Moral lesson of IWTV:

Abuse is facilitated and exacerbated by the material and social conditions surrounding it and breaking out of the cycle of abuse requires a conscious effort to acknowledge the conditions leading to it and a willingness to reconcile with who you are before and after it: FALSE ❌

ok let's get this straight.

Richard Dawkins is not a scientist whose contribution to science is the "selfish gene" theory. Dawkins is a popularizer that we can credit for the "selfish gene" as a sort of poetic conceit that he uses to explain the essentially mathematical ideas of neodarwinism, in particular Hamilton and Trivers's work explaining animal altruism.

Stephen Hawking was a scientist whose contributions were the Hawking-Penrose singularity theorems and Hawking radiation. He'd be a key part of the history of the study of black holes if he never wrote any books for the public.

Douglas Hofstadter, as far as I can tell, is a literary figure. This may just be my bias that I don't think cute LISP programs from the '80s are real science, even if they're from a "cognitive science" department, but in any case I think it was his PhD students doing that. Hofstadter's work is books and magazine articles. Some of it is science popularization but he's not a straight popularizer like Dawkins, or like Hawking writing for the public. He's... I don't know... literary nonfiction?
