We haven’t seen or heard too much from Richard Dawkins (outside of an occasional essay or video) since his minor stroke back in February.
The 75-year-old author postponed his speaking tour in New Zealand and Australia at the time. He also stopped posting on Twitter to avoid “getting involved in controversy” — and, I would think, to keep his stress levels low.
The good news is that his recovery is going well enough that he just announced a speaking tour in the United States this November during which he’ll speak about “science, reason, freedom of inquiry, and humanist values.”
And Donald Trump, I would think, seeing as how this tour happens right before and after the election. Or maybe not, since he still needs to keep his stress levels down.
Nov. 1: Los Angeles, CA (with Sam Harris)
Nov. 7: Grand Rapids, MI
Nov. 9: Indianapolis, IN
Nov. 10: Philadelphia, PA
Tickets are available now. Glad to see him back in action.
