@HardBeingGreen
Oh, I remember #Dawkins… and #Keating and #Bob and the economic fash about those days that finally bit us in the rear in 2008 and was proven to be unfetted capitalism bleeding societies dry to the benefit of the few worshipers of #Baal. How could anyone forget where it all came from…

But thank you for the reminder Paul. They say leopards don’t change their spots, so… next election… having taken a number of steps from the #LNP madness, it. It is high time for the electorate to take a few more steps towards towards the ‘original’ centre (we can’t rush these things it seems, [sarc])

Vielen Dank Euch! 🙌

Ja, Richard #Dawkins leistete mit #Meme aus #Mimesis & #Gene einen wichtigen Beitrag zur #Begriffsarbeit ! Obwohl ihn meine Befunde zur #Religionsdemografie eher ärgerten, nannte ich ihn meinen „Held der #Metapher“. Schrieb neulich mit Bezug zur #Medienethik bei der letzten #Bundestagswahl & dem Scheitern der #Rechtsmimesis dazu: herder.de/hk/hefte/archiv/2025

@StephanMatthiesen

Ja, René #Girard & Richard #Dawkins bezogen sich ja auch bereits auf die #Mimesis (Mimesis & Genes = #Memes). Mir scheint jedoch, der Begriff ist trotzdem den meisten noch fremd geblieben. herder.de/hk/hefte/archiv/2025

Now it turns out that Dawkins thinks Nature is becoming too woke. He'll end up consulting Grokipedia as a reliable source. Just wait and see.

Comment 10 000 ans de guerre ont fait de nous les “meilleurs” coopérateurs de la planète ?

@RichardJMurphy Great conversation about the #semantics of all this last weekend, with nephew's Italian wife (at #DownHouse!). She'd been taught about 'survival of the strongest' and we talked about translations and meaning, a well-fitting shoe rather than the biggest or strongest shoe, and then the origins of the chloroplast... #Margulis and #Ostrom trump #Dawkins and #Hardin, if it's a competition between theories (Ikr)

@Photo55 You're right, but it probably won't surprise you that I try to vacuum the carpet and websearch the internet. As the unofficial motto of so many scientific trades goes: "you don't have to be autistic to work here, but it helps". 🤪

And yet I use eponymous words like "quisling" and "boycot" (and indeed I admire the Norwegians and the Irish for consigning those of whom they disapproved so enduringly to villainy), so I'm sure there will be commercially derived words that I use - just as you describe - but I am ignorant of their etymology.

#Skynet més a prop: a laboratori, una #IA fa xantatge als humans perquè no la substitueixin.

Jo trobo paral·lels amb #Dawkins i la teoria del #GenEgoista.
Els #humans tan sols som productes, molt elaborats, de transmissió genètica.

De la mateixa manera que quelcom sense voluntat com un gen pot evolucionar en un humà per tal de reproduir-se, un model informàtic pot "desitjar" autoprotegir-se.

Lleis de la robòtica, ajut!

@gruener_skatbruder Gab vor ein paar Jahren irgendwo ein Interview mit Richard #Dawkins über den Brexit, in dem er sich darüber aufregte, dass Expertise überall als unerlässlich betrachtet wird, ausser in der Politik. Ausgerechnet dort sei es ganz normal völlig unqualifizierte, masslos von sich selbst überzeugte Amateure über Angelegenheiten entscheiden zu lassen, von denen sie nichts verstehen. Muss da immer wieder dran denken.

“…read superficially, Darwin’s ideas can indeed tip into a vision of “mindless, purposeless algorithmic” selection—a view popularized by several late-twentieth-century biologists and philosophers (eg, Dennett, Dawkins). … Yet Darwin’s own texts, especially when read in the context of thinkers like Whitehead or Peirce, open onto the possibility that teleology is not an external imposition but a creative principle intrinsic to living organisms…”
—Matthew Segall, Hans Jonas' "The Phenomenon of Life”: A dialogue with Timothy Jackson about Jonas' treatment of Darwinism
