It seems unlikely that Dawkins would claim that not-living things can evolve in the same way as living ones, since the mechanism of "inheritance" for...
Obviously not, since Wall Street is not a living thing. Are you sure you're a scientist?
Well, that's a relief! Now all of our beliefs can become convention! It'll be like a big... thing... where people get together. Uh, convention. I...
It is almost a comfort to me that I've never read Ayn Rand. It's kind of like not reading/seeing the English Patient. I mean, in an age where most...
