Blackpill Why you should read Richard Dawkins' "The Selfish Gene"

Will read it, thanks. After Gnosis and Schopenhauer nothing can be that much suifuel.
 
He is a deluded cuck

"nice guys don't finish last, so work on your personality" :feelskek::feelskek::feelskek::feelskek::feelskek:
 
This book is hardly an empirical inquiry into evolutionary biology, instead it draws upon loose correlations between both genetics and the social-sciences too sell itself as being relevant. Beetlejuice IQ.
You obviously have read only the title and the critics
 
In this moment I am euphoric... Just kidding.

Jokes and memes aside, Dawkins is actually a heavyweight vulgarizer of Evolution. His biological books are very solid.

I consider "The Selfish Gene" to be the most important book written in the modern era. It is in fact far more important than Darwin's own works... Why?

Because Dawkins successfully demonstrated that the basic unit of Evolution is the gene, not the individual or the species. The implications of this are enormous. It completely demolishes any narrative of "the meaning of life is to have children", "it is rational and healthy to make children", "natural selection is good for the species", or "genetic superiority". Natural selection does not serve any purpose in particular, and reproduction is actually an absurd process determined by the obstination of each individual gene you possess (even the most shitty) to remain immortal. Dawkins himself admits in the prologue that his book can cause nervous breakdowns in people due to the horror it exposes. We are basically "survival machines" for genes. Just like the shell of a snail. Genes are master puppeteers. They don't give a flying fuck about us, and you shouldn't give a flying fuck about them. They will murder you if they think it's in their best interests.

The power of this book is that it goes a lot farther than mere opinion. Dawkins provides many vivid examples of his theory in action.

I suspect most of those who criticize Dawkins have only read the titles of his books. Their content is surprisingly solid and persuasive.
My genes already murdered me. What do you suggest, should I just stand in front of an open microwave or something to get back at them?
 
Black pilled book indeed

Because your mind substrate depends on the rest of your body for energy and physical protection, not really a good idea.

Ideal revenge would be mind upload. That's sci-fi for now, but that's when humanity will finally have beaten genes at their own game. When the host will rebel against the virus.

I like reading all kinds of literature written by all kinds of people. Broadens your mind. You don't have to agree with everything you read.

I'm actually thinking about reading some anarchist and marxist authors soon. I've also read Nazi lit.

Wouldn't reproduction be contra-productive to the survival of each individual gene because during reproduction genes get reshuffled during meiosis across the chromosomes in a process that is in no way under the control of any particular gene? So reproduction would require each gene to undergo a process that can potentially destroy it or make it less relevant in the next generation that is totally out of their control. Is that risk worth the chance of surviving to the next generation unchanged?
 
My whole career is based on that book.
 
One of the best blackpilled biology books out there, but I don’t think anything has ever topped Sperm Wars by Robin Baker. Pure suifuel/ERfuel
 
I will never read a single book written by a gaytheist. Mark my words

With that kind of attitude, you won't go far in life. The smartest men read everything, because even in the worst book there is usually a fact you didn't know. Both Hitler and Trotsky can teach you things.
 
A few molecules of DNA
 
OP, if you are interested in evolutionary biology, consider reading this article about religion's role in evolution:

http://www.mikraite.org/Human-Evolution-td17.html

Not written by a famous scientist like Dawkins, but it is a truly mind-blowing article written by a really intelligent author. It's one of the biggest blackpills I have ever read that's not frequently discussed on incel forums.

I wont go far in life because of my face. Gaytheism and some nerdy books wont change that
 
I have never read the Selfish Gene, even though I purchased a copy some years ago. I might read it and see how it has been tested since it's initial publication in 1976. I don't think it is very "blackpilling", though, since the implications of gene-level selection do not entail the derivation of any teleological conclusions.

Just googled it, which version do you recommend or are they all the same?
 
What career is that?
I am doing phd on a thing called evolutionary optimization/computation, we evolve computer programs that can solve really difficult engineering problems without any help from humans.

High IQ ngl ngl
 
I've read it years ago.
It really helps in disassociating people from their decisions from their brains.
That experiement that shows that peoples brains make decisions before they consciously choose them provided a lot more evidence for my philosophy.
In my opinion, peoples sense of self/consciousness/or whatever you want to call "you" is just a slave of the brain at best, and an illusory byproduct of the brain at worst. The illusion experiences illusion, so what it experiences is "real" from it's own perspective, so to speak.
 
Personally all the atheist neckbeards have made me refuse to ever read a Dawkins book.
 
Ths meaning of life is to live.

Having children is a byproduct.
 
Proof being all the people who live without wanting children.

Most people wanting children is a result of it being inherited.

Only minority of people dont inherit and/or develop the want for children.

Those people dont have children and dont pass on their DNA.

Therefore genepool is continually filtered and people not wanting children die out and stay minority.

Majority of people only want children because their genes spread easily.

I am one of those who hates kids. I love money, freedom, food and such. And theres actually a lot of people like me. But we wont pass these genes on.

I hate Dawkins' obnoxious fanbase more than the man himself.

Karl Marx has obnoxious people who follow him too, but he names the jew and does a good job of explaining stuff like labor theory of value.

I don't hate commies like your average Skinhead type does, there's been plenty of based ones in the past like Celine and Althusser. I despise Randian Libertarians more than Authoritarian Communists. even Egoists and Nihilists are better people, like Stirner, De Sade, etc.

what I don't like is radlib-infested commies. the ones who follow Trotsky and Kropotkin and then shit all over their ideas, then again the former isn't worth a dingleberry out of my ass. he got icepicked for a good reason. RIP KFC.
 
Personally all the atheist neckbeards have made me refuse to ever read a Dawkins book.

Do you know what? Almost all those atheist neckbeards on reddit never read this book, they just "heard" about it, but they pretend they read it (same goes with most libtard communists, they read shit in their life). That's their failure, I understand, but you should read this book tbh.
 
I'm going to start reading it today. Looks like a great book.

Dawkins himself writes in the prologue that most of those who talk about him have never actually bought or read the books

Oh wow, I never read prologue though, kek.

If you talk with any neckbeard on reddit, and if you press him a little bit you will see that he never read any book, they spend most of their times on movies and animes, JFL most of them don't have any university degree even, even if they had they did some major on some "human relations" and shit. They are nothing but fucking bunch of losers.
 
A book dealing with harsh realities of existence from a cold scientific perspective? It sounds like my kind of book. Thanks for the recommendation.
 
Read it a long time ago, honestly don't remember much of it.

The only thing is I remember about it is how it is essentially The Godfather of the Internet term "meme." The net and trolls highjacked it from this very book.

I do remember it being a decent book, but nothing we don't know about anymore. So reading it today may be a long, boring read
 
Sperm wars is another blackpilled book.

Sperm Wars is indeed good.

It's a more fun alternative, especially for those with shorter attention spans... mini stories of cuckoldry and cock carouselling accompany the book as examples to the scientific points made
 
I read The Selfish Gene around 15 years ago and no book has topped it since.
I just ordered a second hand copy of Sperm Wars for a few bucks. I hope it's good.

Typical normie reaction to the reality

From the wiki-https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sperm_Wars
Initially, she can simply watch him in competition with other males. ... But finally, the only real test a woman can set is whether a man can negotiate and overcome her own defences. To test this, she has to resist first verbally, then physically. The stronger and more realistic her resistance, the better the test.
In this context he makes comparison with the many examples of aggressively induced ovulation in mammals, including the extreme example of mink in which if the female does not experience physical trauma at the male's hands, she does not ovulate

Nature is evil. She's called Mother Nature for a reason.

Sperm Wars authour got blackpilled after experimenting with polyamy and realising he hated the idea of being cucked. He quit that nonsense. Good to see some self-respect, better late than never.
 
This would absolve foids as innocent angels manipulated by evil genes. FOIDS ARE THEIR GENES. The distinction is basically soul and body atheist version.
 
Destroying all life is justified then.

This sounds like what happened to my midwit sister. She began viewing her genome as a hostile other rather than part of herself. She was already an anti-natalist, and far past the wall so her position on having kids is quite irrelevant, but this very much accelerated her descent into lunacy.
