1. what is up with the audience!?!?

2. I didn't realise Darwin was still alive

3. Interesting stuff, as always, from Dennett.

   And yet, like all philosophy from armchairs, it moves us not a single attometre forward in our scientific understanding of anything.

4. Ah ye olde Cambrian Age! 26,500,000 generations ago. But methinks a generation to a bacteria is more like 20 days and not years… (Me thought methinks would be spell checked and marked misspelled but me thought wrong methinks) … in closing, that would be 9.6725 billion single cell generations, a number sufficient for our Evolutionary chance to rival the Power Ball and get a Eukaryptic-grip on Reality, only to have Dan Dennett come along and philosophically beat-down everything to 'just dust sticking together in a whirl-wind of chance'. My quotes. My saying. Half-way through…

5. This guy is emphatically ignorant if anything. When it comes to scientific conclusions, I go for scientists, not philosophers.
