Enemies of Reason Ep.1 (2 of 5)

Part One - Slaves to Superstition

Prof Richard Dawkins tackles the epidemic of irrational, superstitious thinking which is blotting the light of logic and evidence. After garnering tips on psychics' entirely earthly trade secrets from the illusionist Derren Brown, Dawkins attends a seance and confronts the medium. Time and again, the interviewees appeal to personal revelation or second-hand anecdote to justify their belief.

it is a shame a show like this even has to be made. it's like grown adults watching sesame street and still not understanding how to count

It has been researched on what your body does when you tell a lie. One of them is looking to the left (as you´re imagening it up) and one is to pinch your ear, also generally avoiding eye contact. Just google "body language when lying". And look at 05:57 :-)

Psychic "Extra-Large" rather than "Mediums" in most cases!

Now, there's no need to offend our intelligent canine friends. Despite the innate sense of reason human beings are disposed to - the intellectual component that distinguishes us from animals - seldom do I see it being used to its full potential. A dog may chew on its own arse, but people believe in Astrology.

I like how they always say 'change'/'changes'.
