I am afraid I am not that familiar with him.

You’ll love him, he’s like a big fluffy Santa- looking philosopher.

Oh I heard of him when I left Deism. I watched a talk by him once but don't remember much of the talk.

I Put it on my to do list to become more familiar with his work.

I'm a massive fan of DD & have read a lot of his thought provoking works. As a faithless person I try not to take everything he says on faith (yes even atheists can slip into faith in some 'source of all wisdom'😉 however there's very little I disagree with him (with the possible exception of his idea to call ourselves 'brights' & 'supers' where I'm with Sam Harris - don't call yourself anything.) But I agree with him on the existence of a form of free will - it just isn't what most people imagine it to be.

He's great. I've conversed with him on email, and he's very friendly and approachable.

That’s good to hear. He does seem like he would be friendly.

Watched a few of his debates. The four horseman were great.
