Hi everyone,
 
A nice video speech by Richard Dawkins. Not quite as materialistic as one would expect.

Wrong again – he’s completely materialistic:

“If we include the most austerely mechanistic among us, which is me…” 19.30

I came to realise that every time we recognise something human in creatures, we are also recognising something creaturely in ourselves. That is central to the rejection of human supremacism as the pernicious doctrine it is.
