Mostly, but not always, the topics deal with what some people might describe as serious issues, which some might find depressing, unduly taxing on their concentration or offensive to their present world view. Such people are probably better to give this program a miss.

The program necessarily addresses existential, political, historical, philosophical, sociological and scientific issues of my choosing and no doubt, loaded with my personal biases. The purpose of is to encourage or facilitate people to think about the issues presented, for which I offer no apology for those who are offended.

Some of the literatures (poems, speeches, myths and documents) are also very long, which makes the oral presentation difficult and causes errors. It also can tax the concentration and interest of readers. For that reason, I have sometimes read only part of the relevant literature and summarised the content of the excised parts.
