Oldskool, I think you give Owen Jones too much credit. Uses a so called socialist point of view to excrete venom and misrepresent truth, he could be any shade of politics, he would be vile.
Dawkins however, I saw a couple of times at the RI, once in 2014 when he was talking on content of the Selfish Gene with interview and discussion. Absolutely interesting guy, I agree with lots. The thing was about genes surviving through generations, so imo working collectively being a good survival thing is in keeping with that view. Taking my theory further, there are those that prey on that part of human nature built in genetically to form political aims to further their own psychological needs i.e they are not really interested in helping others, but creating argument gets there rocks off. Not to say that there are the really genuine, doctors I have known personally have been some of the finest human beings I have met as one example.
