It's pretty frustrating to watch. Feels like an endless repetition of "well humans and dogs are conscious because that's self evident". There's no sufficient demarcation criterion other than "I know it when I see it" that he seems to apply. [I guess having a semantics is his criterion but he doesn't elaborate on a criterion for that]

The audience question about intelligent design summed up my frustration nicely (or rather the amoeba evolving part of it).
