Baby Hercules Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 Wow, I didn't even know about these interviews, thanks so much for posting, Robert! I'm a huge Dawkins fan although I run a little more touchy-feely and sentimental than he does. I'm not sure if that's better or worse but I appreciate the science and all the painstaking research he does for his books. Baby Herc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robert Posted December 24, 2011 Author Share Posted December 24, 2011 Awesome! I'm a big fan of Dawkins and becoming an even bigger fan of Singer I watch a lot of this kinds of stuff. It's my education in the background, or while totally focused, throughout the day as I go through my day to day business. I'll post some other good stuff soon. Peace.

Richard Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 cool, yeah I enjoy this, although I am irritated that Dawkins doesn't take it that seriously, and equates it to celebrating christmas even though he's not religious. I wish I had been there because I could crush that comparison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robert Posted December 25, 2011 Author Share Posted December 25, 2011 Yes, that surprised me a lot about Dawkins. It really did, and he just kinda laughed and brushed it off saying vegan food doesn't taste very nice. I love Dawkins, he has been a great role model for me for years, but I'm glad Singer jumps right on him saying he has an obligation to know how animal foods are made and that he should consider his own choices to become more moral and ethical. Of course Dawkins wanted to steer the conversation toward religion, as he does anytime he can, but Singer gave him a lot to think about. He should have even been a little more aggressive, prodding Richard to take an ethical vegan stance and rise to that "challenge" as it were.

Baby Hercules Posted December 25, 2011 Share Posted December 25, 2011 but Singer gave him a lot to think about Yes, and this is key. I'll bet Singer planted a seed. Intellectuals tend to mull things over and over. I'll bet Dawkins has been thinking about it ever since. Too bad he doesn't hang out here--we've give him some fabulous recipes that would turn him in a second! Baby Herc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
