Blackfish documentary on CNN - anyone else watch it?

Try reading the article he linked to.

I did. At no point was there anything involving "sensationalism," or any concept that human beings are "robots" who cannot exhibit "intellect and free will beyond that of simple social insects." The only reference to Dawkins in the article was as an advocate for kin selection theories of altruism.

I may be putting words into Kathrande's mouth here, but I believe he was referring ti the fact that Dawkins is himself a sensationalist. When mot scientists make a discovery, they publish an article in a journal. Dawkins throws a press conference and writes a book.

The concept of being programmable machines is implied if you believe in the idea of a "selfish gene."
