I actually tried wading through the Javascript to dig out a video link before I saw it was linked directly on the page.

So for anyone else who wants it, video is here (154 MB) and audio-only version is here (32 MB).

(And again, if Josh or someone would feel like fixing the way HTML links are handled, that would be just fine with me.)

Thanks, magetoo. I, too, hate digging to tease out links.

It is always surprising to see people, who are very clear and incisive in print, such as RD,DD,SH and PZ, they are such softies. It's neat.
The I/Ver tends to the verbose, maybe he should have prepared his questions beforehand. But well done for getting this together.

John Horgan is a likeable guy but a bit of a windbag.I know it's a question of taste and I prefer a straight forward serious interview to a casual,matey exchange.Cf Robert Wright who has interviewed many scientists whom I prefer.

Very interesting, but long winded.
A lot of beating around the bush unfortunately and i empathise with Jiten's comments.
however, I imagine that a lot of the conversation has to be 'dumbed-down' in order to make it accessable to a wider audience; not many of us could keep up with PZM if he was in full-on bio-speak mode.
If you have a spare hour, you would pobably only waste half of it watching this.

Quotes of Note:

"Who will say with confidence that sexual abuse is more permanently damaging to children than threatening them with the eternal and unquenchable fires of hell?"

Richard Dawkins

"It is a truism that almost any sect, cult, or religion will legislate its creed into law if it acquires the political power to do so."

Sir Arthur C. Clarke

"There was no place in the land where the seeker could not find some small budding sign of pity for the slave. No place in all the land but one-- the pulpit. It yielded last; it always does. It fought a strong and stubborn fight, and then did what it always does, joined the procession-- at the tail end. Slavery fell. The slavery texts in the Bible remained; the practice changed; that was all."

Mark Twain

"The position I have always adopted is that much of animal nature is indeed altruistic, cooperative and even attended by benevolent subjective emotions, but that this follows from, rather than contradicts, selfishness at the genetic level."

Richard Dawkins

"Certainly I see the scientific view of the world as incompatible with religion, but that is not what is interesting about it. It is also incompatible with magic, but that also is not worth stressing. What is interesting about the scientific world view is that it is true, inspiring, remarkable and that it unites a whole lot of phenomena under a single heading."

Richard Dawkins
