The World's Most Famous Atheist… Can't Stop Crying at Poetry

Famous biologist and atheist Richard Dawkins built his reputation on cold, hard logic. 

He's also the author of bestsellers The Selfish Gene and The God Delusion, destroys creationists on Twitter, and thinks prayer is a waste of time. 

But here's the twist: the high priest of reason is actually a passionate, emotional paradox who weeps at poetry, dreams about his dead father, and muses about going "temporarily insane" every night.

In this episode, we dive into an interview that journalist Malte Herwig conducted with Dawkins. Join Malte and his two AI co-hosts as they reflect on and debate Dawkins’s unshakable faith in reason, his surprising vulnerabilities, and his offbeat insights on reality, atheism, and even odd socks. Featuring plenty of original Dawkins audio, this episode blends a classic conversation with fresh AI-powered analysis. 

From his bizarre sock-matching optimization hack (yes, really) to why pain has to be *so* painful, Dawkins reveals what happens when pure logic confronts the messy, irrational reality of being human. Spoiler: his final answer to "What's the meaning of life?" isn't a formula—it's a hug.
