Second part (of five) of the 2007 documentary Slaves to Superstition. Biologist and professor 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.

  • ''Uhh... my grandmother had a name beginning with E.''

    At last something I can identify with?

    "I do feel with her she had a lot of cats.'' -"A lot of...?!" -"Cats."

    Perhaps not.

    "She never had a cat. She hated cats, in fact." -"Right........"

  • @baahhhFATALITY11 Very true.

  • I FEEL CAPS LOCK UNDER MY FINGER

    I FEEL the wisdom of Richard Dawkins

    NOW I DO FEEL quotes from the video

    AND I DO FEEL a sense of humor

    BUT I DO FEEL you agreeing that the one psychic spoke in a quick and odd yet funny way

    *squeezes eyes shut*

    WHAT I DO FEEL IS this comment will get a lot of thumbs up.

  • @insanic1 White people? The average IQ applies to every human on earth.

  • the average iq of white people is around a 100 so there is plenty of them to fall around 90 and below, which matches up to the number of superstitious people out there.

  • Damn I love Richard.

  • the true story about every seer!..endless fleecing ideas..get a life..atheism forever

  • @maccarolldabass I'm in the same predicament pal.
