That's, like, WOAH, man. Blew my mind to back of the room. TWICE.
By the way, TV can be entertaining AND informative. Much of my youth was spent engulfed in the edutainment of PBS: Arthur, The Magic School Bus, Bill Nye the Science Guy, Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego?, and the like.
It can be, mostly for kids. I watched TV a lot as a kid. I got over it.
And, at least, I don't imply that anybody else should dislike TV for the same reasons I do, though it would be kind of nice.
Also, Richard Dawkins is an asshole in a nice old man costume. His method of changing a person's mind is by making them feel stupid for involving themselves in religion. That much is obvious just by reading some of his book titles, but he has that same shit-eating, condescending attitude in some videos he's made.
