Watch Sam Harris & Brian Greene on stage FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER th-cam.com/video/5pbHsRz8A7w/w-d-xo.html
Why do I always find most interesting videos at 1am when I have to get up to work in six hours
So fucking true...
"save to watch later"
Did a 12 hour shift. Work nights. Need to sleep. Don't want to. This is so entertaining.
what's work?
Lol same
I'm fascinated by Mr. Greene's ability to explain and describe complex ideas in wonderfully simple and eloquent terms. What a wonderful gift to humanity these two gentlemen are and we need more like them in the world communicating the wonders of science and rational inquiry to the general public.
I think they implicitly mentioned an important point that I have been thinking about for quite some time now - what if on other worlds some other highly complex entities exist that we wouldn't even call life forms because they would exhibit properties completely different from the properties of living organisms, and we can't even imagine them yet with our present knowledge of matter? Simply put, life is just an extreme form, expression or manifestation of chemistry - who knows what OTHER kinds of highly complex manifestations of matter exist out there? I wonder what their thoughts would be on that...
He founded a place for reason and science, not only is Richard Dawkins an agnostic, he's also a rationalist. I read quarter way his powerful book 'The God Delusion', it overwhelms with the religious antibelief of atheism. It's for atheists, I don't think it applies to a Muslim who's required not to believe in God if they become atheists.
Energy, and how it is manifested is the currency of the universe! Knowing itself is one manifestation.
Have you happened to watch him spit fire in 20 seconds on Colbert?
@@DrVonRhein I've wondered about that too. It sounds highly plausible. We can't even comprehend the 4th dimension, who knows what's in the higher dimensions...
So sad to see prof Dawkins geting older and older. He should live forever. So much great impact on humanity
ł m His genome is copied and is in a hard disk. We can create an infinite copies of Richard Dawkins in the future if we apply the right environmental conditions for the genotype to express itself
+ I m Agreed. I wish he would live forever, too. And Dr Peter Singer. And all childfree antinatalist animal rights vegans.
ł m the only thing that has given rise to Dawkins popularity is his rants concerning religion nothing else
@@pauljones4369 He was popular in the Biology community for a long time, ever since he published the selfish gene, but he came to mainstream attention for his talks on atheism.
Paid Russian Troll yes that’s right. but it’s now widely expected that’s his arguments for atheism is very weak.and not even taken seriously by true atheist thinkers
Getting old is good. It means he doesn't die young. Long live Richard Dawkins!
Jesus lives forever!
OAKMEGA JOESEPH lol

@@josephoakley1304 lol did he ever exist? and if he did, they killed him under religious law as crazy
I love these two men. So fortunate to be alive and share this time with such wonderful humans.
6:27 to skip over the top intro
Thanks man
Thanks
;)
@sperare I have to say, even though you had the capacity to skip you still watched the intro haha
Thanks btw!
I just love the fact that Dawkins so openly admires theoretical physicists. A true gentleman indeed.
MrKritik77 yeah right a gentleman. People have been paying to come see him.. Been listening for two long hours..now they gonna buy his book..n instead of being humble and being a gentleman, he is making the rules and talks to the audience as if they were kids in kindergarten. dont do this dont do that "and please no selfies"
@@nadomari623
That's because as long as _people act like children in a kindergarten_ he has to speak to them as such.
nad omari I didn't hear him say anything like that I don't know what your talking about He was a very interesting gentleman
RED the very end of the video 1:57 he is making the rules to the people that gonna buy his book. No this no that n no selfies...they have been listening to him for two hours n he doesnt even wanna give them a few seconds each..also if u watch other debates he has a habit of shouting at the audience "how can u applaude this! " when they r applauding his opponent..also the way he always mimics n makes fun of that woman he debated a few years earlier "show me the evidence show me the evidence"...so, no, gentleman wouldn't be the best way to describe mr dawkin
nad omari He is a HIGHLY intelligent person A lot of what they talked about I didn't understand but I love learning and I wish I had brains like that He can come across a bit abrupt but ALL highly intelligent people have something odd about them and the smarter they are the more odd they can be. He probably finds it difficult speaking in public, you never know. I'm not a young person I may not be as smart as Dawkins but I am very good with people and I think some people can be threatened by intelligence and may take them the wrong way just because they are a little odd. I think he's amazing I wish there were more like him
I so admire Richards Dawkins intellect, courage and honesty. One of my hero’s.
I farted and it smells like egg
@@pmamonthero6641not the intellect, courage and honesty we were looking for
Please do without the possessive 's' in your sentence. It's completely useless.
🥱❤️
I followed Brian Green's work for decades. I love the way as a scientist he's able to keep an open mind and stay genuinely curious about all ideas. Very intelligent and admirable fellow.
thanks for feeding my brain
Fill your brain on Jesus!!!!
@WILD BILLCan tell how intelligent you are by the way you write in capital letters, there is no helping you!
@@joakkley9659 superstition!
I must say, Dawkins looks so badass in slow-mo! 😎
It looks like they let the production crew have some fun with their nice cameras. The "Brian Greene and Richard Dawkins Adjust Their Headsets" music video!
How have I not heard of this Brian Greene as of yet ? Adding him to my list of heroes such as Dawkins, Hitchens..etc. Great discussion thanks all involved.. Someone please sign Dawkins up for another two hundred years as a thank you for his contributions to all humanity !!!
We live in an amazing time, when we can actually witness modern day Darwin and Newton having a conversation. What a time to be alive!
That's like saying because you watch a computer screen you invented the computer.
These people have no relation to Darwin or Newton. They are spectators like you only have observed the program more closely.
I was feeling like crap since a few days. I was really in need of some awesome data input and found this. The two people who's in the topmost list of my list of most amazing people and it made my day!!! 😍 Both the genius talking to each other are like two neutron stars. Thu emit so much light and energy that I was baffled.
I am so happy to see Professor Dawkins and sad at the same time to see him getting older. May you live long for the sake of humanity my dear professor.
What an absolute joy it is to listen to these two great thinkers and world-famous scientists go at it in such an informal discussion of mind boggling ideas. This is the true value of the internet.
This has to be one of the best conversations in a long time!!
Bbt Bebe bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbobbbbbbbbbbb
really?
@@gerryb7859 no diabeto
that was terrific, such a privelege to be alive with these two great intellects
6:23 start
thanks
What e4r said
Thank you
Thanks
Fazerlazer80 thank you 🙏
I love how a bit nervous and cautious they are at the beginning of talk and very absorbed, amused and relaxed in the middle and at the end of it. Fascinating talk!
one of the best conversations I've heard, as well as a tremendously stimulating and intelligent audience
Great job by both gentlemen in this discussion!
Pangburn THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR PUTTING THIS VIDEO ON TH-cam loved it
I wish long life to professor Richard Dawkins this world needs more people like you and less people like the delusional Ken Ham.
@Christ is king The Holy Dopamine Ghost is strong in you.
Drouxuza Cuprahz I love listening to him I wish I had a brain like that
I actually appreciate fundamentalist like Ken Ham. Sincerely, real talk. People like Ken Ham are honest about their convictions. Ham says "I begin with the Bible," and also that, for him, there is absolutely zero argument that can be presented that will change his mind. This is truly the power of organized religion generally and politicized religion in particular. In no other area of intellectual inquiry can one maintain such a dogmatic position, unflinchingly, and that is because religious propositions are neither testable nor falsifiable.
WILD BILL
You’re assuming we don’t WANT to spend eternity getting our shitters pounded and swilling buckets of demon jizz.
I’m looking forward to it.
Christ is king
You poor fucker.
I hope you’re going to be okay.
The demon works powerfully through you.
Dawkins. You are the best teacher I never had.
Imma Seeker He is pretty AWESOME I wish there was more like him
@Maximilien Robespierre does it bother u?
@Maximilien Robespierre what do you mean your name it's written there
@Maximilien Robespierre from antarctica and where are u from
@Maximilien Robespierre why are you asking all these questions.
I thought this event will be released first as a teaser, then as a recap, and finally as a 240p (1080p with low bitrate) video in November 2019. But this is a pleasant surprise indeed. Thanks for the upload.
What an AMAZING experience! Two wonderful brains.
Conversation begins at 6:42 - Thanks so much for publishing this!
I think an argument can be made that the older Dawkins gets, the more he sounds like Stewie from Family Guy.
What a delight it is to listen to Dr. Dawkins and Dr. Greene!!!! Excellent discussion!
Fantastic, so inspiring and special to have two heavyweights on two such critical fields in the same space. Well worth the full two hours. The discussions on the origin of life, of the origin of the universe, the nature of consciousness (and the honest brick wall feedback on the subject), considered in a dialogue between these two great minds, is very special indeed. Quite unique
Two great minds. A highly intellectual conversation. What a pleasure to listen to them!
What a wonderful talk, I really enjoyed it!
So fascinating to watch a scientist in one domain become excited to ask a question of the one in the other domain who then begins to explain but becomes too excited as he thinks about it leading him to ask a question he wants to know in the domain of the other scientist. THIS is the essence of science and the scientific mind and it is beautifully on display. Questions, questions, and more questions. What fun!
A slight deviation from what you would see on a Theistic show.
Does he make experiments, or is he just wasting time with words, writing books, and not a scientist? Does he even wear a lab coat?
Wow this can there please be this much production quality in future videos the intro and outro was on point! Makes this feel like we are backstage
Enjoyed every minute, the world needs more of this on a grand scale.....
I can watch this for eternity
DAWKINS WHAT A MAN
This is beautiful, indeed
Stumbling onto RD has improved my academics by so much. The approach to discussion in talks and his books are amazing, to put it simply.
I am really glad that I see Richards again in 2018. God bless!
Drop the God bit please
@@kangaroo1888 calm down, mate. The comment was pretty funny, don't get sensitive about it.
I
Wenhao Sun here we go again
Haha, good one!
This man is so important. Even all these years later, his enthusiasm and curiosity are captivating.
Haha About your cat, Mr Schrodinger, I have some good news and some bad news. 😂
Haha, that's a good one!
Fucking Schrodingers cat. I hate that shit with every fibre of my being. Such a bullshit solipsistic concept.
I lost my virginity to a 50 cent song in 2010. I found my virginity watching this video in 2023 thank you Dick and Mr. Greene.
This is the best Pangburn talk I've seen yet: this was an actual discussion, not a debate of "gotchas!"
It’s remarkably easier to have a pleasant and interesting discussion & keep the debates to a minimum) when both participants are rational & don’t enlist magical / supernatural claims in their arguments.
Brian Greene always does a great job as a mediator even if it’s just him and one other person. Richard Dawkins has so much knowledge and I love people who are honest in their convictions. I completely agree with him but if I didn’t , I would still have the upmost respect for him. His English Accent helps when he says certain things too. This was a great video which I knew it would be.
So fascinating! Wonderful talk.
Great discussion, very intellectually satisfying!
Briane Greene sounds like a sober version of Bill Maher
Omg yeeessss😂😂😂😂👌
Spot on...
He sounds like an arrogant prick to me
I liked him in Beverly Hills, 90210.
Haha...so true.
For me, the best line was when Greene said that he believes that we're just "bags of particles following the laws of physics AND NOTHING ELSE". That is what I think. His story admits his irrational side, (I call it my reptile brain) which I also have. Sometimes I do 'pray' for a good outcome to something, even though I am completely convinced that prayer is meaningless. It's just that there's nothing else to do in some dire situations. It's like when Homer Simpson said, "I'm not a praying man, but if you're out there... save me, Superman!"
Nate Wow what a hypocritical statement. Now I’ve seen it all thank you.
Nate yet Dawkins does not ridicule Greene for his religious beliefs.
Superman? That's the ubermensch of America. I still think religion is not natural to get into, I think I'm getting tired of it, but religion is addictive, and it's getting boring. I'm not proud of my obsessions because I get bored with them. I'm getting tired of religion, and perhaps my cure of religion is getting closer and closer. I don't know what to believe, am I to be secular? I don't know. Religion is uninteresting if you think about it, and so is atheism, or maybe common religions are contemptible. Why can't people just do without prayer, God, souls, spirits and anything like that? I think maybe, just maybe, anything of religion is a disease, and atheists get laughed at. Atheism is a religion, and I'm so very bored, I don't know how to stop.
Fabulous. I loved this.
Brian Greene has been my hero. Really want to meet him in person someday !
Brian Greene and Richard Dawkins having a conversation... Brilliant.
Great show.
Your time is not wasted when listening to Richard Dawkins
So mysterious, the interaction of matter and consciousness. It's still a long way before we can fully comprehend it.
Richard Dawkins my hero.
Only children need heroes.
He'll just have to settle for my admiration.
Who cares Michael, let the guy have his heroes.

Heroes, schmeroes.

Wild Bill, you sound really educated.....lol
@WILD BILL I think my Bible must be missing some pages! X
Amazing conversation, really. This is probably the most under-viewed video in all of TH-cam.
As a fellow Kootenay Kid i wish you the best in any endeavour you find your self in. Looking forward to your book.
I've learned a lot from these two.
I learned alot from Jesus!!!!
@@joakkley9659 when did he teach you anything btw?
@@joakkley9659Zeus taught me a lot, awesome dude.
Who else watched it all the way through? This guy did.
I'm tense listening to this the whole time because the mics are on the verge of feedback constantly.......ahhhhhhhhhh!
i watched to the end and no one got blown up, re-lax.
Richard Dawkins is awesome and eye opening. Big fan here
That is one of the greatest discussions I have ever had the good fortune of witnessing. Just amazing, and entertaining too. I'm not a scientist, but I was able to understand most of the conversation. Big thanks to all who were involved in the creation of this event/video.
What an excellent discussion. Both parties are highly respected scientists in their respective fields of science. Thank you for rationality!!!
God damn when Brian Greene spit that formula at 1:43:36 Richard started clapping like a happy seal lol
The Watcher
and that is your educated comment on this video ? waow sir, you really amaze me.
@@KIJs-gc6ux Thank you
Great vid, these guys are amazing
Absolutely rivetting, fantastic conversation. B.G and R.D work exquisitely together.
HAHA Richard when he said that he wouldnt spend a night in a haunted house. haha perfect response.
@laurencefisher1 What a stupid thing to ever be typed.
laurencefisher1 Relax Socrates
laurencefisher1 wow your delusion is so deeply layered it’s hypocritical, backwards , irrational and oblivious all at once 😂
@laurencefisher1 You need to get smart! Tell me how we have Adam and Eve that popped out of fin air only 6000 years ago, and the dinosaurs of 65 million years ago and the prehistoric man just over a hundred thousand years ago.....waiting!
@laurencefisher1 Cant tell if troll or dumb?
Brian Greene looks totally pissed at that dude in the beginning for not even acknowledging him in the presence of Dawkins.
@laurencefisher1 it must be sad to be so closed minded. I feel sorry for you.
laurencefisher1 fuck off troll
Very enjoyable !
I love the humility with which Richard Dawkins so obviously appreciated what Brian Greene had to say! Such a class and high level human.
There is no hell, only mortality. Loss of consciousness, decaying flesh, food for worms. The Truth and only the Truth shall free your soul in eternity. The lie shall be your final and deserving fate. This is the Truth revealed through humility and wisdom and love. :)
Reminds me Rwanda 1994 such wisdom words
Joe Ellerbrock wow you must be a fun person to live with That was so ........ deep zzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Joe Ellerbrock Atheists are sad sad individuals who believe in eternal oblivion. But you’re right there is no hell or heaven it’s what you make of it.
Intro Cerna Atheists talk about things they do not know all the time, so do theists. It’s either you one or the other cowboy.
@@markanthonyk1504 It is true that we both do know the absolute truth. Fine tuning of the universe clearly shows that existence of life happening spontaneously is of extremely low probability. Therefore agnostic theism is better choice than atheism.
I am flabergasted by their patience answering idiotic questions about connection betweens dark energy and consciousness and other bs. Great talk though. Taught me patience.
i wouldn't dismiss this kind of "jedi-ism", it may turn out that entanglement does have more effect than we can now detect, never forget arthur clark, scientists can be wrong, even greene admits to trying a prayer, they don't "work" but maybe they influence. thought for the day : if you pray basically you're telling god you don't like his current plan and that you have a better idea.
How great is it that we live in a time where we are able to watch conversations between the great minds of our time. When I was a kid it was hard enough to find out facts let alone hear the opinions of the top minds in science. Growing up in the 80s/90s you either had to be in the room with an expert or hope there was a book at the library to answer your questions. It was also super easy for people to make sht up and you had no way of fact-checking what they told you. We live in a great time, make the most of how easy it is to educate your self nowadays. 💯
we need more contents just like these. basically uplifting the understanding of science to people! to question everything that we see, and teach kids to ask the right question.
Song in the intro and in the end- "Visions" by Small town artillery.
Thank you dude! Was looking for it.
The inspirational Richard Dawkins has created his own legacy that will influence many generations to come. One of the most critical thinkers of our time propagating truth, logic and reason 🙏
And what has Dawkins inspired?
laurencefisher1 if we follow the money then we can also take a long hard look at evangelical preachers and pastors who enjoy their tax free status and exploit the system so far as the mega-churches that rake in millions of dollars from people’s hard earned wages just to sell them snake oil and a pipedream. Meanwhile these charlatans can be happy AF in their multi million dollar homes and travel in their private jets. Following the money brought me to this conclusion maybe you should practice what you preach.
Karlos Jeffers what? Sam Harris is far more intelligent then Dorkins
"Religion began when the first scoundrel met the first fool." *Voltaire*
Always wonderful and soothing to listen to Richard Dawkins. Can anyone tell me the title of that opening song ? It's a beautiful piece of music.
Small Town Artillery - Visions
I have a dumb question:
What is the language in which information is written in the DNA? And how does this information get interpreted, so as to allow certain genetic traits to be active?
Thanks to anyone who gives a logical answer!
Well its over an year now, but from what I know, there are 4 nitrogenous bases, or four nitrogen compounds (A,G,C,T) and they form hydrogen bonds with other and thus give the helix and ladder like shape of DNA, where the rungs of the ladder are Hydrogen bonds which is connecting the nitrogenous bases.
I am not sure of how it gets interpretated, and from what I know, we don't know much about particular genes, though we do know the gene responsible for producing insulin in the body.
Three years now, but it’s never too late to learn.
It’s a chemical language.
th-cam.com/video/TNKWgcFPHqw/w-d-xo.html
Please bear in mind that "Language" as it is used here, is entirely metaphorical - it is not literally a language like Hindi, Tagalog, or Swahili.
Good health to you!!

{:o:O:}
I know same here
There were many good questions..great talk
i like both this guys
Yay a video I have not watched!!! 😎🥰🧐
i dont know about everyone complaining for some reason but these are cool videos
I'm sure Richard Dawkins has talked about this many times, but it seems strange in a country where there is a separation of church and state there are so many issues relating to the education of creationist dribble. But in countries where there is no such separation (UK, Sweeden etc) this is not really an issue.
great to hear them mention the hard problem of consciousness, they didn't discuss it at length but it still gives some hope that science will go to a greater view of reality that will finally include the only thing we can be sure of, the fact that we are conscious
India needs Richard Dawkins.
India needs proper scientific interest in science instead of Bollywood.
India need to close down BJP and madrassas
Through "The God Delusion" speech he gave in 2006, Richard Dawkins changed my life for good.
@laurencefisher1 Why are you talking about TV evangelists?
Through getting to know Jesus, it changed my life for eternity. I doubt Mr. Dawkins can compete with that.
His book of the same title settled my mind as well. I don't believe in God, Mars, Allah, or the Spaghetti Monster. I believe in human endeavor and the progression of knowledge.
Clavers Odhiambo how so?
Mark Anthony K I was confused about believing in God when I bumped into his speech. A couple of these later and I discovered I was actually an atheist and why it’s a logical choice to make.
Brian Greene's respect and admiration for Sir Richard Dawkins is so cool! Plus not too much muddy discussion about religion keeps it all clean about science for the first half.
Wow! Two of the best united in one single night!! Cheers from Costa Rica!!! The world is watching!!!! 👍🏽👍🏼👍🏻
What an enlightening conversation on profound mistry of life but wish Brian would let Dawkins speak more than himself. If you draw a list of most beautiful minds of humanity, Richard Dawkins and Carl Sagan will always be there.
Brian Greene will one day teach me,InshaAllah

Thank you! ; )
The Most mind opening discourse on Scientific knowledge, Great Clarity in explaining the grandeur of science by Richard Dawkins and Brian Greene...
Im Live from the Ghetto sending much love to Mr.Dawkins and B.G!! Absolutly Love You guys!!💪🏾💪🏾💯💯❤️❤️
Amazing. Thanks for that stupid meme that everyone is using ❤️
You're a terrible business but you make good content, Travis. It's really a shame it had to end this way.
@islanti Putting people in a room that everyone wants to see and recording it is, getting good content. If he didn't do it then we wouldn't have these conversations that we've been seeing lately so, that alone makes it good content imo BUT, I will agree he's hopeless at recording them, Richard and Brets talk had parts missing everywhere, the one talk everyone wanted to hear too.
Pretty interesting interview whit someone behind the scene.
th-cam.com/video/c5HrkJ9QWxM/w-d-xo.html
It's almost like he needed a philosopher to work with him for the moral stuff.
@Jstewify lol yeah that's why you're here watching. So many Bret and Dawkins collabs before this..
@@jamesyboy4626 Most of these people had already spoken with each other anyway. It's not a huge feat to put people in a room and get them to talk. It is if done well and pangburn did it badly.
Fantastic discussion by two great minds and science communicators.
