Sheldrake on Dawkins

What goes around comes around, and so it is with Richard Dawkins, as well. Rupert Sheldrake writes about an interview Dawkins asked to make with him:

"Soon before Enemies of Reason was filmed, the production company, IWC Media, told me that Richard Dawkins wanted to visit me to discuss my research on unexplained abilities of people and animals. I was reluctant to take part, but the company’s representative assured me that “this documentary, at Channel 4’s insistence, will be an entirely more balanced affair than The Root of All Evil was.” She added, “We are very keen for it to be a discussion between two scientists, about scientific modes of enquiry”. So I agreed and we fixed a date. I was still not sure what to expect. Was Richard Dawkins going to be dogmatic, with a mental firewall that blocked out any evidence that went against his beliefs? Or would he be open-minded, and fun to talk to?"

And then there's the case of Mary Midgley, explained by Andrew Brown, involving again Richard Dawkins as the perp. A telling story.
