Welcome to another episode of Conversations with Coleman. My guest today is Richard Dawkins.

I assume most of you know who he is, but in case you've been living under Iraq, Richard Dawkins is an evolutionary biologist and emeritus fellow at Oxford University. And if I listed all the awards he's received in his lifetime, we'd never get to the interview. His books include The Selfish Gene, the Extended

Phenotype, the Blind Watchmaker, the God Delusion, Unweaving the Rainbow, and many others.

His latest book is called Flights of Fancy, in which he explores and explains the phenomenon

of flight, both in the animal world and in man-made technology.

We didn't get to discuss this book in this episode, but I really recommend you all check it out.

Topics we discuss here include technological progress, whether race is a social construct or

biological reality, the mystery of consciousness,

the concept of a meme which Richard invented,

religion and its relationship to a happy life,

whether wokeness plays the role of a religion in people's lives.

And finally, Richard gives his advice to up-and-coming scientists.

So without further ado, Richard Dawkins.

Okay, Richard Dawkins.

Thanks so much for coming on my show.
