Dawkins makes new foes

The unreasonably reasonable Richard Dawkins moves on. First, if you have seen Dawkins' last series "The Root of All Evil", where the subject was religion, then you're familiar with his basic approach. He pretends being interested and then uses a rather narrow argument to disprove something that, more or less, disproves itself, but he fails to grasp the deeper features of the phenomenon.

This now, is the first part of "The Enemies of Reason"! The general logic remains intact, though the enemy is now more accurately defined, namely superstition, or as Dawkins may prefer - nonsense. It even starts with an ingroup chanting of daimoku (i.e. Namu Myoho Renge Kyo), which I would agree is a great example of nonsense, and in most cases superstition. But then, I have a divided take on Dawkins and an uncommon take on mantra. Time 48 minutes. Enjoy!
