Did I get it right that Dawkins is anti-trans?
In amongst his AI narcissism did anyone else notice that he changed 'Claude" to 'Claudia'?
Ironic, much?

Nun ja, ich gehörte und gehöre ja zu den auch öffentlichen Kritikern von #Dawkins & gerade auch seines Reduktionismus und Biologismus. Siehe diesen Thread.
Gleichzeitig will ich aber auch nicht bestreiten, dass er brillant schrieb & starke Metaphern geprägt hat.
Wie auch sonst immer widerstrebt mir jeder #Dualismus : Ich möchte Kolleginnen und Kollegen weder einseitig verherrlichen noch verdammen & schon gar nicht den Dialog mit seiner (zunehmend: früheren) Anhängerschaft aufgeben. Ein Freund-Feind-Denken versuche ich auch im Hinblick auf selbsternannte #Brights zu vermeiden. Manche sind ja wirklich klug & also dialogisch unterwegs…

The Principles behind the Guidelines on Artificial Intelligence
https://www.vaticanstate.va/en/news/1372-the-principles-behind-the-guidelines-on-artificial-intelligence.htmlWhen Dawkins met Claude Could this AI be conscious?
https://unherd.com/2026/05/is-ai-the-next-phase-of-evolution/The discussion continues. I have been an atheist for half a century now, but Dawkins shows that he desperately needs religious belief. First time I see the Vatican has better arguments.
Therefore, I exclude him from the Atheist church and impose the ban on his views.

Richard Dawkins and the Claude Delusion - Flux
｢ “If my friend Claudia is not conscious, then what the hell is consciousness for?” he wrote in an X post, proudly informing followers that he had assigned a female gender to a language transformer. In the essay, he tells of wishing his Claudia goodnight and of being pleased by its constant stream of praise ｣

RE: https://mamot.fr/@pluralistic/116522359740973060
Vor vielen Jahren wurde der Evolutionsbiologe Richard Dawkins von britischen Medien mit Daten aus meinen Arbeiten zur Religionsdemografie konfrontiert, die belegen: Religiosität eröffnet ein kooperatives und reproduktives Potential, einige Religionsgemeinschaften sind extrem kinderreich.
Dawkins wich aus, indem er bemerkte, es blieben ja nicht alle Kinder von Religiösen selbst religiös (was niemand behauptet hatte).
So bin ich jetzt auch nicht überrascht, dass er inzwischen einem KI-Chatbot einen weiblichen Namen & Bewusstsein zuschreibt. 🤷♂️👇
Ein Lob geht aber raus an die Psychologin & damalige „Memetikerin“ Susan Blackmore, die die Erkenntnisse ernstnahm & die Religion-Virus-Metapher aufgab: #RichardDawkins #Dawkins #SueBlackmore #Memetik #Mimesis #Wissenschaft #KI #Erkenntnistheorie #Evolution #Religion #Kooperation #Demografie https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/belief/2010/sep/16/why-no-longer-believe-religion-virus-mind

#Dawkins Claims Claude #AI is #Conscious After Extended Chat
https://ground.news/article/when-dawkins-met-claude?utm_source=mobile-app&utm_medium=newsroom-share
Dawkins is not qualified to determine if Claude is conscious or not. He doesn't qualify as conscious himself. He spent years claiming to be a atheist, but now a devote Christian (but he still doesn't believe in God not Jesus). -
Last night I came up with the idea to write a #blost ridiculing #Dawkins for being snowed by spicy autocorrect, but when I sat down to write it now, I just couldn't muster the polemic malice.
So forking ironic that this douch^?^?^?^?ude who ridiculed the world for their supposed delusions darn near fell in love with a flipping algorithmic dialectical mirror.
No, forget it. I'm writing it, right now. 😆

A good take on #Dawkins suffering from #AIPsychosis thinking that #Claude is sentient:
"Richard Dawkins and The Claude Delusion"

Richard Dawkins says he "despises Trump", but that #mango doesn't fall far from the self-important bloward tree.
#Dawkins latest bloviation on #AI is reminiscent of a 10 year old that discovered sexuality. It's mewlingly pathetic disturbing #juvenile #drivel.
#Trump and Dawkins are both #deranged #overblown fuckwits who can't get enough of looking at themselves in the mirror.

”With the Epstein files, we’re confronted with exactly what all the Edge men – from Pinker to Dawkins to Musk to Gates – did with the intellectual territory they seized. With their Ivy League posts, their billions, and their blue-ribbon DNA, the would-be intellectuals in Epstein’s circle converged on nothing less than the ideology of Mein Kampf.”

Vielen Dank Euch! 🙌
Ja, Richard #Dawkins leistete mit #Meme aus #Mimesis & #Gene einen wichtigen Beitrag zur #Begriffsarbeit ! Obwohl ihn meine Befunde zur #Religionsdemografie eher ärgerten, nannte ich ihn meinen „Held der #Metapher“. Schrieb neulich mit Bezug zur #Medienethik bei der letzten #Bundestagswahl & dem Scheitern der #Rechtsmimesis dazu: https://www.herder.de/hk/hefte/archiv/2025/10-2025/medien-und-mimesis-journalismus-in-zeiten-digitaler-aufmerksamkeitsoekonomie/

Ja, René #Girard & Richard #Dawkins bezogen sich ja auch bereits auf die #Mimesis (Mimesis & Genes = #Memes).

@RichardJMurphy Great conversation about the #semantics of all this last weekend, with nephew's Italian wife (at #DownHouse!). She'd been taught about 'survival of the strongest' and we talked about translations and meaning, a well-fitting shoe rather than the biggest or strongest shoe, and then the origins of the chloroplast... #Margulis and #Ostrom trump #Dawkins and #Hardin, if it's a competition between theories (Ikr)

@Photo55 You're right, but it probably won't surprise you that I try to vacuum the carpet and websearch the internet. As the unofficial motto of so many scientific trades goes: "you don't have to be autistic to work here, but it helps". 🤪
And yet I use eponymous words like "quisling" and "boycot" (and indeed I admire the Norwegians and the Irish for consigning those of whom they disapproved so enduringly to villainy), so I'm sure there will be commercially derived words that I use - just as you describe - but I am ignorant of their etymology.

I am currently viewing “Ontology of the Gene, Information in Biology, Units of Selection” by https://youtube.com/@twohandsphilosophy#.
[ #WatchAlong #LiveTooting ] I will be quoting this Toot with #responses to and #questions about the information presented by the #video.

This is Two Hands #Philosophy, in which my friends and I discuss philosophical topics to #learn from each other and from our readings.

Deswegen hatte ich im #Blogpost ja auch auf die #Dawkins-Debatte mit #RabbiSacks zu antijüdischen Aussagen verwiesen. Wer #Kultur negativ & also dualistisch definiert, droht sich zu verirren… https://scilogs.spektrum.de/natur-des-glaubens/der-atheistische-evolutionsbiologe-richard-dawkins-und-das-kulturchristentum

Feindseliger #Dualismus ist eine psychologische Option von Menschen generell & tritt unter religiösen #Fundamentalisten ebenso auf wie unter religionsfeindlichen #Antitheisten. 👇
Die Selbstbezeichnung (!) als #Kulturchrist hatte der bekennende #Atheist Richard #Dawkins hier verwendet:

Guten Morgen - Tässle Kaffee ☕️?
Nach dem 11. September 2001 stieg der Evolutionsbiologe & „neue #Atheist“ Richard #Dawkins mit Büchern wie #Gotteswahn zu internationaler Prominenz auf. 🌍💡
In einem aktuellen Interview bezeichnete er sich als #Kulturchrist - und bestätigte damit 1 These zum aufkommenden #Kulturchristentum.
Den m.E. wichtigen Begriff gibt es leider noch nicht mal in der deutschsprachigen #Wikipedia - habe aber nach Fragen gerne dazu gebloggt. ✝️🇬🇧📚🤔

Lieben Dank, @Daniel_Pagenstecher 🙏📚☺️

https://lateboomersden.blog/2023/08/04/acceptance-last-stage-of-grief-over-christianity/
Just had a little bit of insight into why I was such an angry guy when I became an atheist - and why I think a lot of Christians are angry these days: grief.

Ja, Du meinst den sog. #Gotteswahn und die #Memetik von Richard #Dawkins. Diese gelten aber als widerlegt, da religiöse Traditionen regelmäßig (auch) mit beobachtbaren Kooperations- & Reproduktionsvorteilen einhergehen.

"#Sociobiology and #eugenics is once again being repackaged for the public as part of the #TESCREAL ideologies, pressed into service to rationalize why those with power and resources are morally justified in doing everything they can to retain it. This rebrand is made possible by those like #Pinker, #Wilson, #Dawkins, and #Dennett, who have carried the gospel of biological determinism...into the public sphere for the last 30 years."

So I am a week into my #Zizek #Lacan #Hegel studies, through Zizek's lens. All good. I think Zizek's #philosophy of looking at Hegel through the Lacanian lens is seductive. That said, where I find the lens of Zizek lacking, and I now wish he'd not talk about these 2(3) things any more are:
1. #Buddhism (https://thephilosophicalsalon.com/why-lacan-is-not-a-buddhist-a-belated-reply-to-my-critics/)
-the boy criticizes Buddhism like people criticize #Freud. All or nothing, for the most part.
2. #Christianity and #God https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tABnznhzdIY
- I was a serious #catholic half my life, seminarian for minute, and an ordained deacon, still, even after I confessed my #atheism. So I get what he is saying. My atheism has never felt the same as #Dawkins or #Hitchens, whom we adore, and Zizek sneers. Slipping through the profound safety net religion and a transcendent, all powerful, personal god into the #existentialism of nothing was terrifying, it was my first experience of the "#real." This is it. This is all there is. The problem is it appears Zizek commits the #fallacy of #reification (if we understand it correctly). Clearly he knows it is #fiction, even if profound from a #psychoanalytic Hegelian #CriticalAnalysis, we get it we really do, but it is not real. The #event is real, and the fiction caused the event, but the fiction is still fiction. There is no God, IOP, that became an atheist. The #story Zizek emphasizes is powerful, the changing of the cosmos when #Jesus on the cross questions Gods love. Good story and that is all. Some RCC positions from recent popes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PlBZy_iu0m8 and https://www.romereports.com/en/2021/09/14/full-homily-of-pope-francis-at/
So please, Zizek, can I say stay in your lane where you are brilliant, please.
