@DamienMorris @CarlosEAlvare17 I think I read the first part of the trilogy a while back. I’m afraid I find the subject very confusing. I (as a layman) tried to clarify things with Grok—without much success. Maybe I should read the entire trilogy. Anyway, below is my discussion with Grok, if you’re interested.

@thinkingshivers Not sure why, but I like your version better.

[CdL @strm11]

@charlesmurray All written by AI (presumably with his careful and deliberate input). Question: does it matter that it was written by AI if the ideas are sound? A few say it doesn’t; most say it does. I’m beginning to move into the first camp.

@brivael Il me semble que les idées exprimées sont fondées.. Donc, à quel point est-il pertinent que tous ces essais aient été écrits — selon https://t.co/tiFkCzPZof, du moins — par l’IA ?

@Chicago_History To fully realize Burnham’s vision, Lake Shore Drive should be moved underground.

@pitiklinov La 2da respuesta representa la ruta por la que se encaminó la selección natural. Aun así, me parece que no se puede descartar la 3ra respuesta (probablemente tales zombies tendrían competencias algo diferentes, pero no necesariamente menos sofisticadas ni complejas).

[CdL @strm11]

@RichardDawkins The third option seems the most plausible to me: “There are two ways of being competent, the conscious way and the unconscious (or zombie) way.”

@PCurka @nattyover @ClareCraigPath Random mutations plus non-random selection.

@charlesmurray @lilmoemusic What about Mexico?

@IonaItalia @DavidDeutschOxf @sapinker @RichardDawkins @DerrenBrown @EstherPerel I’ve added The Beginning of Infinity to my reading list.
Also off the top of my head:
- The Selfish Gene
- The Bell Curve
- The Blank Slate
- Making Up the Mind (by Chris Frith)
- What Intelligence Tests Miss (by Keith Stanovich)

@JFBoilley Et cela ne suffirait toujours pas pour maîtriser le français. 🙂

@charlesmurray R. Dawkins disagrees. And I agree with him—at least as far as Anna Karenina is concerned. I far prefer Dostoyevsky. Some of his short novels are extraordinary (some of Tolstoy's too!). https://t.co/iWa9AQzmbr

[Richard Dawkins @RichardDawkins]

Finally struggled to end of Anna Karenina. Freed to move on to a genuinely great book, The Escape Artist, brilliantly written & narrated by Jonathan @Freedland. Can’t numb the horror of Auschwitz. Can’t exaggerate the heroism of Walter Rosenberg who escaped to tell the world.

@nicolekargin @heynavtoor Not a good-enough strategy, unfortunately: https://t.co/OWCPYxKzVp

@SteveStuWill And the one about describing God as some vague abstraction is so on point, too. Typical of “sophisticated theologians”, who will often, nonetheless, end up admitting that they believe in the literal resurrection of Jesus, the Immaculate Conception, and the like.

[CdL @strm11]

@SteveStuWill The germ-plasm quote is amazing. Even more vivid in its imagery than Dawkins’s famous metaphors (“survival machines”, etc.).

@Noahpinion "The root causes of crime are either longer-term economic factors, or deeper sociological factors." What about natural predispositions?

[CdL @strm11]

@AdamSinger Thanks. I'll check them out.
