Dawkins is actually a much better scientist than he is philosopher. The God Delusion is more philosophically underdeveloped than most eighth graders, which is why he primarily debates low-IQ fundamentalists. His whole atheism shtick is just plain embarrassing to anyone with (at the very least) high school-level critical thinking skills.

This
Dawkins painfully shows just how far you (can't) take scientific inquiry without philosophy. It shows through his gene's-eye-view especially when he blunders about extended phenotypes. He's good with base facts but shows no capacity for creative understanding.

But he doesn't produce science and hasn't for a long time. In fact most scientists think he's a charlatan.

>Hopefully, he rots in Hell soon.
Rent free. But yea Dawkins is a major cunt in public and has really poisoned the well. With the rest of the squad Dawkins do as much damage to the public image of science as tards like Ken Ham do to the religious one, both teams have the same infantile understanding. Dawkins is more cringe and poisonous than most, he practically terrorizes the simplist religious people, poor things. Dawkins is a bully and his words replicate-bullies. A very hateful man.
>Have you read The Selfish Gene?
Oh no, I've seen it get come up in the literature I browse alot. My understanding of evolutionary philosophy rejects his take wholesale. Dawkins does not accommodate the casual efficiency of living objects organismal or "extended", reduces life to a codified ontology and thus living to mere computation. The selfish gene doctrine theorizes evolution as replicative 'strategizing' I take evolution to be semiosmic and autopoetic, and recognize other evolutionary processes as in the extended synthesis. Dawkins is an old meme that hasn't aged well, I count myself lucky that I don't really need to read him.

>> No.14154296

>>14154273
Yeah, I don't read non-fiction generally (aside from philosophy and history), so I thought I'd ask. He does seem like a bully though. It's really sad to see a simple religious old-lady be the main target of his zeal. Ironically, he as a person would greatly benefit from religion, same with most of these vindictive 'rational' atheists.

His recent appearances on Joe Rogan have confirmed what I suspected for a long time, which is that he's a charlatan. He has been addressed and corrected many times over the years but he's still making the same philosophical mistakes. I know he's not a stupid man and I know he has heard his critics but he hasn't changed or updated his beliefs and arguments. This makes me believe that he's pandering to a very specific and stupid audience.

The problem I have with Richard Dawkins is that he seems to be using an appeal to authority to support a very narrow interpretation of what he is actually saying, and this is not how a scientific argument is supposed to work. Instead, we should ask, how do these observations fit with the rest of the evidence? Dawkins does not make his case against religious beliefs, or the supernatural, well or logically. The only way to do that is to address the evidence. He does this in a very flawed way and without any attempt at understanding what is going on in the religious, the supernatural, and science.

If you are interested in reading the actual text of the book, you can purchase it through Amazon.
