One of the world’s leading scientists is Richard Dawkins. He is an award-winning evolutionary biologist and zoologist who has taught at esteemed institutions such as Oxford and the University of California, Berkeley.
He is perhaps best known for his book, The Selfish Gene, which popularized the gene-centred view of evolution that ultimately led to the term becoming a thing.
You would think that Dawkins would be a darling of progressives, as he is well known for his criticism of creationism and intelligent design and is a vocal atheist.
However, Dawkins apparently verbalized a heresy so awful that Facebook immediately deleted his Facebook account.
While I can’t find a personal Facebook account for Dawkins, I did located one for the Richard Dawkins Foundation for Reason and Science, which still seems intact.
I can attest to the heavy-hand of Facebook when it comes to the subject of transsexuals. I have a good friend, who I have partnered with on several history-oriented projects, who made an off-head quip on the subject. His account, which included a military history page with thousands of followers and helped support his professional career, was ionized promptly.
But what is even more disturbing, it appears Dawkins was judged for remarks he made on another platform.
Dawkins announced on Saturday that his account was deleted after he commented on the participation of genetically male athletes in the Paris Olympics, referencing Algerian boxer Imane Khelif. In a post on X, Musk expressed his disapproval of Meta’s content moderation policies, stating, “Facebook, aka ‘Meta,’ can never be trusted.”Dawkins argued against policies that allow male athletes to compete in female categories, which he believes undermines fairness in sports. He clarified that his comments were made on X, not Facebook, yet it was his Facebook account that was deleted.
There have been so many disturbing moments at the 2024 Olympics that if Facebook deleted every account that mocked them, especially over the two testosterone-infused hulks battering females during “boxing,” it would have few users.
But there is an upside for Dawkins. People are taking a look at his X-account, which is loaded with gems.
Dawkins is as unhappy with current British leadership.
Of course, because he is British, he doesn’t get the nuances of the American system of government.
Dawkins will soon be touring North America, in what he refers to as his “swan song”.
Sadly, this is now an era when a famous biologist cannot simply point out a biological fact without being silenced.
However, real facts remain whether the narrative-makers approve of them or not.
