Wait, we don’t like The Selfish Gene? Seems to be a good idea, at least from the evolutionary perspective if not the sociological one.

Scientifically, no. The selfish gene he posits is on the level of saying you only use 10% of your brain.

I don’t mind The Selfish Gene so much as I hate Richard Dawkins for being a misogynistic transphobe who hung out with Epstein after his first conviction. For an enlightened rational athiest, he is quite narrow minded about science that doesn’t agree with his reactionary worldview.
