The Selfish Gene — Replication, Strategy, and Evolutionary Logic (Audio)

Welcome to Crisis in Perception, where we examine the systems shaping our world — one book at a time.This episode explores The Selfish Gene by Richard Dawkins as a systems-level analysis of evolution driven by replicating information rather than individual organisms or group benefit.By focusing on genes as the primary units of selection, the book explains why stable behavioral strategies emerge across species and why biological explanations are often misinterpreted as moral claims. The episode emphasizes explanation over justification, and structure over intent.📺 Watch the Deep Dive and Mini Explainer on YouTube:👉 https://youtube.com/@crisisinperception🎬 Watch the Mini Explainer for a short visual introduction:https://youtu.be/iZW5tSvN5wY👉 https://youtube.com/@crisisinperception❤️ Support Crisis in Perception on Patreon:https://www.patreon.com/posts/selfish-gene-and-149360379?utm_medium=clipboard_copy&utm_source=copyLink&utm_campaign=postshare_creator&utm_content=join_link👉 https://patreon.com/CrisisInPerceptionAuthor Support LineIf these ideas resonate, consider reading the book yourself or borrowing it from your local library.
