Damnable daydreamer Brendan Hughes attempts to invent a new religion for the 21st century agnostic using obscure scientific trivia, personal medical records, ontological diagrams, sociological arcana, whimsical apocrypha, the oxford comma, and jokes. This is the first of a series of informative lectures on delightfully fascinating arcana which, considered en toto, creates a unifying constellation of ideas that will leave a crack in the Earth’s crust extending in every direction from Atwater crossing. Metaphorically speaking.
Hughes has been described as the abandoned lovebaby of Jon Hodgman and Jad Abumrad, tied by the ankle to a tree, found and raised by Eddie Izzard, kidnapped and hypnotized by Ken Wilbur, and finally deprogrammed by Wikipedia’s entry on Bob Newhart.
