Best quote of the evening; "Religion convinces you your're ill when you're not and then offers you a homeopathic cure."

Skip to 14:48 if you aren't interested in the introduction and musical guest.

"Standing up in the wind of the truth" Dawkins you're a poet

At 1:04:10 you can see a head at the bottom of the screen in the foreground whilst the questioner asks about Douglas Murray. That head is, amazingly, Douglas Murray. (I was there, sat fairly near to him. He laughed when this question was asked.)

How does this not have more views after four years!? I have the deepest respect for all three even though I don't agree on every single point. These are still hugely important and relevant topics.

I miss The Hitch.

Isn't it crazy how Matt started out as some ex Christian calling into a community access TV show, and ended up hosting a discussion in front of thousands of people with a neuroscientist and Evolutionary biologist

I’m grateful I live in a time where these ideas are available to most people.

"I accept the Universe." What a beautiful and poignant way to express the acceptance of reality.

The young man who asked the last question was a gem. His parents should be very proud.

Holy christ almighty, listening to that musical performance made me feel like I was sitting at one of those modern youth churches where the pastors are all in their 20s and play in a rock band.

Just finished watching this 2-hour video in one sitting. Thanks for posting this!

Just love Matt Dillahunty! He really is one exceptionally erudite articulate and intelligent bloke!

I am a huge fan of these three. I am just so inspired to " spread the good news."

The Kid at the end was the best thing in those two hours. Gives me hope for the future of man kind 🚀

Man, this was great!! I love these discussions. THANK YOU SO MUCH!

Who thought that kid at the end was a young Richard Dawkins in the making? Lets face it, that kid's intelligence is higher than most of us viewers. :)

"Hello?... there's one way to find out if I sound like a mouse on helium... okay" That's exactly the kind of self-examination and humor that does, indeed, give me hope for the future.

'The best cure for religion would be to read the holy books' lol this is exactly how I lost my faith. One day I decided I should probably have read what I so strongly claimed to believe so I read the bible, cover to cover, after I was done I wasn't a Christian anymore haha and the journey from Theist to Deist to Agnostic to Athiest didn't take more than maybe a year after that.

3 great men. What a time to be alive.

The year is 2100, humans in search for knowledge have been mostly replaced by ai. But then, suddenly, the fkn Pangburn philosophy channel finally uploads the Harris v Peterson debates. It will be a happy ending after all

3 favorite guys of mine! Good to see Richard Dawkins in good shape, I want him to stay around for long time. Matt Dillahunty is getting so well known, I am surprised he was never guest on Bill Maher.

The talk is still good. The well laid out facts in the recording of this event are still true, and still hold their value no matter how late these issues and insights were expressed, made clear, and made available to so many in need of it. Thank you for sharing your content.

Dawkins has come up in my sociology class on religion. I actually wish we could talk about Hitchens, Harris, and Dennett a little more

1:16:12 Actually Tibetans chop up their dead loved ones and feed them to vultures. They call it burial by sky. It's a way to show their love and respect by setting their loved ones free and back into the cycle of life in nature. So our opinion on treating dead bodies is definitely also shaped by culture.

Thank you! :)

This would have been so cool to see in person. I think the greatest takeaway is Dawkins talk about trusting authority and knowing when to trust it.

I find Matt amazing. He talks like such a normal guy but he's so intelligent and casual and confident in his intellect

So atheist rock is as cringeful as Christian Rock. Goddit.

That was excellent. 2 very fast hours.

This was a really good debate, thanks for uploading.

Matt casually saying "memes" right there must have made Dawkins feel good to know he coined the term and it's used like any other household word

Ah... Matt the perpetually frustrated, Richard the hotheaded and Sam the intellectual gentleman. We love you all!

Loved matts cowboy boots, a wee bit out of place in London. But definitely cool.

Great discussion, thanks for the upload. One point near the end has especially pleased me: 1:36:30 THANK YOU Sam Harris for bringing up cultured meat into the discussion on human diet! This is something I always wonder why people don't bring up more often in discussions about this topic. Is it still largely unknown?

This conversation needs a part 2. There where some very interesting points being made like the question about incest and the other about Richard's vegetarianism with the link to synthetic meat. I felt that these needed further discussion and speculation.

Actually trying to make sense of the doctrine I was being told to live my life by allowed me to see the hypocrisies in said doctrine, addressing said hypocrisies caused my elders to consider me an exhausting variant in the church/Sunday school, and treat me as less simply because I was pointing out how nonsensical their answers to my questions were. This made me more curious than I already was, and that curiosity lead me to explore Atheism, Atheism taught me the importance of critical thinking, critical thinking lead me to value truth and reason more than subjective feelings, valuing truth and reason more than feelings caused me to follow evidence to wherever it lead instead of where I would like it to lead, and following said evidence lead me to a genuine understanding of the world happening around us, and that genuine understanding taught me how much I'we really don't know, as well taught me how important it is to be able to accept what we don't know as something to be learned. I wonder id theism has ever lead anyone to a unwanted truth that amounts to a better working knowledge on the world happening right now. I only took the time/effort to type that for self serving relief,(relief rant) and I know that there's nothing profound being said. Therapeutic.

3 brilliant minds in one place👍💯💯👏

Glad to see Dawkins in good health, but I do think he has lost something to the old Dawkins who was sharp and incisive. I don’t know if its just his age or his illness. Btw, I’m a fan of all three guys.

How refreshing to listen to three great minds discussing rational topics, instead of idiots preaching absurd ideals. Thanks for posting this. Better late than never.... :-)

The idea that consciousness is divisible is the most thought provoking thing i've heard in a while.

It is an unfortunate reality of life, but Dawkins' age is really starting to show. Glad to see Harris and Dillahunty picking up the torch and walking on.

I do not understand the vitriol against Pangburn? I am just glad I get to see and listen to videos like this thanks to Pangburn.

Love you Matt, ❤️ Please keep speaking, your knowledge gives me power

Thre great personality on one stage what a time to be alive

Great post! and way faster, although you made a lot of enemies by holding content over peoples heads, this can be a turn around.

Great minds. Great video

I would like to live in a world where knowledge and ideas are within everyone's reach. At least a curiosity away.

A great piece of entertainment and maybe some learning. These guys are great.

I love Dawkins, he seems mild but has 0 tolerance on some issues and can be very blunt.

Problem is that some people want to do violence if someone says something they don’t like.

Love these three. Feel like they have not read about politics enough though. Great discussion!

Richard Dawkins is getting older! Love them all

Love Dawkins' tie. :)

How Matt Dilahunty's life has changed so much since he just decided to call into a public access TV show. Jesus Christ. Unbelievable.

Man how the hell did I miss this!?

did my mom book the opening musician very cutting edge and intellectual

It’s interesting how Richard Dawkins has mentioned animal rights several times in his interviews, (check out his illuminating Big Think podcast “Yes Animals Feel Pain Too”), where he discusses the morality of factory farming. However, I’ve yet to see him tackle the issue of Vivisection.

Those are great chairs. Does anyone know what those chairs are called or where I could find them> Thanks in advance.

being in the company of these 3 gentlemen is like having your meat and potatoes and dessert at the same time; truly a feast for the mind

the disgust reaction comes from the insular cortex, and it subconsciously influences our political and social decisions, Robert Sapolsky has some interesting research on this.

This feels so wrong to watch without paying 10 bucks. How can I pay you so I can feel OK watching this dated material?

It's in conversation like this that the atheists can find meaning and encouragement. To paraphrase the Hitch, "Philosophy, literature, science... You will find a lot more meaning and awe in these than any revelation from a burning bush".

this is so great i cant even

Good to see Richard Dawkins back in fine fettle.

*That young little fellow at the end of the Q&A almost broke my heart . . . . (He's more or less the exact same age as my youngest son (one of two), and I just can't imagine how they both are being brainwashed by their ''devout'' mother (my ex.) . . . .* 😔 *At the end of the day, we’re all per se faced with the mystery of the overarching existential questions:* *_Where_** did it all start…? - Is there an **_end_** of the universe? . . . . And so on . . . .* *Still, we can all live good, fulfilling lives **_despite_** this profound fact - except when religion interferes . . .*

Wow my 3 favorite speakers!

Thank you

1:27:27 "Religion convinces you that you are poisoned when you are not and then offers you the homeopathic remedy" Matt is too smart for this world

I really liked the first part of the video, where they discussed topics among each other. When it came to the Q&A part, though, I felt a lot of the questions weren't answered or even correctly addressed. Among them was the incest question. Granted, siblings having a relationship with no children may not be a huge problem, but what about parent-child or uncle/aunt-niece/nephew marriages? They seem abusive on several levels, not just regarding offspring. The other question was about criticizing ideas vs. criticizing people. As the questioner pointed out, the distinction is correct but it is also not entirely wrong if people take criticism of the ideas personally because people's actions and convictions are in some way influenced by those ideas. It's not that the ideas float around isolated and are completely separated from actions. People being able to change later on doesn't address the issue because while they are still advocates of those ideas, their actions are influenced by them, even if it doesn't always mean to the fullest extent. About finding meaning in life as an atheist, I'm with Sam Harris here. I guess helping move the community and humanity forward to provide a better place for future generations could be such a reason where you find meaning in life without indulging in fairy tales.

Soo deeply sad this operation folded.. the world needs pangburn....

why would you wait this long to upload this? what is wrong with this channel?

I never thought Sam Harris and Mr.Dawkins were hanging out with the monopoly man

Those massive "Don Corleone" chairs though

Anyone has the title of the song from the beginning.

Great talk.......More please.

Clarke's third law: Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic. This is why it's is virtually impossible to posit a scenario that would demonstrate a god.

The truth is refreshing

The issue with these kinds of debates in youtube is that the people who watch them already agree with them. If I could convince my religious friends to watch this with interest and open mind, I'm sure they would start questioning their beliefs.

When dealing with personal beliefs, it is definitely a gradual process that doesn't happen by facts and logic alone. It seems to require being driven by a personal emotion. I personally had a lot of resent and was so happy to convince myself over weeks and weeks of learning the history of religion and vids from Hitchens popped up first. Like it has to be the person's idea LoL but KZfaq convinced me. The internet is full of KNOWLEDGE. KNOWLEDGE AND THE WILLINGNESS TO.LEARN IS THE VERY MOST IMPORTANT THING IN A HUMAN LIFE.

41:43 Sam is right for not minding being called an idiot! We all should welcome challenges to our views on the chance, however slim we may think it, that we can improve them or change our minds altogether.

Love this “trio “!!

The guy with the Peter Singer question seemed super sweet, just had to say it!

Great to see you, Richard.

I wonder if Tracie Harris will ever do anything like this, though I know Matt is now making a living from his activism.

This was almost a full year ago, could I have something relevant please? ?

I wish someone had asked about the parallel between the concepts of "hating the ideology and not the individual" versus "hating the sinner and not the sin". One individual got very close, calling it a cop-out. But I wish they had expanded on that a bit.

Are there timestamps for all the questions asked here?

Wow, approx. 11 months after the event you have finally decided to upload the material. So, it's not about spreading the word of science and rationality, it's about disciplining people to attend the events live. Anyhow, I'm not here to judge, we all try to earn some bucks for a living, this way or another.

LOL 0:04 Alex O'Connor from Cosmic Skeptic YT channel in the down left corner

For some reason, I immediately though of the Nintendo Switch as I watched the Pangburn Philosophy logo (at least the colors)

On Dillahuntys' point on addressing the mechanism we humans use to form beliefs, A Manual for Creating Atheist by Dr. Peter Boghossian addresses the essential issue of epistemology. Did we form our beliefs by following the directions of the evidence?

I've had the same thoughts about if I saw a miracle: If I saw an amputees limb growing back before my eyes I would 1) Think it was an hallucination 2) If not that then it's alien technology.

The UnHoly Trinity. Dawkins the Father, Harris the Son, Dillahunty the UnHoly Spirit.

Can someone please educate me or point me towards the answer of this question... what are the primary and fundamental principles of a scientific theory? What principles guide and create a solid and foundational theory?

So much better than shows where people spend the whole time shouting over each other.

Love Matt's shoes

Can we talk about the cameras? Are they f******g drunk?

When that musician came out at the beginning I thought it was Chris Pratt and I was very confused.
