    Two Logical Fallacies David Deutsch’s reasoning commits in this clip are Genetic Fallacy and Compositional Fallacy.

    Questions?
    Which ancestors? Which Myths? And were those myths accepted by all XXX-ancestors?
    Has not science being from tens of thousands? Are some things myths hiding in Science Umbrella : e.g. Macro-Evolution the Darwinian Myth?

    What is his definition of Myth? And what is his definition of Science? All this left me wondering?
