Prof. Brian Keating(@Briankeating):Richard Dawkins (@RichardDawkins) at Carnegie Hall, and I get to sit across from him Genes and the Meaning of Life October 20 | 7:00 PM | Carnegie Hall Fifty years ago, a 35-year-old zoologist gave us the gene's eye view, the word "meme," and a book that rearranged how we think about life itself. Now Richard Dawkins takes the Carnegie Hall stage for the first time, and I'll be in the chair beside him. We'll go past the greatest hits: his new work on the "genetic book of the dead," the idea that every creature is a readable archive of the worlds its ancestors survived. And a question I keep turning over: could our own genes be a giant colony of cooperating viruses? Get your tickets here -
