Richard Feynman on The Difference Between Boys and Girls, and Religion.

And listen to Ariel Bissett talking about how she couldn't finish The Wind-up Bird Chronicles, because the central character had no agency, as she so eloquently puts it.

Now listen to Amy Purdy talking about her own life, and how, at various times, she asked herself the question "If my life was a book, and I was the author, how would I want the story to go?"

Now listen to Feynman talking about Religion, and why, as he says, he can't believe the special stories that have been made up about our relation to the Universe.
