this is incredibly funny imo

eh

'We interviewed 137 scientists on their favorite foods and 40 spoke unfavorably of Richard dawkins'

It doesn't surprise me that much. He's one of most well-known science popularizers in the world, even disregarding the God Delusion

He was famous before that

oh I'm talking to the president of Flat Earth Society today too, so that'll be fun

let me know if you think there's something I should ask him

Ask him if Australia is on the other side

ask him why objects fall towards the ground instead of in any other direction when dropped

altho im sure he has some rehearsed rebuttal to that

that one really stumps them

'LOOK, UP IS UP, DOWN IS DOWN'

he thinks the earth is zooming upward at the rate of gravity due to an "Aetheric whirlpool"

that honestly is their explanation

ohhh he's one of those

i mean c'mon Sunflower, how can I argue with that?? AETHERIC WHIRLPOOL

cant argue that

too compelling

😮

Dude hop into the vc

I wish I wasn’t at work so I could be in that conversation about Dawkins. But I think his best quality and what I respect the most about him is that when he’s debating in the end he’s trying to teach his opponent about something not just argue with them.

Hi
I'm looking forward to eavesdropping whenever I get the chance, Dawkins is treasure.

Richard Dawkins in most occasions has said religion should be ended

It very likely he was mis quoted by the uk times

Richard would be great if he provided a little more insight on the utility of religion

First time on discord.
Wondering how to enter the live audio chat?

You could find it to your left called live yt feed

Great I got it thanks

This one

it looks like the only distinction is whether or not he said "would" vs "could/might"
