'Tragic' for universities to have 'bought into the idea' of being safe: Richard Dawkins

British evolutionary biologist and author Richard Dawkins says universities are places where people should be free to speak their minds and also to listen, even to things they don't like.
“University is the one place you should not feel safe - certainly not intellectually safe," he told Sky News Australia host Piers Morgan.
“Intellectually you should be challenged.
"It's very tragic that universities seem to have bought into the idea that if you don't like what you think you're going to hear from someone, you should shut them up and refuse to let them speak."

    I was a gifted student and young mensa member who left high school to escape from the idiocy and wait for direct college admission. I'll put it this way; college was not merely significantly dumber than high school. I also was working retail to pay my bills. Having conversations about politics with my minimum wage coworkers became an intellectual escape from the sheer woke, pillpopping stupidity and fanatical anti-white racism of my university. Merely not being exposed to such garbage makes for a far more vibrant mind.

    @@turnerfamilyinozi The term woke initially began in black ethnocentrist circles as slang for "awake" to signify belief in a theory that blacks are the true humans and that other races were artificially engineered by a traitorous black scientist. This term soon spilled over into the more mainstream black power culture, was used by several radical activists and "woke" shirts became popular there in the 2010s. From there, along with the invention of the "microaggression", it was adopted by the trans movement and "tumblr' scene (which is ironic because the black racial movement had been rather anti-gay). At that point, it became an umbrella term for viral beliefs that are unbacked by science or history, but spread through academia and cinema via physical or financial intimidation. 2020 onwards, it has most often been used by the western right to describe public submission to nonsensical, nonscientific and often short-lived mob ideologies, ranging from early covid hysteria to russiagate believers. Institutionally it refers to powerful "civil rights" groups that achieve their original goals, are faced with the prospect of disbanding, and instead invent increasingly absurd and specific allegations of "supremacy" to the point that their political demands necessitate the subjugation of others and the censorship of the sciences.

    It is tragic. Universities were supposed to be the antithesis of what they are now. They were supposed to challenge young people's preconceptions and previously held beliefs. To expand their world. Expand their comfort zone, not indulge it. To make them ready for the world. The life ahead. Which is a bumpy ride. Instead universities are basically functioning as babysitting services for after-school young adults. Completely failing their duties as educational bodies and only functioning as businesses. As long as the almighty dollar is driving this educational machine, it will keep churning out these pompous, spoilt, overpriviliged, clueless, weak spirited, self righteous ideologs who are convinced that they are entitled to change everybody and everything around them in order to maintain their personal comfort zone.

I'm talking about a specific subgroup of people who come through the system and are indulged at every turn. They pay money and feel entitled to never feel uncomfortable in the world. If you've studied on campus long enough, you will have met some. And, unfortunately, they are the ones who have influenced the atmosphere in universities the most because it is easier for unis to indulge them than to stand ground on a principle.

    I did a mature age admission, wound up with a working group of two forty year olds, a 17 and a 20 year old. Whenever we decided on a meal break, a pizza run, a pub run or any decision to cater for the group members, the 17 and 20 year olds had differing tastes and would argue the "best" item to get. The older ones would make the decision and go get it. The 17 year old would constantly argue that it wasn't fair. One day I asked "to whom?" For about 3 years I got the 'fish out of water' look then one day, the penny dropped.

A thirteen year old kid once mentioned in casual conversation that in nature, there are no rights or wrongs, merely consequences. With man, we develop these little rules in order to keep those kids safe from themselves in order to avoid those consequences. They then stumble blindly on trying to tell everyone what to do in order to make it so.

Richard Dawkins was the grown up in the room, quietly spoken, did not attempt to compete for space to finish his point. He was articulate, concise, and patient. This is an excellent interview for Piers to review, reflect on and perhaps change his style out of respect for his viewers and not out of the need to be combative, competitive, or egocentric. We all remain hopeful.

    @@HarrySmith-hr2iv Harry you are rude. However, I will respond. Discussions are informal and open-ended conversations among participants, interviews are structured conversations between an interviewer and an interviewee to gather information, and forums are online discussion platforms where users can share information and interact with others on various topics. Piers starts off by saying he is going head-to-head. In that context, I concede it was not an interview. "Going head to head", as you probably know, is an idiom that means to engage in direct competition or conflict with someone and confront each other in a direct and often aggressive manner. However, Richard Dawkins did not engage in the 'head -to-head, but allowed himself to be interviewed. An interview is a formal conversation between two people, usually conducted by one person (the interviewer) who asks questions to the other person (the interviewee). The purpose of an interview is to gather information, opinions, or insights from the interviewee, who is typically an expert or a person with specific knowledge or experience on a particular topic. Interviews are structured and follow a predetermined set of questions or topics, and the interviewer generally controls the conversation. In your reply you say "In your opinion, yes". Well, it's my opinion that counts. It was my comment originally. By all means disagree with me. That is the freedom exercised on this forum. The point of my original comment was to highlight that Piers has a dominating interjection style, that prevents the free flow of an answer. You mistook mild sarcasm for youth. As an older person, I appreciate an interview where the subject is the hero, not the combative style of the interviewer. As far as being a girl, you are quite wrong. I was born whilst the Korean War was was just getting started. In fact, I was born 3 weeks after the British Army landed in Korea in September 1950. My father was a Korean Veteran, he has since passed. There is no need for you to apologise for your youthful outburst or indiscretion. As a final thought, I don't usually rely on my age as an authority for my comments. However, in your case it was important that you learn to treat people with respect and not prejudge people by forming an uneducated opinion, based on imagination.

    Richard Dawkins is not a 'controversialist' or offensive. In the vast majority of debates I have seen him in, he is extremely polite -- far more so than his opponents and most other public atheists. What he does, however, is to just make the points that should be made without backing down or censoring himself to stop the other side getting irate. He very rarely adds to that anything that is unnecessarily antagonistic. The difference is clear. If you tell a friend who is overweight but has not noticed that they are overweight then that is factual and a helpful message. If you say they are overweight because they are a stupid, greedy pig then that's unnecessarily antagonistic and offensive. I think this ability that Dawkins has is key to his extraordinary influence, including a large number of people who have been helped out of religions by his work.

    The near death experience is most likely caused by a sudden release of DMT that causes this hallucination. It’s what people who used DMT describe as well. And I find it very comfortable that when I die it’s all over it all stops. I got the most out of my life and made stupid mistakes learned from the grew as a person and then I’m done. The idea of my conscious living in is a nightmare scenarios. Just dying and not knowing is something to look out to.

    God has always existed. He had no beginning. Something had to have no beginning in order for everything to exist. Atheists believe that two atoms collided that caused the big bang. You can either believe the two atoms had no beginning, and then randomly decided to collide together. Or you can believe something created the atoms and then something had to creat the thing that created the atoms. And thereby you had a never ending chain of things creating things until the atoms are created that caused the big bang. Or you can believe that an intelligent life form had no beginning and created everything we know today. To me that seems the most reasonable.

    Once upon a time there was a vast and empty void. It was an endless expanse of nothingness, with no matter, energy, or even light. But within this emptiness, there was a tiny spark. It was a singularity, a point of infinite density and temperature, where the laws of physics as we know them break down. And from this spark, the universe was born. At the very beginning of time, the universe was incredibly small and hot. All the matter and energy that would one day form galaxies, stars, and planets was packed into a tiny, zero-dimensional space. This space was so small that it could hold just a few elementary particles, the building blocks of matter. But even in this tiny space, something incredible was happening. The particles were held together by a powerful force, known as the Strong Nuclear Force. This force is responsible for binding the protons and neutrons in the nucleus of an atom, and without it, the particles would simply fly apart. As the universe expanded and cooled, the particles began to combine to form atoms, molecules, and eventually, the first stars and galaxies. And yet, even as the universe grew and evolved, the Strong Nuclear Force continued to hold the particles together. As scientists peered deeper into the structure of matter, they discovered that the particles themselves were made up of even smaller building blocks, known as quarks. And once again, the Strong Nuclear Force was there, binding the quarks together to form protons and neutrons. The story of the Strong Nuclear Force is intimately connected to the story of our universe. It is the force that holds matter together, from the smallest particles to the largest structures in the cosmos. Without it, the universe as we know it could not exist. And so, as we gaze up at the stars and ponder the mysteries of the universe, let us remember the tiny, zero-dimensional space that holds our quarks together with the Strong Nuclear Force, and the role it has played in shaping our cosmic history.

Let suppose I believe Dawkins, then that mean I risk my life to hold his view on there is no God and then i'll be damned in hell forever (if finally Dawkins is wrong). Another option is, I believe in Piers Morgan's view i.e. I believe in God and do good deeds, then if Piers Morgan is wrong (i.e. Dawkins is right), then there will be no consequence after all. So from this decision, it is wiser to think and benefit me if I do believe there is a God and there will be life after death as Piers Morgan's view.

    My suggestion to Richard Dawkins would be to randomly cast the question, if he is courageous enough, 'God, are you real?'... He may be surprised at the answer he receives! I was brought to church as a child and I asked that question as a teenager, I'm 64 years old now and the answers continue to come!

    If there is no god, then how can you do 'damage' another person? How can you 'damage' yourself? (What would it matter, if you did?) Define 'damage'. All things being relative, the person becomes the arbiter of 'damage' don't they? Or do they become a god? (Replace 'person' or 'they' with 'self' alternatively for an immediate conflict of 'damage'. However IF there IS a God, all subjectivity (making self the arbiter, the only [of billions] god) dissolves, and all each human is left with is divining or knowing the will of that real God, rather than the will of the selfish.

    If Piers Morgan would shut up and let the man finish his sentences we may have been enlightened somewhat, however he did not, and threw away a great opportunity for a good debate ,obviously his upbringing did not include such basics as good manners , I also was raised as a catholic, I had no choice , none of did as kids, we were in a position where we had to accept dogma , that is the real tragedy of organised Religion, let kids grow up to be adults before you attempt to indoctrinate them and see how far you get. For the record I stopped accepting the brainwashing I was subjected to when I was about 14 years old.

    A roadblock to eternal bliss in the afterlife -- the one where everything is peachy and we are reunited with those we truly loved and who made living on earth positive, joyful experiences -- is different expectations from different individuals. Say, for instance, an adult's significant other dies 'much too yoiung' so s/he ends up with another partner / mate for the remainder of his / her existence. So, in the blissful afterlife where the streets are lined with gold, does the adult who had two spouses due to untimely death choose one mate over the other? . . . Children, young or of adult age when they die, of a couple who experienced divorce, a likely scenario: the female -- for whatever reason because emotions are so complicated -- was always partial to her birth mother whereas her brother much preferred his stepmom. So now we have siblings who got along and adore each other, but yet they're not going to be together in Heaven or a similiar, eternally 'happy place' because the girl loves her biological mom the most whereas her brother -- despite the fact his / their mom was absolutely great -- feels more fond of his stepmother.than his birth mother. Meanwhile 'the man of the house' might say / feel to his children, "Your mother was the best thing that happened to my life and / but I could not have asked for a better second wife. But, for eternity I'll choose 'number one'. How sad for the second wife AND for the children -- siblings who will be split for eternity over this. . . . Then, the whole idea of forgiveness of sins is over-the-top complex. How do you suppose the soul of a victim of a school shooting responds in the Afterlife when s/he -- while rejoicing with his / her beloved grandparents, beloved best friend, beloved girl friend / boy friend and, perhaps and quite logical, beloved favorite teacher -- see the maniacal, mass murderer who's 'gotten a pass' because s/he begged for 'forgiveness of sins' and his / her plea was accepted by the Higher Being? Thank you, Sky News Australia, for presenting this engaging, enlightening discussion between Piers Morgan and Richard Dawkins, who for the benefit of their audience and because they're mature and behave like gentlemen, did not yell and 'name call'.

So, in the blissful afterlife where the streets are lined with gold, does the adult who had two spouses due to untimely death choose one mate over the other?" There is no marriage in heaven. That takes care of your entire first paragraph. "Then, the whole idea of forgiveness of sins is over-the-top complex. How do you suppose the soul of a victim of a school shooting responds in the Afterlife when s/he -- while rejoicing with his / her beloved grandparents, beloved best friend, beloved girl friend / boy friend and, perhaps and quite logical, beloved favorite teacher -- see the maniacal, mass murderer who's 'gotten a pass' because s/he begged for 'forgiveness of sins' and his / her plea was accepted by the Higher Being?" Easily (once they are in heaven, if not before). They rejoice that, like all of us, their sins have been forgiven, and they are now good people. I have a _lot_ of disagreement with Dawkins, but I would rejoice to see him in Heaven. You see a maniacal mass murderer as being a terrible person (which he is; I'm not minimising that), but from God's perspective of absolute perfection, so are you (and I). We are _all_ people who don't deserve heaven, but God grants His grace to us all, because none of us are capable of earning our way to heaven.

    The Lord himself will be answer enough to all questions and complexities of earthly relationships and Jesus told his followers when asked about marriage in heaven, that in heaven there would be no marriages to one another. It seems to me that our freedom in heaven is to love our creator and in His complete wisdom, we'll be able to love one another as He loves us.
