Very amusing description of PZ Myers being ejected from the preview of ‘Excluded’ - the new film on Intelligent Design. But that is not what interested me.
In the 11th paragraph Dawkins repeats his view from ‘The Selfish Gene’ that our origins in Darwinian evolution do not mean that we should structure our society in the same way. He argues that we should use our brains to combat the selfish gene and build societies that rise above pure selfishness.
I believe that this statement encapsulates probably the most important idea of his career - that Darwinism does not doom us to a dog-eat-dog society.
