Richard Dawkins is a intelligent and wise man. No matter how wise or intelligent a conscious being is when knowledge is either lacking or incorrect the wrong conclusions can be believed as true. Superimmortality is not a pseudoscience. Why superimmortality is not a pseudoscience
At minute 1:28 X is comforting does not mean that x is true. Superimmortality can be very comforting but this does not mean it is false just because it can be comforting.
2:39 "If you are afraid of death, for example, you might superficially think that a priest who tells you you're not really going to die would be more comforting than a scientist would tell you it is highly implausible that our individuality could survives the decay of our brains."
Superimmortality does not say that your individuality survives your death. Your individuality is produced by the structure and functioning of matter that your body is made of, not by the specific matter that your body is made of. The structure and functioning of matter that produced your individuality over time is reproducible any time before or after death.
