생명과학은 물리보다 재미가 없습니다.

So does being in a major car accident! If it is actually the case that when you die everything about you (apart from your atoms) ceases to exist then I would rather not know that. I prefer to believe in something more comforting like spirits, higher purposes etc, even if such beliefs are totally false. Sometimes it's better not to know. From this perspective, Dawkins has done a lot of damage. Not everybody agrees with his opinion that knowing the truth is positive.

@@decimustv4257 Nonsense. If anything you've just demonstrated what's wrong with being groomed and conditioned into believing 'comforting' lies. Specifically that it destroys your capacity to build healthy coping strategies and mechanisms to dealing with, as you say "the cold hard truth" AKA reality.

But the flaw in your argument is this. If I'm unaware of the truth then why do I need to deal with it? Of course I will still suffer the practical consequences in the end whether I know it or not just like everyone else, but until then, I will live in ignorant bliss. Consider this example. You are going to die in 4 weeks. Do you want to know that? I wouldn't. Also, do you actually understand evolution and it's terrible implications? If you don't then I envy you. Even Darwin himself was gutted about the consequences of evolution, and not just because it killed the idea of a creator. For instance, he knew of insects that literally implanted their larvae into the live bodies of insects, and after their offspring hatched they would feed on the insides of the host while it's still alive!. There is no reason for this kind of terror, except that it's successful for survival so it happens, and what is the point of survival?. There is none. Nature is heartless and pointless. It's just a product of atoms following the rules of the universe. Even when you walk in a park and admire the trees, fish, ducks, etc, remember that what you are really seeing is a war between competing species, a bitter struggle for survival. Thank you Dawkins for making me aware of that! I would rather think Disney and believe that animals are cute and fluffy like I used to do when I was a kid. That's just me. But because I have read a few of his books, that perspective is completely destroyed. I prefer peace and tranquillity over the cold hard truth. @@Lycaerix​

​@@decimustv4257that's called putting your head in the sand and indulging in fantasies. If you know then you can't deny it's reality. And in this case Disney is the one who has done more damage by creating false hope and fantasies. Having said all that I too do enjoy entertainment arts made up content. And there's no need to ignore the realities. Live in the beauty of what u do see and find solitude in how things work. For our visual reality is a forced perception.

What you say is true that ignorance can be bliss & comforting what amazes me is some people's ability to know all about the harsh reality of nature & the universe & still pull off believing in an all loving creator that they'll bow & scrape to in the hope of living forever. Totally baffles me , I just can't make myself believe in something that everything i know tells me is the biggest con ever perpetrated on our species namely religion ​@@decimustv4257

Well said!

You mean Pagan Holiday, Christmas was historically documented as being coopted by Romans who slaughtered pagan followers by sword until extinct. But it is the christmas holidays, marketed in the early 1900s and a fantastic tradition to celebrate the days being short.

@@EpicLemonMusic Also a nice way to earn large $$$ and quite a big business. But yes, I like people gatherings, decorations and fairs, that's nice.

Happy pagan debauchery December solstice 🙂

Its called Jul in Scandinavia and have been celebrated long before Christians hijacked it.

Are you, by any chance, his mom?

Not too bad yourself Mrs.

​@@mallrat77don't be a moron

Agreed - Dawkins was handsome then and is handsome now, even as an octogenarian - Natural Selection at its finest ! Hopefully the Professor has inherited his parents’ genes for longevity, as well as for high intelligence, altruism and attractiveness, and will be with us for many years to come.

​@@louisehaley5105 I agree with you. I remember watching the other day the infamous "Love letters" (aka hate mail) video and couldn't believe he was well into his 70s and still so good looking! In case you're not familiar with the video, I totally recommend it. There is something oddly satisfying about hearing such a distinguished gentleman using words such as "biatch". He is such a treasure! We must protect this man at all costs!

yes, i was thinking the exact same thing, but that these lectures should be shown once every year so it really gets driven home.

I doubt...

What makes you so sure of that result?

What biologists, such as Richard Dawkins, consider as science is, in fact, grounded in David Hume's unscientific philosophy adorned by just-so stories. Please see "Science in the Shadow of Metaphysics - Part One - Gods of Science. The file is uploaded to ResearchGate.

It may certainly help but there are those who will deny it all no matter how strong the evidence lest it tears down their delusions

Attention is a skill. Most parents do not have the aptitude or experience to teach their offspring this skill.

That's also what I thought at that point. But it's kind of controversial to say that ChatGPT has the power of a human brain, when you ask it, it keeps insisting that it doesn't have consciousness or feelings or desires etc which are all significant parts of what a human brain does. In other areas like general knowledge it outclasses every human brain on the planet since it's basically all the knowledge on the internet. So it's missing some features but supersedes others. Does that count? Who knows... I'll ask ChatGPT ;) ... aaaand I already know it won't answer anything useful because it doesn't have its own opinions and there's nothing on the internet giving a definitive answer on that one... I'm sure I could get to an opinion if I thought about it more, ChatGPT probably can't... which makes me think the answer is no, it's not comparable... yet... but seems very very close.

His first three books alone will survive generations....The Selfish Gene, The extended phenotype and The Blind Watchmaker....

Did you enjoy it?

Yes, I’m an evolutionary biologist now

​@@mbproductions4511😮

For real??

Didn't you mean lecturer?

I was wondering the same thing. It seemed to have vanished, all of a sudden.

@thejoker7902 It seems KZfaq (the company) is trying to stifle or cancel his evidence-based assertions on trans ideology, and on the social violence committed against those shining the light of truth onto that ideology.

Which one

Which university are you?

Delhi University, i use to watch alot of his videos @@user-yf3zr8yv9d

No such word as "alot". I hope you didn't pass English.

it will be uploaded during this month

where did bedbugs come from? Purpose of existence? Were they created so a specific population can get to know them personally? Can you be 100% clean, tidy and neat while cohabitating with bedbugs? Yes

Christmas was never a pleasant time with my family and I was brought up to be a Christian.

Bro that's human weakness isn't it? Why should we giva f about imaginary beings which we created??

मुझे लगता है कि जो लोग चीजों को याद रखना पसंद नहीं करते हैं उन्हें कभी भी जीव विज्ञान, रसायन विज्ञान नहीं चुनना चाहिए क्योंकि यह ज्यादातर याद रखने के बारे में है, जो लोग तार्किक चीजें पसंद करते हैं उन्हें गणित या भौतिकी चुनना चाहिए

@MojoFilter If only you could understand even a fraction of what he & other scientists say. It's better than a fear-filled superstitious existence, beholden to a magical fairy intent on punishing all who don't obey or cater to "Him". If you learn evolutionary biology, you'll know we know how proto-bacteria originated. We understand their self-replicating pre-DNA origins. We know how modern bacteria stay alive, reproduces, etc. - taught in graduate courses.

No, hubris at its peak is saying "I know how all of creation started, I know everything about morality, and I know that if you disagree with me you'll suffer for EVER".

Not as weird as ancient religions that rely on gods.

@@timothymontes2049 Rely on gods for what?

This is the funniest comment I’ve ever read whether intentional or not, thanks for the laugh

My thoughts exactly, Dawkins gets boring. Atheism doesn't have the appeal it had 20 years ago.

You sound hateful. Is that what your religion taught you ?

You're god is a joke with too much contradiction to be called poetry or jazz. He's weak for needing you to defend his poor positions and arguments. I'll take Dawkins over Moses, Jesus, and Mohammed all day, every day.

Sounds like some flagrant bullshit, good luck in life!

They aren't "his" theories. Nobody's forcing you to listen. You sound very bitter and unhappy.
