Hmmm, makes you wonder, yes?

The scientist Richard Dawkins says we must "shake off the anesthetic of familiarity." What on earth could that mean?

    I think it means to think outside of our everyday box that we are stuck in. Reach out and do something that isn't "comfortable" to you.

    What i think it means is that peoople need to start living life differently doing things that we dont normally do in regular life.

    I think "shake off the anesthetic of familiarity" means to not make familiarity numb, dull, & boring! We should all reach out & strive for something that we aren't use to already. That's how i understood it.

    I think it means that we all need to stop our daily routines, which are boring and dull. We all need to do new things in life.

    I can answer this question with another quote.."If you do not change, you can become extinct." I believe that this means we have to accept change and be willing to change. We should not be stuck in the same place. We should expand our horizons and take risks in life. Life is a risk...so take it!!!

    It probably means that we shouldn't get used to being comfortable, that instead we should do things we aren't used to. It's like, stepping out of our confort zone or stepping out of the box which mean the same thing. Change happens most of the time, which should be welcomed instead of being feared.

    This can probably means to get out of our regular routine and to live life as if it was our last.
