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.
― badg, Tuesday, 18 February 2020 19:50 (four years ago) link
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
― Swilling Ambergris, Esq. (silby), Tuesday, 18 February 2020 20:05 (four years ago) link
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— hannah gais (@hannahgais) December 24, 2020

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".

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

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.

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

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

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.

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
