It's with sadness I learned today that Sir Jonathan Miller CBE (pictured on the far right) has died, a clearly super-intelligent man, a polymath perhaps with careers in Medicine, Entertainment, Media and Comedy, he also authored several books. I remember watching a TV series he did called "Atheism: A Rough History of Disbelief" many years ago, before "Atheism" as a cultural "thing" was popularized by the likes of Richard Dawkins and Christopher Hitchens. That program was instrumental in me sorting out what I thought about certain things and opened my mind to looking into the philosophical viewpoint of skepticism. An inspirational chap, a real talent.
