God i love those two men. May Richard live to a 150. What an incredible man. Sam too, excellent human being.

Extremely fortunate to have had the opportunity to see Richard Dawkins live in Melbourne in 2018, I have so much admiration for Professor Dawkins, his books are incredibly insightful and he has a way with words like very few.

Fashion tips from Dawkins....priceless.

So good to see Richard healthy

"I daresay there's too much respect in the world." "I don't care about whether its harmful, I care about whether its true." I love this guy.

It will take more than a stroke to do that to me!! Never get tired listening to Dr. Dawkins.

Dawkins is such a great speaker and an even better writer. His books have been my primary source of understanding evolutionary theory. Even the ‘Extended Phenotype’ which was written for a scholarly audience is actually quite intelligible for an attentive lay reader like me.

When Richard spoke about the things that actually move you at a persons funeral I got genuinely choked up. He said it so well and made so much sense.

I love these people, makes me proud to live at their era and to be able to understand..

Saw him in Melbourne last Friday and Richard is in perfect condition! He has fully recovered…

Wish the best of health for Mr. Dawkins, Hope to get more knowledge off his brain alot more.

2 of my greatest heroes..

So much love for these two. ❤

I love Dawkins dry matter-of-fact method presenting the laudible points he makes.

This is how a conversation of intelligent people looks, without shouting political or religious apes

"It's ridiculous to have to buy socks in pairs."

Wonderful conversation.

I love Richard Dawkins, what a legend😊💛

the odd socks thing is great. my Ex-wife hates mismatched socks so yeah this is perfect everyone do it!

Richard will be loved to death by infinite intelligence.

Excellent Discussion... !

Have you ever seen Sam Harris and Ben Stiller in the same photo or place?

Blessed! Two videos in one day

You guys are awesome, and with the deepest respect for your immense knowledge, I miss Christopher. Please don’t be offended but he had a way of persuading us, the common people, to change out mind. Your oratory is impressive but it tends to be academic. We need another Christopher!! A man of the people who ordinary people understand. Please find another like him!!... Please,,,,!

Dawkins is legend

Awesome!

Just ordered a copy of "The extended phenotype".

👏🏻 True People. Love both.

Thanks!

37:59 I've always thought this way about culture. So many things are universally accepted simply cause so many people do it yet are batshit crazy or horrible.

Sam is actually funny

On my bucketlist is being present watching Richard Dawkins at such an event❤

Lucky me to listen these both greats

The wonder of it all...

Love the socks, Richard Love you both

I solved the socks problem in a different way. I have 10 pairs of the same kind 😂 but my son has like 30 of all different sorts and he’s been wearing odd socks for a long time

9:36 wow! I had the same epidemic in my school in Poland.

I love the socks. I do odd socks a lot, pleased to know I'm not alone.

Brain matter matters in determining matter and what matters.

this crowd literally just claps for everything, don't they "i admire doctors" *applause*

Bravo

I really wish I could comfortably listen to this, but whoever recorded it put Richard's mic volume at about 40%, Sam's at 100%, and the audience at about a thousand percent. If I turn it up loud enough to hear Richard, the crowd reactions and applause is so loud it hurts.

Woot, woot!!!

Honestly, if I had 2 nights with these guys it would just be subtle, nuanced conversations about how Miles Davis is more important than Michael Jackson. Because it’s the only thing I can really defend, or would possibly care to with these two. But it’s so good to learn from and listen to.

On my Gravestone will be written: "God is Dead!" If you can life for truth and humor, why don´t die for it?

His short explanation of extended phenotype is marvelous. It makes sad when people struggle with their concepts, the two in conversation are capable of understanding knowledge and mind at a higher level clearly and know about human biological-social behavior patterns yet are in debate of some virtual automation of humans choice of lie. Due to the slow change of human societies it did pay well to the lies to be used as the most powerful tool to keep people subject to control therefore doesn't indicate it is mechanical but is an evidence of human choice to safeguard its interests grown in well-built communities revolving around these lies.

Who loves Rechard Dawkins?

Well, the perspective of Eternity is quite relevant to how we think and try to life our lives here on earth! (53:50)

I had a garage band called The Odd Socks ....I was lead Triangle and Rhythm Cow Bell .

I wish I would attend one of their lectures face to face unfortunately I doubt.but am lucky am following them on these channels and can read their written books.🤦🙄

Love the socks!

Good well Richard, all of your youtube audience is praying for you!

I remember teachers telling us off frequently for saying “um” when I was young. Good to see it used so frequently here 🤓

Thank you!

This is just Sam Harris dragging on and on and on.

ODD SOCKS for the win!

Intellectual treasure trove in all its luminosity is eloquently manifested in this intriguingly enlightening discussion, which invariably keeps the audience engaged, focused and consummately awe struck with the profound depth of knowledge, nuanced perspectives, sophisticated thoughts and novel ideas that seamlessly emanate from two of the leading celebres; widely renowned, revered and venerated in the realm of atheistic school of thought.

💓

Thank you Mr Dawkins for making 🍌Ray Comfort 🍌so successful. Who new an atheist like Dawkins would be such a great ally for the Christian movement 😃.

Kudos -- 444 Gematria -- 🗽

Some cultures demand more from their offspring then others

Kind of glad to hear that my slightly high I.Q. DOES mean something... lol, I hear so many people disdainfully characterize it as meaning much nothing.

I'd like to say that I'd like to see a female president in USA. Because she would have also been able to stop what is coming to Canada, hopefully.

At 4:50 reminds when my mother's spidery brain cancer had it's first noticeable effects. She could see the characters in the newspaper perfectly clearly but could no longer extract meaning from the squiggles.

Water is vigor. Oxygen is stark. Carbon is bleak.

Is Art and Music an extended phenotype ?

Why did everyone abandon these great talks, Including Isaac Asimov Annual debates or topics. I know there was allegations with a few big names bit nothing that should of halted all these years.

Richard Dawkins and Sam Harris 😍

37:04 I've heard this argument from Dawkins and others...but I can't actually find an example anywhere. Who on the left is ok with Islamic misogyny?

Wearing the other red and green socks from the first part/day... but on the reverse feet :D

I have been rocking odd socks for as long as I can remember. Wearing odd ones as we speak!

If one constantly buys black socks and like 5 or 10 par a time, the problem does not occur dear Dr. Dawkins

Would love to see a debate between Richard Dawkins and Jordan Peterson. Why didn't this happen already?

What's the name of the person at 34:40 I dont seem to get the name? Thanks

Dawkins' voice reminds me of Jay Robinson when he played Caligula. :)

Odd socks is the best example of extended phenotype I've ever seen. You're welcome.

I met a consultant psychiatrist once and was immediately put on a powerful brain altering anti depressant that was back in 1998. Because of a severe psychotic reaction to the prescribed drug I eventually lost my job and came very close to losing my life. The road to hell is paved with good intentions but that won't help you much when your battling to survive the powerful side effects of often lethal brain altering drugs that are almost impossible to get off of. Thankfully I got out the other side it only took almost 25 years.

I only ever buy black socks .. .. ..

Human sexuality is an external phenotype. That's right: human sexuality is determined by genetics. It isn't a conscious choice whatsoever. Remember that the next time you want to punish someone for their sexual beliefs, no matter how heinous you think they are.

Universal Intelligence is Dr. Richard Dawkins

Heroes

@sam.harris can you define Balkanisation? What meaning you put the n this word?

1:19:00 Okay, who did it?

Dawkins socks ❤️

Apparently Richard Dawkins is not a sailor, because the red sock is on his starboard side

Brilliant Mormon riposte by Richard!

I suppose you might say that I'm in a good place in so far as it is the case that I find every point they make more than abundantly obvious.

A human body is burly, gnarly and surly like a fractal.

Green sock should be on the right foot (starboard), red sock on the left foot (port)

Helen Fisher said that Serotonin is connected with religion. Religious people have very high serotonin levels.

I have never listened to this one!!!!

Socks obviously don't have chirality. They are socks, not gloves

Do you remember how was greeted Bryan when he gave unequivocal instructions to the crowd of admirers who held him for the Messiah?

I don't see the concept of an extended phenotype manifesting itself through inherited genes by outside sources necessarily. But the example given for twins is one good one, and I'd guess there could be more examples explored. It seems more to be an influential phenotype propagated mostly by other sources like the example given of charismatic religious believers. But then, that could be kind of construed as a type of inherited influence of a phenotype from an outside source and not personally biologically connected to the individual. It does raise a question that seems an interesting point to explore within genetics and what matters in regards to phenotypes as well as the extended ones. PS: I have to admit to not being educated in this area much (only having read books on it mainly) but thought it an interested point to study further. Also, I did enjoy the book by Dawkins which I have the first edition (one of my favourite books) but it would have been nice to have seen a 40th anniversary of it this year being 2022. Just to add a quick point. I was thinking that in regards to being converted by a religious person. Well, that could lead to the converted person building a chapel, a temple or whatever which then becomes a kind of extended phenotype of that particular conversion to that religion.

(Only for richard dawkins fans) what do you guys think of sam harris? Really curious to get an outside view of him

The number of ads in this video is incredibly disruptive

So... A genotype is a language description of the heritable information. [R-r heterozygous (incomplete)]. A phenotype is the phenomenal experience of the set of expressed genes an organism shows to the world. (The above flower is pink, an incomplete mix of red and white.) And lastly alleles are just the ordered list of all possible combination choices. (A red allele and a white allele.)

Backwards ball cap helps keep hair out of eyes. The bill blocks visual field of view, so there.

There is a Hitchen’s-sized void on the public scene at present. Is/are there a potential “replacement(s)” who could fill his shoes somewhat?

1:03 - imagine what Dawkins would make of Cancel Culture now ? (I like the idea of kittens and puppies though)
