Slaves to Superstition (3/5)

Is it rational that the dead can communicate with the living and give sound advice on how they should live their lives? What about sticking pins into your body to free the flow of Chi energy and cure your illness? Or the bending of spoons using your mind alone? Is that rational? Richard Dawkins doesn't think so, and feels it is his duty to expose those areas of belief that exist without scientific proof, yet manage to hold the nation under their spell. He will take on the world's leading proponents in their field of expertise, meet the victims who have used them and expose the history of the movements -- from the charlatans who have milked these practices to the experiments and testing that have failed to produce conclusive results.

The Enemies of Reason Part 1: Slaves to Superstition
Richard Dawkins (2007)

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.

@clschnei haha its cool bro.

[clschnei]

@seazk303 Ah, I see. Forgive me, I figured you meant Dawkins. Only assumed since he's the one talking through most of the video. And yes, Dawkins is awesome.

[seazk303]

@clschnei uh no. i was flaming on the guy who is supposedly talking to the dead and saying stuff like "im getting the name Susan" Dawkins is awesome so calm your tits bro.

[clschnei]

@seazk303 Yeah, he's a douche for making you look at the other side of the coin. Are you seriously this closed minded that you have to flame Dawkins on a YouTube comment? Terrific for you that I was able to see this and give you attention you definitely don't deserve. So, you're welcome.

[seazk303]

omygosh that guy is a douche. messing with peoples minds like that
