Maybe this is what people were trying to get at in the other thread idk.

I believe that we can selectively breed human beings such that, within a generation or two, we all look like Mr. Peanut. And yes, the monocle and top hat will be part of the genetic package.

"Eugenics: it works, bitches" - Richard Dawkins

jmm, Tuesday, 18 February 2020 19:49 (four years ago) link

He probably means ‘works’ in terms of population growth? I’m guessing there’s more cats & dogs than there used to be.

He expanded that what he meant was that just as we can breed cows to produce more milk, we could breed humans to run faster - but of course, he deplores the idea of eugenics; he's just stating the facts.

i really don't think we need to give him the benefit of having a clue what he's saying

Richard Dawkins is just a racist guy online, the things he says don’t have to mean anything

ten months pass...

this fuckin dummy

Dawkins has spent much of his career calling anyone who believes in God or who studies religion a huge dumbass, so pivoting to being an anti-“war on Christmas” guy is.... something. pic.twitter.com/pBcEZH3taQ

His performative atheism has taken second place to his actual racism for years

Great Thinker.

Fizzles, Thursday, 24 December 2020 08:59 (three years ago) link

believes in the very real objective science of calipers and bell curves

for dawk so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son (the word "meme")

mark s, Thursday, 24 December 2020 09:45 (three years ago) link

I would like to approach Richard with the idea of a "Dawkins Reacts" youtube channel, reckon there's a decent amount of grift out there currently up for grabs.

I guess it's irrational anger about something innocuous and I would never write an asinine tweet about it... but i loathe "happy holidays".

ledge, Thursday, 24 December 2020 10:16 (three years ago) link

it comes from a place of acknowledging that significant numbers of your population have a non-Christian faith tho

happy holidays ledge

dick dork has always been a white supremacist first

Left, Thursday, 24 December 2020 10:51 (three years ago) link

yeah i sometimes feel inappropriate saying happy xmas but I can't bear the americanism, sorry to be racist against americans.

ledge, Thursday, 24 December 2020 11:04 (three years ago) link

it doesn't work in a UK context because "holidays" means something different here.

٩(͡๏̯͡๏)۶ (Camaraderie at Arms Length), Thursday, 24 December 2020 12:31 (three years ago) link

don't know if Dawkins has taken any time to consider this, probably not but who knows what's going on in there

٩(͡๏̯͡๏)۶ (Camaraderie at Arms Length), Thursday, 24 December 2020 12:32 (three years ago) link

i agree it sounds awkward in uk usage sometimes but nobody most people sorry ledge lol complaining about it in public aren't complaining about the sounding awkward bit

Uptown Top Scamping (Noodle Vague), Thursday, 24 December 2020 12:36 (three years ago) link

happy holidays as praxis against anti-PC sentiment and anti-"americanism" language policing

Left, Thursday, 24 December 2020 12:38 (three years ago) link

I cannot think of any issue that matters less, especially this year, so bringing it up is obviously tied to an agenda

٩(͡๏̯͡๏)۶ (Camaraderie at Arms Length), Thursday, 24 December 2020 12:43 (three years ago) link

tbh i’m not sure dawkins has much of an agenda any more i think he’s just an old bellend.

Fizzles, Thursday, 24 December 2020 12:54 (three years ago) link

What's this clown said now?

To be fair, they only get like two days off a year over there.

Eggbreak Hotel (Tom D.), Thursday, 24 December 2020 12:56 (three years ago) link

dawkins has always had a racist eugenicist agenda, he just doesn't bother to temper it with liberal progressive pandering as much as he did for a while since everyone knows what he's about now

three months pass...
two years pass...

can't believe his atheism is just coded white supremacy
