The timing of this webinar is apt as the #SelfishGene is turning 50 this month. @arvidagren.bsky.social will be talking to us about what the gene’s-eye view still explains well, and how this perspective has been refined over the last half-century.

TL;DR: the very bonds and instincts that parents are genetically predisposed to build & strengthen are compromised to the point of their celebratory neglect by the systemic, persistent spread of hate, disinformation, #propaganda of our time. Have we broken the programming of our #selfishgene ?
The nature of a cult is that it will turn you against your own family. Your loved ones will cheer as you are led off to the camps because hurting even you is what is necessary to bring on the glorious nation. apnews.com/article/trum...
Thrust into unemployment, axed federal workers face relatives who celebrate their firing
Scrambling to replace their health insurance and to find new work, some fired federal workers are running into another unexpected unpleasantry: Relatives cheering their job loss.

Temetics explains why those who believe false memes cannot survive in a boolean logic environment. Their beliefs will always process to "false" in the boolean domain, negative, nihil, untrue and unprofitable. #selfishgene is a vector, pal.

An intriguing argument of the book, which naturally is gene centric, is the idea that the future is written in the past as in the genome i.e. determinism. Tomorrow Chapter 8, ‘the immortal gene’. Maybe the swan song of the #SelfishGene.

I read The Selfish Gene as a teen.
Some found it cold. Others, reductive.
I found it honest.
It hinted at what objective compassion must look like in a mechanistic world—cooperation from elements preserving their own identity. #SelfishGene #RichardDawkins
