The idea is based on this conversation:

Hey, considering Phillip Pullman's new book is coming out, whaddabout a vid on His Dark Materials? You could say a lot on views about religion and authority in it... and it would hopefully garner search attention!

I just finished The Golden Compass!
And once I finish the series I'd be down to help with that for sure!
The TNT Tiger - Today at 11:08 AM
Yeah, I'm halfway through the Amber Spyglass
Just one quiz question: What does the 'Golden compass' Actually refer to?
vinico - Today at 11:10 AM
What, is it going to be another book on that series or something else?

Going by wikipedia, it's a reference to Paradise Lost.
vinico - Today at 11:11 AM
I've read those a while ago, I think it was just before they announced the movie so I'd need to brush up a bit
but it's indeed a good way to deal with religion stuff
did you have anything more specific in mind, TNT?(edited)
AlicePow - Today at 11:13 AM
TNT, the Golden Compass is the US title of the book, and I believe it refers to the aleithiometer. Why do you ask?
The TNT Tiger - Today at 11:13 AM
NOPE
It refers to the metaphorical compass held by God which he used to create the world (As is Maths compass) And the aleithometer is what everyone thinks it is because it's a really confusing title.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Porque no los dos?
Doesn't it sort of refer to the alethiometer too because that's how some people understand it?
There's a a video topic: when a sign is vague, it ends up meaning things it wasn't meant to
The TNT Tiger - Today at 11:19 AM
Ah that's great!
Does it 'The Golden Compass' actually refer TO the altheiometer, not because it was meant to, but because so many people now beleive it does? If an author creates something with the intention to interpret it one way, is it valid, if enough people do, to say it really means something else?

Then we can pull in some Death of the Author and some theory on signification(edited)
The TNT Tiger - Today at 11:21 AM
Yeah that'd be amazing

I'll make a post on the Forum under episode ideas
