If you care to engage your mind intensely for three quarters of an hour, listen to this interview, where Berlinski pokes Darwinism and the academic intelligentsia (and their useful idiots) in the eye. Profound, especially at the last when he considers twentieth century history in the light of the intellectual worlds delusion that the world is somehow progressing morally. Can we learn from the past? Not with muddled thinking that views the evil of wars, genocides, etc., as random anomalies. David Berlinski, a mathematician, philosopher, and biologist, discusses the current state of the scientific community, the theories of Darwinism, and the science behind global warming on Uncommon Knowledge. Peter Robinson gets a sneak peek at his new book, The Best of Times, on the history and perplexities of the twentieth century. Berlinski is also author of The Devil’s Delusion, The Deniable Darwin, and The King of Infinite Space: Euclid and His Elements.
