YouTube Description
as posted by the channelStephen Woodford has a popular YouTube channel called Rationality Rules, advertised as a place to “debunk and refute predominately religious and supernatural arguments.” In August, Woodford invited science teacher Forrest Valkai to his channel to critique Richard Dawkins’ comments regarding gender ideology. One of the critiques came from a conversation I had with Richard. As soon as I heard this, I immediately invited Woodford to have a discussion about the topic.
In September, I interviewed evolutionary biologist Colin Wright and we directly addressed Woodford and Valkai’s analysis of Dawkins’ comments. In October, Woodford created two videos responding to our analysis. He invited Colin and me to join him for a conversation.
I have reached out multiple times to Woodford to schedule a discussion. In fact, someone from my team invited him to a conversation as far back as May. Woodford responded to one message in October, but we haven’t heard from him since.
While there is clearly an interest to see a direct conversation between Wright and Woodford, I am puzzled as to why Woodford would ask for a conversation and then ignore us after repeated attempts to contact him across multiple platforms. Consequently, here is, yet again, another invitation.
Stephen Woodford & Forrest Valkai critique Dawkins“The Science of Sex & Gender”
Peter Boghossian & Richard Dawkins“The Poetry of Reality”
Peter Boghossian & Colin Wright“The Science (and Pseudoscience) of Gender”
Woodford’s October responses and invitations:
“A biologist & philosopher debunk my ‘GENDER IDEOLOGY’”
“Was I wrong to call Richard Dawkins out?”
