Lawrence Krauss and Richard Dawkins Discuss Evolution, Religion, and More The Poetry of Reality with Richard Dawkins 2024-07-29 | I first encountered Lawrence Krauss sometime in the early 2000s at a conference. I had just given my lecture and was answering questions when a rather small man with a loud voice and a highly articulate manner stood up and began berating me in what I initially thought was an aggressive manner. It turned out he wasn’t being aggressive; rather, his clear and direct way of speaking seemed forceful compared to the usual, more roundabout way people talk. Intrigued, I sought him out in the bar afterward, and we had a good discussion. This man was, of course, the distinguished physicist and public intellectual Lawrence Krauss. Shortly afterward, we continued our friendly disagreement in the pages of Scientific American, back when the publication still focused on science. Since then, I’ve interacted with Lawrence on stage more often than with anyone else. The following recording was made at Stanford University around 2007 and exemplifies how two people can have a fruitful public discussion without a chairman and outside of a debate format. The nature of our initial disagreement forms a good part of the discussion itself, so I won’t spoil it here. I hope you enjoy it.--------------I will be on tour of North America, UK & EU talking about my latest book, religion, life on earth and beyond.

Richard Dawkins Confronts a Christian Extremist! The Poetry of Reality with Richard Dawkins 2024-07-19 | The Reverend Michael Bray is a leading advocate of murdering abortion doctors. He also takes biblical literalism to the extreme of advocating the death penalty for adultery and homosexuality. His friend and coconspirator, the Reverend Paul Hill, was executed for murdering an abortion doctor and his bodyguard. Bray strongly defends Hill’s action and thinks he’s now being rewarded in heaven. Bray himself served 46 months of a 10-year jail sentence for conspiracy and possession of illicit explosives. What follows is an audio recording of a long conversation I had with him in a public park in Colorado. He struck me as a deeply confused individual but at the same time sincere, a mind addled and perverted by religious faith, walking evidence of Steven Weinberg’s well-known aphorism, which I quote at the end of this recording: for good people to do evil things, it takes religion.--------------I will be on tour of North America, UK & EU talking about my latest book, religion, life on earth and beyond.

Woke Racism Defies Logic! The Poetry of Reality with Richard Dawkins 2024-06-06 | I have long wanted to meet John McWhorter. He’s an extremely well-known public intellectual and opinion leader who, in my opinion, always talks sense. I have this rather eccentric idea that before becoming a public intellectual, you need to earn your credentials by having something important and interesting to be intellectual about, and John McWhorter qualifies in a big way. He is a world authority on linguistics, the study of the extraordinary phenomenon of human language, which I think is one of the most important and interesting subjects out there.We both spoke at the Dissident Dialogues conference in New York this year, and I seized the opportunity to invite him onto The Poetry of Reality. I was delighted and honored when he accepted. I began by asking him about linguistics, including the vexed question of the origin of language.Only later did we move on to his more controversial book, a book that I strongly recommend, “Woke Racism: How a New Religion Has Betrayed Black America.--------------I will be on tour of North America, UK & EU talking about my latest book, religion, life on earth and beyond.

Richard Dawkins vs. Ayaan Hirsi Ali: Political Christian or Truly a Christian? The Poetry of Reality with Richard Dawkins 2024-06-03 | I will be on tour of North America, UK & EU talking about my latest book, religion, life on earth and beyond. I will be joined on stage by a range of friends and foes on stage. The events will include a Q&A and a limited meet-and-greet. You can get your tickets here: richarddawkinstour.com#richarddawkins #richarddawkinstour --------------Ayaan Hirsi Ali is a hero, a staunch fighter against the violent intolerance and bossy control freakery of Islamism. She is also a personal friend of whom I am very fond. When she recently announced her conversion to Christianity, I assumed that she must be no more than a political Christian, regarding Christianity as a bulwark against Islam. I have some sympathy with the view that if you must have a religion at all, Christianity is hugely better than the leading alternative. In Hilaire Belloc’s words, “Always keep a-hold of Nurse for fear of finding something worse.”I agreed to have a public conversation with her in New York, in which I was all prepared to emphasize the distinction between a political Christian and a true believing Christian, who actually thinks Jesus was born of a virgin and rose from the dead. I think the distinction is a really important one. I don’t think a political Christian is a real Christian, any more than the kind of cultural Christian I am myself.When we met on the stage at the Dissident Dialogues meeting in New York, I was wrongfooted when Ayaan began with a personal statement which seemed to suggest that she really is a believing Christian, not just a political Christian. Well, her form of words was “I choose to believe.” I’m not sure what to make of that. Anyways, see what you think; here is the recording of our New York meeting.--------------Join Substack:richarddawkins.substack.comSubscribe to Poetry of Reality Channel: youtube.com/channel/UCmwfdgHA_R9fzr1L0_hxdVwFollow: Instagram: instagram.com/the.poetry.of.realityTwitter: twitter.com/RichardDawkinsFacebook: facebook.com/RichardDawkinsBooksReddit: reddit.com/r/ThePoetryofReality

The riddle is one that baffled Chales Darwin. He explicitly left it for later generations. It was eventually solved, with typical brilliance, by the great Ronald Fisher. The fundamental sexual inequality is an economic one. Eggs are hugely larger than sperm. From this much follows. Why do peacocks have such a ridiculously large, ornamental “tail”, when it obviouly must put them in danger? Do females go for male beauty for beauty’s sake (as Darwin thought, and Fisher explained)? Or are males advertising some useful quality (as AlfredWallace, Darwin's co-discoverer of natural selection, insisted). Is the peacock’s tail favoured in spite of being a handicap? Or could it be favoured precisely becuse it is a costly handicap? Does it have to be costly as a certificate of honesty? Do females only go for honest males?This is a talk I gave on a ship crusing the Galapagos archipelago.------------------Join Substack:richarddawkins.substack.comSubscribe to Poetry of Reality Channel: youtube.com/channel/UCmwfdgHA_R9fzr1L0_hxdVwFollow: Instagram: instagram.com/the.poetry.of.realityTwitter: twitter.com/RichardDawkinsFacebook: facebook.com/RichardDawkinsBooksReddit: reddit.com/r/ThePoetryofRealityI will be on tour of North America, UK & EU talking about my latest book, religion, life on earth and beyond.

In addition to discussing personal mortality, we talked about bereavement. I thought this time it would be appropriate to listen again to his wisdom—the wisdom of a great thinker and a dear friend. Big books, eloquent speaker, deep knowledge of science as well as philosophy, talented musician and sculptor, lived a full life, and died in harness. Leaves a huge gap in the world of intellect, Dan will miss you so much, so deeply.--------------Join Substack:richarddawkins.substack.comSubscribe to Poetry of Reality Channel: youtube.com/channel/UCmwfdgHA_R9fzr1L0_hxdVwFollow: Instagram: instagram.com/the.poetry.of.realityTwitter: twitter.com/RichardDawkinsFacebook: facebook.com/RichardDawkinsBooksReddit: reddit.com/r/ThePoetryofReality

Why Did Andrew Sullivan Apologise to Richard Dawkins? The Poetry of Reality with Richard Dawkins 2024-04-09 | I will be on tour of North America, UK & EU talking about my latest book, religion, life on earth and beyond.

You can get your tickets here: richarddawkinstour.com#richarddawkins #richarddawkinstourIn an earlier podcast, Andrew Sullivan described Richard Dawkins as an unpleasant person. But that was before he had met him.In this episode, they do meet, and consider whether direct clarity can be mistaken for unpleasantness. They go on to discuss the double standards that govern criticism, challenging the breakdown of civil conversation in America.As they navigate the terrifying yet exhilarating immensity of the universe, they contemplate and debate life's meaning, Jesus, and the role of religion as solace in the face of nothingness. But does moral philosophy really require the supernatural? Does scientific truth make a person desolate? And what is the truth of human nature and the sex binary? ------------------Join Substack:richarddawkins.substack.comSubscribe to Poetry of Reality Channel: youtube.com/channel/UCmwfdgHA_R9fzr1L0_hxdVwFollow: Instagram: instagram.com/the.poetry.of.realityTwitter: twitter.com/RichardDawkinsFacebook: facebook.com/RichardDawkinsBooksReddit: reddit.com/r/ThePoetryofReality

I had an intriguing conversation with Bishop Richard Holloway, former Head of the Church of Scotland. He is a most intelligent, interesting and pleasant man.Join us as we explore the human lust to be good to others, and the impulse to give. We navigate the delicate balance between belief and scepticism, with Holloway confessing that he's “between gods” and me reflecting on being, technically, an agnostic.Throughout our conversation, we critically examine the poetic value of religious myth and its impact on human culture. We confront the age-old question of whether religion offers consoling fiction or genuine comfort in the face of life’s uncertainties.______________________Join Substack:richarddawkins.substack.comSubscribe to Poetry of Reality Channel: youtube.com/channel/UCmwfdgHA_R9fzr1L0_hxdVwFollow: Instagram: instagram.com/the.poetry.of.realityTwitter: twitter.com/RichardDawkinsFacebook: facebook.com/RichardDawkinsBooksReddit: reddit.com/r/ThePoetryofReality

You can get your tickets here: richarddawkinstour.com#richarddawkins #richarddawkinstourIn this episode I sit down with Professor Michael Baum to dissect with brutal honesty the intricacies and pitfalls of the alternative medicine industry. We dive deep into the challenges posed by a scientifically illiterate House of Commons and the prevailing misconception that science is too daunting for the average person to comprehend. We confront the disturbing trend of individuals taking pride in their ignorance, a mindset that perpetuates the acceptance of unproven remedies in the fight against cancer.From herbal remedies to homeopathy and other alternative medicines, Michael Baum and I unravel the allure of these treatments, examining the placebo effect and the reliance on anecdotal evidence that often accompanies them. We emphasize the vital importance of the scientific method, which demands unwavering honesty and has the potential to challenge our deeply entrenched belief systems.______________________Join Substack:richarddawkins.substack.comSubscribe to Poetry of Reality Channel: youtube.com/channel/UCmwfdgHA_R9fzr1L0_hxdVwFollow: Instagram: instagram.com/the.poetry.of.realityTwitter: twitter.com/RichardDawkinsFacebook: facebook.com/RichardDawkinsBooksReddit: reddit.com/r/ThePoetryofReality
