on the territory of satire, leaving traditional satire nowhere to stand. 33:55 Alan: Your style of comedy is a bit like a kamikaze pilot who is relentlessly plowing into the deck of the aircraft carrier that he's been launched from. Self-aware literature (Voyage autour de ma chambre). Some discussion about TV, and how the satire of The Day Today perhaps cemented and propelled the burgeoning trends in television news. 44:00 Playing the part of a hack journalist, out of necessity. kzread.info/dash/bejne/m62oqaqsZLHNkZM.html

Speaking of content providers there’s a very funny scene in the Detectorists, when a so-called reporter comes to the pub to interview his subject and spends 30 seconds saying well ill write this and I’ll write that and say that you did this and say that you did that and then leaves. because he’s got a story he doesn’t want the Content . he’s just providing the content that he’s made up himself,! It’s really brilliant. Sorry can’t understand Alan Moore s words
