Member-only story
We just do not know
Brian Cox is one of my favorite personalities on social media. He’d probably be offended by how I just referred to him — a social media personality. He’s a physicist.
Or maybe he wouldn’t be offended. Just now, as I started writing this story I opened Wikipedia and read about Brian. Turns out he’s a musician too! I remember very well the early 1990s song “Things can only get better”. Brian was part of the band behind the song (D: Ream).
Clearly, he is a very versatile character. Also, I can’t imagine Brian being offended by anything. He’s so likable, respectful, and positive that I just can’t imagine any negative situation around his personality. This video — I originally came across it on Instagram — is a great example of Brian’s demeanor.
It wasn’t my intention to spend this much time complimenting Brian! My story is more about the discussion in the video above, the eternal debate about whether there is God. Brian says he doesn’t believe in God but then explains why it’s not worthwhile antagonizing…
