Thanks for the information. I came to your Channel for the Post Office scandal but have stayed because I have become fascinated by what thought processes could motivate people to behave in the way that they do.

I’m 56 years old and only really understanding critical thinking. This is why I really enjoy your study and breakdown of the post office scandal, and in a more general sense, your method of peeling apart the most important aspects of any subject. Keep up the good work, really enjoying the content.

Paul, I'm a 77 year old former Soldier/ Officer with 30 years service. I am definitely learning a multitude of incredibly interesting aspects of psychology thanks to your videos. Keep up the good work!

Thank you Paul, we are drowning in snake oil, your expertise is helping me to make more sense.

Loving the integrity of your content. Integrity, coupled with insight is rare, sadly.

I hope you have enjoyed making these fascinating Post Office videos. Having watched the testimony of the "people in power", forced to explain themselves to the inquiry, it's been shocking to see the variety of self-delusion and ruthlessness on display. Nearly all the witnesses are trying to tell the uncomfortable truth - but the worst offenders seem unable to come to terms with their own ruthlessness, manipulation of others, and cult-like loyal belief in the infallibility of Post Office, Horizon and Fujitsu computer bods. It strikes me that the witnesses who were "in power" at the time, were largely promoted beyond their competence, given top jobs as a reward for loyalty and long service, despite lacking relevant experience, intelligence or even understanding of what they and their organisation were actually doing - let alone the morality of it. So many years spent shamelessly glorying in their deceit, manipulation and punishment of postmasters for even daring to think the emperor had no clothes.

Paul, don’t worry if you don’t answer every message or reply to replies. There’s a reality to keep in focus - the time it takes. I have appreciated any comments you have made, whether to my comments or to others. I’m not studying at Uni (I did that years ago) but find your perspective and teachings fascinating. I am checking out your other videos - thank you for your honesty and enlightenment. Best wishes to you. All good wishes! 😃👍

Looking forward to seeing more from you.

thank you so much - the internet should be a place to have open conversations (albeit polite); instead of putting VAT on education, use the internet to make it more accessible to all. We should be helping all our students (both Nationally and Internationally) in anyway we can so that when they are in the workforce they can be as effective as possible, understand morality and ALL the perspectives (not just mob rule). The Boardroom of public bodies such as the Post office, BBC, NHS should employ people like you to routinely do academic assessments (Unfortunately this was what the House of Lords should have done but is now too political). Your posts are a great learning exercise - and hopefully the new Government will listen

What would be really really interesting is if there is somebody that explains the fundamental or principle design of Horizon which would explain what they did through the backdoor. And what reconciliation encompasses on a weekly and than monthly basis.

I'm really enjoying your channel. Snake oil? Opinion and analysis make me think and reflect. Keep it up, can't wait for your Jenkins video.

Thanks for the update. I will have a peek at your non post office videos as they may prove interesting to me.

I've literally just subscribed to your channel today. No reply needed 😊. Found it quite by chance after watching a PO inquiry vid - I've followed it closely. The video of yoursctgat popped up was your analysis of George Thomson - a man wherecwords fail me. Anyway, lived yoyr video and will defo look at your ither content too. Thanks for giving of your time and talents 👍

Thanks for your valuable work, Paul. I'd be interested in your take on the grinning buffoon Tim Parker (ex -Post Office chairman) and his testimony at last week's inquiry.

Thank you. I’ll give each of your videos a like, whether I watch them, or not. Because you’re worth it! 😊

Thank you, Paul. I have gained some knowledge about Psych, a subjest of which I am ignorant

Always something of interest on your channel, Paul. Hope you get around to doing something on Tim Parker (ex-PO chair).

Thank you for sharing those teaching videos that you can!! Appreciate you! No need to respond here, you're a busy guy ❤

Can't wait to see the Gareth Jenkins one!

Cheers Dr. D! Looking forward to future videos on whatever subject, but especially on the post office horizon scandal! 🙋👍🙏⚖️🙏🧑‍🎓

Point taken, and quite right.

I spent time in Newcastle's RVI Clinical Psychology, you remind me very much of a brilliant Psychologist there. Thank you for your videos and please continue.

I look forward to watching some of these videos. If my daughters law tutors (undergrad) put anything on youtube about the assessments, those students would, without a shadow of doubt, cheat 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Her criminal jystice system and crime control (masters) would have been very different though, i dont think she had time to watch anything with working full time and studying full time too. Every day is a school day and i am always up for learning new things.

Much appreciated your Post Office commentaries. As a new subscriber, I'd love to hear your thoughts on Dr Iain McGilChrist's "The Master and his Emissary" and "The Matter With Things" books.

Thank you for posting your videos about the Post Office situation, but on a wider note, how many PhD theses I psychology and psychiatry produce results that are reproduceable?

Looking forward to your thoughts on Jenkins. Did you watch the testimony of Tim Parker? He’s interesting too.

I really enjoy your Post Office videos. They are very, very informative and very, very ineressting, thanks. Re. your upcomming Garath Jenkins video. I'm a retired chartered civil engineer in the uk and before you finish your Garath Jenkins video I thought you might like to know what an engineer makes of his engineering answers at the public inquirey. Caviat...I've only watched a few of his answer so my following observations are limited to those. 1. It looks like Gareth Jenkins was in or he adopted the position of a junior actor who was asked or instructed to do things by senior actors who were managing the situations he found himself in. 2. It seems he limited his actions to his precise interpretation, as an engineer, of what he was asked or instructed to do. 3. It seems he did not consider wider engineering, social and legal implications of what he was asked or instructed to do and of his responses. Was that because he saw himself as a 'junior actor' and he did not consider it was his place to do so? Or was it because he was not an 'enquireing enginer' (one who might challenge his 'seniors')? 4. His definition of a robust computer system (Horizon) seems to be different from that of those who question him today. His definition seemed to be... Horizon carried out hunderes of thousands of actions a day and if less than 1% ( or whatever it was) are wrong, then it is robust.... and that is why he said it was robust at court. Today, others think, even if less than 1% (or whatever it was) are wrong, then it not robust. To my mind both definitions would be wrong, that's because they do not take into account the consequences of wrong computer outputs. Come to think of it, during the inquirey, has a ' robust computer system' been defined? If not, then participants may well be talking about different things. Having just written that it occurs to me, from a purely engineering point of view Gareth Jenkins definition may well be right, that's because computers are not programmed to take into account the consequences of their outputs. That is for people to do and that is your field. 5. I wonder, was GJ's opinion, about Horizon being robust (as he defines 'robust'), correct from a purely engineering point of view, and was he and his opinion manipulated be senior people to support their arguements? Was he naive and was he taken advantage of? I don't know because I don't know enough of the history. Perhaps your upcomming video can enlighten me..... I could go on but I'll leave it there for you to consider ... Thanks again and regards Tony (in the uk)

Your psychology videos sound interesting.

I believe you should participate in the Post Office Horizon IT Scandal, giving your views on each person's testimony.

1. Hello. 2. i'm very pleased to have found your stuff, and appreciate your responses very much. 3. You needn't reply to this. 4. Are you familiar with a book by James Hollis called, 'The Eden Project'? 5. If no, and relationship stuff is your thing, I'd urge you to find a copy. (5a. If yes, 'nuff said.) Many thanks, S

Is it completely mad your students would not cheat if tempted, are you aware of the use AI got put to when it first arrived students used it to produce their exam assignments etc? Perhaps teachers can be compared to dog owners that never admit to any wrong doing the classic line being it's never done that before - you'll get more sense talking to the dog usually! :)
