是啊，这对我来说曾经是个大问题，直到我读了 David Stove 的《Darwinian Fairytales》。每个读过 Dawkins 的人都得看看这本书。一位哲学家审视了 Dawkins 的真实观点，意识到它基本上就是披着伪科学外衣的中世纪恶魔学……
Yeah, that was a biggie for me, until I read "Darwinian Fairytales" by David Stove. Everyone who has read Dawkins needs to have a look at this. A philosopher has a look at what Dawkins actually says and realizes it is basically medieval demonology dressed up in pseudoscientific…
读读科学哲学家 David Stove 的《Darwinian fairytales》。你会意识到 Dawkins 的书 1) 在任何意义上都不是正统科学，也不是真正的科学哲学（尽管它是对 William Hamilton 等人成果的科普）2)……
Read the philosopher of science David Stove's "Darwinian fairytales." You'll realize that Dawkins book is 1) Not orthodox science in any sense of the word, nor really philosophy of science (though it is a popularization of the work of people like William Hamilton) 2)…
……有了情绪触动，它在脑海里留下的印象会比死记硬背枯燥的事实深刻得多。《Storm of Steel》在我脑海里的印象就比英国官方的第一次世界大战史清晰得多。同样，《Darwinian Fairytales》不仅完全正确，而且极其搞笑，比起《The Selfish Gene》来让我记得深刻得多——尽管我在后者上花的心思要多得多。
…feel something, it's going to stick with you a lot more clearly than some recitation of dry facts. Storm of Steel sticks with me better than the official British History of the Great War. Similarly, "Darwinian Fairytales," which is absolutely hilarious in addition to being perfectly correct, sticks with me a lot better than "The Selfish Gene" -which I've paid considerably more attention to.
…spectacularly depressed by the huge contribution of the childless: Copernicus, Swift, Adam Smith, Samuel Johnson, Haydn, Dalton, Francis Galton himself - to mention a few examples at random." (David Stove, Darwinian Fairytales)

John Kenneth Galbraith 的《Money: whence it came from and where it went》——书名不言自明。David Stove 的《Darwinian fairytales》——解《Selfish Gene》毒的良药，而且更有趣。Cesa-Bianchi 和 Lugosi 的《Prediction, Learning and Games》——思考序列机器学习的正确方式——跟《Conformal… 不相上下
"Money: whence it came from and where it went" by John Kenneth Galbraith -title is self explanatory. "Darwinian fairytales" by David Stove -the antidote to Selfish Gene; funnier too.

……那些没有子嗣的人做出的巨大贡献让人感到极度沮丧：哥白尼、斯威夫特、亚当·斯密、塞缪尔·约翰逊、海顿、道尔顿、弗朗西斯·高尔顿本人——这只是随手举的几个例子。”（David Stove，《Darwinian Fairytales》）
