'Is Religion Inevitable?' - Richard Dawkins Reveals All

Is white privilege the modern day Original Sin? How is mass denial about the truth of gender, any different from Catholic transubstantiation? Is woke culture today's dogmatic religious mob?

Join me and @drpeterboghossian as we explore these questions and more in another episode of The Poetry Of Reality.

"Madness is rare in individuals - but in groups, parties, nations, and ages it is the rule." -Friedrich Nietzsche

[MrAbseil]

this should be the kind of discussion that should sit at the core of every contemporary high school education in Australia, the UK, USA, NZ etc, etc ...

I used to be a Jehovah's witness. I left in 2014 and since then I have read almost all of Dawkins books. They are my golden collection.
I outgrew God and got rid of the God Delusion.

Dr Richard Dawkins, I have become an atheist and learned to look at evidence when forming my beliefs and opinions because of you . And suddenly the world started making so much more sense . I am sure there are many more like me who you helped. Your life's work is certainly not a waste . Thank you so much for speaking

[isabelhernaez]

Professor Dawkins, what a privilege to have met you. Not only have you taught me so much, but I also experience profound serenity and contentment when I watch you and listen to you.
I'll be forever grateful.

Inspiring. @ 82 years old and Mr Dawkins is starting a YouTube channel and a substack.

Gullibility expands to fill the vacuum - perfect quote from Richard.

[DiegoSpinola]

Dawkins is wonderful, thankfully I got pulled out of religious thinking by his work, and important thing is to become rational and apply it across the board...

[adamfontana]

What a brilliant conversation. It gives me hope that reason is out there. Thank you Richard

[treesart]

I'm so happy to hear this conversation. I'm a grad student in philosophy of physics and I've been going crazy having to witness the takeover of both science and philosophy.

I am an atheist. Women should not give up their rights to men who are deluded into thinking they are not in the right body. It is women's language that is under attack and it is women's rights also undermined, not men's in trans ideology. Women should not give way because a man is deluded. Biological facts should matter more than hurt feelings. Trans ideology is the new religion. Language, meaning and definitions matter. It is for this reason I do not go down the pronoun falacy depended on feelings.

[koenvandamme]

I don't worry about the substitution hypothesis. The way I see it, people don't have a deep psychological need for religion. They do have a deep need for community, purpose, meaning, mental comfort etc. Religion is only 1 possible means to obtain those ends.

[fionagregory]

Richard Dawkins made me an atheist thank God.

[thatpaulschofield]

I am delighted to discover that I'm not the only scientifically-oriented person who thinks the woke view on gender and sexuality is nuts.

[harrycrosswell]

Dogma and identity politics always bring forth monsters.

[buddahluvaz]

Happy to hear he is writing another book, looking forward to it!

I'm glad the "trans" stuff is being critically discussed by prominent people... But I'd plead with both these men to STOP PRETENDING TO BELIEVE THE LIE, BY USING SEX-INCORRECT PRONOUNS...

Our society got into this mess, in the first place, by prioritizing "being polite", over SIMPLE, EVIDENCE-BASED TRUTH...

Humans are NOT perfectly rational beings, and when you continously use use wrong-sex pronouns (EVEN IF it's just "to be polite", and you're mentally translating "she/her"/"trans women" to "men"), it DOES change how you, and others listening, think about these men, who are invading women's spaces.

What we need now, is to not be rude and abusive, but to be UNAPOLOGETICALLY HONEST, and to strictly adhere to OBJECTIVE, EVIDENCE-BASED TRUTH...

We need to re-establish the the idea that it's NOT "rude or abusive" to acknowledge people's evidence-based sex... But it IS rude, selfish, and entitled, to demand/expect that THE WHOLE WORLD will pretend not to notice your evidence-based sex, and will actively deny your sex, just because YOU want to maintain an objectively false fantasy, 24/7...

We ALL need to ONLY use sex-correct pronouns. To ONLY refer to people (according to biologcal sex) as "men" or "women"... At most, acknowledge that Lia Thomas is "a man who SELF-ID'S as 'a trans woman'..." But don't pretend to believe the fantasy that Thomas TRULY IS "a woman" (with OR without the "trans" prefix, which is a dishonest semantic trick, anyway- Adding a prefix can NEVER transform a lie into "truth"...)

The antidote to this insanity, is simple, evidence-based truth, and plain, honest English- NOT to affirm all the dishonest lingustic trickery this ideology used to make people swallow lies as "truth"..

Thank you Richard for being such an amazing scientist and overall a rational and compassionate human being.

[Emberrebme]

The scientific method should be taught in high schools across the world, then this problem is solved in a generation. Most people do not have the critical thinking skills to deal with complex issues.

[Phil]

This was a fascinating conversation and the parallel between transubstantiation and the gender ideology argument is very compelling.
You are perhaps one of the most thoughtful and articulate human beings to have ever lived.
It'll be a sad day for humanity when you leave us, please hang on as long as possible!
