At work.
Just thinking about your post Bell and something struck me. (Enough to post/reply/question)
In the first part you've mentioned Dawkin's giving his opinion on a subject. That of individuals with a genetic issue. Then mentioned that (Here's where my comprehension gets fuzzy) that Dawkin's can't give a logical or scientific backing for said opinion.
Uhm....... are they even the right 'Things' to be trying to use as a measuring stick (In search of a good analogy/term) about the matter?
Personally, I'm watching someone slowly being financially crippled/crushed by giving the support needed to assist someone of such a disposition survive.
Is one person's physical and mental health worth more than another's?
Sorry to present the above, I'm certainly still torn about it all...... But the way Dawkin's position was painted.... has me rather scratching my head about that matter is all.
The second bit? Yah, well there are literary works whose worth I too find dubious even after the study thereof.
Perhaps Dawkin's is simply seeking a wider audience than (Tongue partially in cheek) cloistered academics?
Perhaps he seeks more a reflection from the 'Common person'?
He has asked the internet as a whole with his tweet and/as such. *Shrug*
Cheers.
