  • Richard Dawkins FRS FRSL (born 26 March 1941) is a British ethologist, evolutionary biologist, and writer. He is an emeritus fellow of New College, Oxford, and was the University of Oxford's Professor for Public Understanding of Science from 1995 until 2008.
    Dawkins is a noted atheist, a patron of the British Humanist Association, and a supporter of the Brights movement,and is well known for his criticism of creationism and intelligent design. In his 1986 book The Blind Watchmaker, he argues against the watchmaker analogy, an argument for the existence of a supernatural creator based upon the complexity of living organisms. Instead, he describes evolutionary processes as analogous to a blind watchmaker. Dawkins first came to prominence with his 1976 book The Selfish Gene, which popularised the gene-centred view of evolution and introduced the term meme. In 1982, he introduced into evolutionary biology the influential concept that the phenotypic effects of a gene are not necessarily limited to an organism's body, but can stretch far into the environment, including the bodies of other organisms. This concept is presented in his book The Extended Phenotype.
    Satish Kumar (9 August 1936) is an Indian activist and editor. He has been a Jain monk, nuclear disarmament advocate, pacifist,and is the current editor of Resurgence & Ecologist magazine. Now living in England, Kumar is founder and Director of Programmes of the Schumacher College international centre for ecological studies, and of The Small School. His most notable accomplishment is a peace walk with a companion to the capitals of four of the nuclear-armed countries - Washington, London, Paris and Moscow, a trip of over 8,000 miles.[4] He insists that reverence for nature should be at the heart of every political and social debate. Defending criticism that his goals are unrealistic, he has said,
    Look at what realists have done for us. They have led us to war and climate change, poverty on an unimaginable scale, and wholesale ecological destruction. Half of humanity goes to bed hungry because of all the realistic leaders in the world. I tell people who call me "unrealistic" to show me what their realism has done. Realism is an outdated, overplayed and wholly exaggerated concept

    Loved the explanation on spirit
    Because ive read that "spirit is the true nature of the self "
    I think it is a rather difficult definition to explain

    The way I see it is that we call different things different names because it's necessary for making sense of the numerous ways in wich everything manifests itself, specially if we ought to comunicate and get to a mutual understanding about anything. And that does not mean things are really separate, it just means we construct layers and layers to be able to make sense of it.
    But fundamentally everything is the same thing. And modern science has done a great deal to tell us HOW.

    The thing is when you focus on one thing you are not solving problems,you are actually just fixing part and the whole program get effected,when line in code gets corrupted whole system stope working so as every line matters every problem matter for for nation for world it's another thing if we don't see.Political,medical crises, economic crises everything matter for nation so nation exist that's why economy poltical oartyyexist

    Kumar calls an arborist to remove a dead tree from his property. He's bewildered when he returns home to find all the soil and water removed and the gardener sent home. Kumar: "I just wanted you to remove the tree!" Arborist: "Don't be simplistic."

    • @melroycorrea7720
      @melroycorrea7720 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Ha ha! But then, Kumar is using language in a different way when he tells someone to engage in a practical act of cutting a tree than when he uses language to understand the essence of a tree.

    I am completely agree with Dr. Dawkins😊😊😊. I also think the word Spirit is nothing but a child of primitive phylosopic point of view.
    And Spirit in Rock doesn't sence anymore.

      Again those who don't believe in layers between right and wrong, will always be stuck in cycle duality or b&w. Atheism nowadays is too keen to explain things in "is or not" they are getting far-far away from the reason.

    Amazing to see Dawkins unable to understand something so basic and obvious due to getting stuck in his preconceptions.

      So you think Dawkins just hasn't thought it through? Ever consider the possibility that you're the one who's stuck in your preconceptions?

    Bring Sadhguru and Scientists like Dawkins, Tyson, Kaku etc. for this kind of discussion, with Joe Rogan as a mediator or even Swami Sarvapriyananda for that matter.

    Spirit of law means the way law works for the mass people of India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh, absolutely spiritless. But in Bhutan law has a spirit. Very greenish but that very green is not alone. There is an invisible green also. A being within a being. We can't touch it but can be touched through sensation. Very entangled with the outer expression. That is the holistic entity treated as spirit. Satish sir, am I close?

    Satish is repeatedly saying “spirit is the quality of this”, “spirit is the quality of that”. Is he so dumb as to not realize that “quality” is simply a better word and for what he is describing, and that he is literally using it?

    The difference between the two worldviews is, one is trying to be very precise in one's language to the detriment of reducing all experience to things that can be measured and manipulated while the other is trying to do justice to the richness of his experience to the detriment of using terms in confusing ways.

    This video is from a series called 'Richard Dawkins - Enemies of Reason'. I want to clear up any misconception someone might have that Dawkins somehow endorses any of the pseudoscience that comes out of Mr Kumar's mouth.

    • @adamproject333

      Dawkins is a reductionist thinking man
      and can't understand easy holistic idea
      that's all
