Richard Dawkins @ Big Think: While science is indelibly distinct from the field of ethics, Richard Dawkins believes that there are a number of ways in which its facts and reasoning could greatly benefit our ability to understand and repair the worlds suffering.

As always, I love Dawkins

I spent 20 minutes earlier waiting for the video to load... you're got to respect someone a lot to do that

[Watson]

I can't watch the video right now but, seriously? That little summary of Dawkins views on science being used to understand and repair the world's damages...and people consider this man a genious Of course science can do that!

Forgive me, I've just never liked Dawkins at all.

Forgive me, I've just never liked Dawkins at all.

People consider him a genius for other things, namely his work in biology. I find it funny that you find it hard to believe he's a genius based on this, and your post was filled with the most basic spelling errors.

Just so you know, not liking someone is no grounds to dismiss them, or their work.

[Watson]

Because spelling is obviously a fundamental part of being a genius.

No, I don't dismiss his work because I don't like him, I don't like him because of his work, his ideas, and his attitude.

[Tiberius]

Because spelling is obviously a fundamental part of being a genius.

Yes...it is.

[Watson]

So...a dislexic is incapable of being a genius?

[Tiberius]

Dislexic genii overcome their disability by coming up with another system of handling reading / writing, so no. However, such a statement as yours is irrelevant unless you are a dyslexic yourself. Are you?

[Watson]

No, i tisn't irrellevant since what you suggested was that people who made spelling errors were somehow inferior intellectually. Dyslexia causes one to make spelling errors until they learn of different methods to read and write.

Also, genius's are just as human as the next person, and entirely capable of making spelling errors, too. I have not claimed to be a genius, and I'm working with what I've got; a keyboard which can sometimes betray me.

fr0d0 - What? What are you- HAHA
