Why does nobody clock this fool as the philosophical zombie he is? He is the human equivalent of answering the teleporter dilemma by saying "the one who entered the teleporter first is the original". He has no actual arguments against religion beyond saying "yes but snakes don't talk". Why does anyone give him the time of day? Is it because he write a book that says patterns are things that are likely to repeat themselves? Riveting stuff.

He's just English, Englishmen are retarded

Literally GE Moore's proof of the external world's existence:
>Here is one hand,
>And here is another.
>There are at least two external objects in the world.
>Therefore, an external world exists.

They get off on this. You could give an Englishman unio mystica and introduce him to God himself and he would still say "oh ho ho perhaps it's matter"

I don't think anyone thinks about him much, really.

Pretty simple. His "The Selfish Gene" is still cited by biologists and psychologists to this day. He is using the support that that book garnered to indulge in his hobby (i.e. try and use science to disprove religion).
In a certain way, he reminds me of Peterson.
