Richard Dawkins To Speak...Or Will He?
March 11, 2013 at 2:17 pm
Premise: Penn students fundamentally desire knowledge.
Premise: Richard Dawkins can provide knowledge.
Conclusion: Going to hear a speech tomorrow by Richard Dawkins would be pretty sweet!
If you had trouble understanding that aka for those of you not majoring in Philosophy (PPE doesn't count), the bottom line is this: A super-smart former Oxford professor will speak tomorrow on "Proof, Science, and Skepticism" in Irvine at 6:30PM. Tix are sold out, but enter the VIP lottery here by 5pm today.
Dawkins, an English ethologist (we had to Wikipedia that one), evolutionary biologist, and author, will receive an award for Distinguished Achievement in Biological Anthropology by the Philomatheon Society tomorrow. Still skeptical? Then we urge you to go.
