        @sapinker "evolution is guided by awareness, by consciousness" for maximum diversity. Does Deepak even believe himself? #randomBuzzWords

        @sapinker - I think D Chopra did succeed in rattling R Dawkins's cage. Not seen anyone else do this so far. Enjoyed watching it!

        @sapinker This is quite a fascinating video, though I'm not clear what the five minutes of circus at the start has to do with it!
