There are no perfect people. Wisdom should still be gleaned from wherever it shows itself. The desire people have to place other people on pedestals has never made a bit of sense to me.
Imagine a world with perfect people, for instance, “Oh Dawkins? He’s perfect! A man of no faults I say! I mean, yes this is all we ever can say about him, but hey, it’s perfection we are talking about! He’s on the top 1000 perfect people list, and really doesn’t stand out a bit! What a dream!”
The atheism thing was always a veneer for racism, tbh. The whole New Atheism movement was a way to sell The War on Terror to progressive liberals. Instead of talking about Gog and Magog or whatever, it was about how “Islam is the Mother-Load of bad ideas”, and how the backward orientals need to be taught western values.
Dawkins expressed the same sentiment as: we are all basically atheists, some just go one god further.
Man, too bad Dawkins and a lot of his ilk turned out to be kinda shitty

Until human-category-sentience, evolution only expresses generation-to-generation.
However, IN human-category-sentience, evolution can be made to happen within an individual life.
IF evolution, THEN perfection is fundamentally-more-possible than people are understanding.
That is what “yoga”, meaning “to harness” is all about.

What in the fucking slop ass nonsense are you going on about? You’re stretching the limits of stupid and breathing a lot of hot air.
WTF are you even saying. There is no perfect person as we are not robots.
I had to stop listening to Dawkins, he is antitrans and anti Muslim now, and was praising Christianity if we had to choose a religion
So, like most people, he just has a soft spot for the religion he was exposed to most in childhood.
I stopped listening to him because he was super arrogant and condescending and self important, didn’t know about the other stuff
Not denying Dawkins is plenty smart about some things but man, I miss Carl Sagan
But enough about Sam Harris
