@slyburner I couldn't agree more...His writings changed my life.

Richard Lewontin is a disgrace to the scientific (and especially molecular biological) community, and his research has been heavily shaped by political ideas instead of objectivity all throughout his career.
-
@RuinSonic Scientists do a lot of thinking, but not a lot of scientists do a lot of thinking *about what they think about* and how they think about it.

@JosephKnight93 He is amazing, the article creationists commonly quote mine him saying "...Moreover, that materialism is absolute, for we cannot allow a Divine Foot in the door. " Once you read the whole beginning of the critique against "The Demon Haunted World" it's like a totally different quote.

"We take the side of science in spite of the patent absurdity of some of its constructs, in extravagant promises of health and life, in spite of the tolerance of the scientific cmmty for unsubstantiated just-so stories because we have a prior commitment, a commitment to materialism." ..."Moreover, that materialsm is an absolute, for we cannot allow a Divine Foot in the door."--Lewontin
Do the serfs, who fund these new priests in lab coats, know the evolutionists are plain 'ole money grubbers?

He has also-rather unwittingly-made a housecleaning of the rampant biologistic-reductive nature of the mental "health" professions. If you haven't read "Not in our genes" (1980), I highly recommend it!

Perhaps he means to say that he'll lose legitimacy within academia.

Richard Lewontin is the single scariest figure in all of science. And I love him for it. We need his hard-edged pragmatism as an antidote to the nonsense of Dawkins and his confreres.

Lewontin is very much a hero and a criminally underrated and under-read thinker. I hope this interview spreads his ideas to a wider audience.

It`s always interesting to hear Lewontin. Many people are tired of oversimplification of most geneticist, physiologists and so. Life is more complex...and interesting.
