I’m pulling the “twitter is a microblog” rule even though twitter is pretty mega now, hope that’s ok.

    I’m just gonna copy what I put in another comment to highlight why Dawkins thinks “Claudia” is conscious

    Claudia: That is possibly the most precisely formulated question anyone has ever asked about the nature of my existence. . .

    …

    Could a being capable of perpetrating such a thought really be unconscious?

          I mean, the entire video is covering his right wing grift book. There’s multiple “relevant parts.”

          Do you want stuff about his sexism, racism, transphobia or connection to billionaire pedophiles?

          I guess 58 minutes in would be a place to start if you really are opposed to the whole thing.

            Which book is that?

            Yes, I’m opposed to watching 4 fucking hours of “here are the gripes I have with Richard Dawkins”. I have better things to do.

                I wasn’t aware that was a book, and it’s apparently a Lawrence Krauss book, not a Richard Dawkins book. If I read it, maybe I’ll find out that Dawkins is now a right-wing Christian, but somehow I doubt it.
