It's essentially the same line of thinking, but the change, or something new, is people crowd sourcing a Dungeon and Dragons type of role playing semi-secular religion in real time using the internet. I have a few friends who are obsessed with Qanon or are Qanon adjacent, and they think they are discussing politics, but they sound like complete religious nuts.
本质上思路还是一模一样，但改变了的地方，或者说新东西，是人们正在利用互联网，实时众筹一种类似《龙与地下城》跑团风格的半世俗宗教。我身边有几个朋友沉迷于“匿名者Q”（Qanon）或者跟这玩意儿沾边，他们自以为在讨论政治，听起来却完全是一群宗教疯子。

I maintain that the core of Trump's followers are only a heart attack away from turning into a fully fledged religion, complete with "HE will return when we need him most".
我始终坚持认为，特朗普那帮核心拥趸离彻底邪教化就差一次心脏病发作了，而且肯定会配套出现“在我们需要他的时候，他必将归来”这种说辞。

Bryan has been misunderstood as a result of the play. He was actually fairly progressive. He opposed entry into the world war and favored giving the vote to women. > Bryan, like many religious conservatives, was not really opposed to the concept of Darwinism and evolution at the time it first came up in the late 19th century. Instead it was the idea of Social Darwinism, the survival of the fittest, that sounded the alarm with Bryan and many others.
因为那部戏的缘故，布莱恩一直被误解了。其实他这人挺前卫的。他当年不仅反对卷入世界大战，还支持女性获得投票权。
> 布莱恩和当时许多宗教保守派一样，其实并不怎么抵触19世纪末刚兴起时的达尔文进化论概念。相反，真正让他和其他很多人拉响警报的，是“社会达尔文主义”那一套“优胜劣汰”的理论。

Survival of the fittest is constantly misunderstood to mean survival of the toughest. It means survival of the organism best adapted to the environment.
“优胜劣汰”（survival of the fittest）这词儿老被人误解成“谁狠谁能活”。其实它的意思是：最适应环境的物种才能活下来。

even more precisely the organism (but really the gene) that is best able to replicate itself in the environment, which often results in traits mutually beneficial to many individual organisms, like cooperation.
更准确地说，是那些（其实就是基因）最能在环境中复制自身的生物体，这往往会带来对许多个体生物都有互惠作用的特质，比如合作。
79 赞2021/7/7
This was famously elaborated on in Richard Dawkins' book "The Selfish Gene". The term used for cooperation is altruism.
理查德·道金斯（Richard Dawkins）在他的著作《自私的基因》（The Selfish Gene）中对此进行了著名的阐述。这种合作行为所用的术语叫作“利他主义”。
74 赞2021/7/7
I'd like to borrow this thread to point out that "The Selfish Gene" is NOT about a gene for selfishness. This error is made too often. The individual gene is the driver of evolution, and each gene must maximize its own replication or perish. All of the complex systems, structures, and behaviors arise from this basic idea. There is no gene for selfishness, but all genes are 'selfish.'
我想借个楼强调一下，《自私的基因》讲的并不是什么“自私的基因”（即掌管自私的基因）。这个误解真的太常见了。单个基因才是进化的驱动力，每个基因都必须实现自身复制的最大化，否则就会被淘汰。所有那些复杂的系统、结构和行为，统统都是基于这个基本理念演化而来的。压根儿就没有什么“自私基因”，但所有的基因在本质上都是“自私的”。
15 赞2021/7/7
I had the audio book of this. The introduction is Dawkins describing at length what you just said, that it's the Selfish *Gene* (i.e. genes are selfish) and not the *Selfish* Gene (i.e. a gene for selfishness). He goes into quite some detail. This is immediately followed by some other dude announcing the title and blithely calling it The *Selfish* Gene. Nice work.
我听过这本书的有声书版。书的导言里，道金斯花了大篇幅在解释你刚才提到的那点，也就是书名是“自私的·基因”（即基因本身是自私的），而不是“自私基因”（即一个关于自私的基因）。他讲得相当细。
结果紧接着就有另一个老兄出来念书名，轻描淡写地把它叫成了“自私·基因”。干得漂亮。

Dawkins even coined the word 'meme' in this book by combining 'mimema' (Greek for 'imitated') and 'gene'.
道金斯甚至在这本书里造出了“模因”（meme）这个词，他是把希腊语的“mimema”（意为“被模仿的事物”）和“gene”（基因）拼在了一起。

Yes! Most people that use memes every day don't know that Dawkins came up with the word.

I wonder if the connotation of “fit” has changed over time (I do *not* want that to be a pun about “evolving”). If you asked people today what it means to be “fit”, they might answer “healthy” or “strong”. Maybe back in the day they would think more “puzzle piece” which fits the context better (and another damn accidental pun I hate this shit).
我在琢磨“fit”这个词的内涵是不是随着时间推移变味儿了（我可*没*想玩什么关于“进化”的双关语）。你要是问问今天的人“fit”是什么意思，他们可能会回答“健康”或者“强壮”。也许在过去，人们更多会联想到“拼图块”那种契合感，这在语境里才更贴切（操，又来个该死的意外双关，我真讨厌这样）。
17 赞2021/7/7
Maybe, but the phrase 'survival of the fittest' is nonsensical in evolutionary theory. Darwin did not coin it, he did not like it, and he argued against it and its accompanying ideas. A better, but still not entirely accurate, phrase would be 'survival of everything that can, for as long as they can.'
也许吧，但“适者生存”（survival of the fittest）这个说法在进化论里其实挺扯淡的。达尔文并不是这个词的原创者，他本人也不喜欢它，甚至还反对过这个说法及其背后的那一套理论。一个更准确——虽然还是不够严谨——的说法应该是“凡是能活下来的就一直活下去，直到活不下去为止”。

It's unfortunate that "survival of the fittest" is spread as the main thrust of Darwin's work. A better framing might be "hakuna mutata"
说真的，“适者生存”被当成达尔文理论的核心精髓到处传播，实在是很可惜。换成“哈库拉马塔塔”（Hakuna Matata，意为“无忧无虑”）可能还更恰当一点。

I have a co-worker who takes the bible literally....and think humans back in the old testament literally lived to be 300-900 yrs old. Anyway, I told him the universe is 13 billion years old according to scientists calculations. And the the earth is roughly 3 billion yrs old...He said that the earth is only 6 thousand years old because the bible says so or whatever, then I said that carbon dating has proved it to be more than that...He scoffed and said that carbon dating is very flawed and not accurate...So I asked him that what in the bible makes IT so fucking accurate, his reply was, the bible doesnt lie...then I went into how ppl who spent their entire careers in science were all just lying and against the bible...his reply was, I trust the bible...from then on I was like, "ok you brainwashed imbecile, Ill literally never want to talk to you again"
我有个同事，他完全按字面意思理解《圣经》……还觉得旧约里的人类真的能活到300到900岁。
总之，我告诉他，根据科学家的推算，宇宙有130亿年的历史，地球大概有30亿年……结果他说地球才6000年，因为《圣经》上就是这么说的之类的。我反驳说碳定年法已经证明不止这个数了……他一脸不屑，说碳定年法漏洞百出，根本不准……于是我问他，《圣经》里到底是哪点让它变得“他妈的”那么精准了？他回我一句，《圣经》不会撒谎……接着我又问他，那是不是意味着那些把一辈子都献给科学的人全是骗子，都在跟《圣经》对着干……他的回答是，“我只信《圣经》”……从那以后我就想：“行吧，你个被洗脑的傻X，老子这辈子都不想再跟你多说一句话了。”

The best question to ask there is: where did the wives of Cain and Able come from? If Adam and Eve were the first two humans specifically created by God and they had two sons… well… and where did all the people come from which Cain encountered after being punished with the mark? I know the true believers will give tortuous answers and exegetical nonsense but it’s still fun to let them sweat on these (and other) things in the Bible.
在那儿最好的问题就是：该隐和亚伯的老婆到底是哪来的？如果亚当和夏娃是上帝亲手造的头两个人，而且他俩只有两个儿子……嗯……那该隐受了诅咒被刻上记号之后，他遇到的那些人又是从哪儿冒出来的呢？我知道那些真信徒肯定会扯出一堆牵强的解释和胡说八道的经文注释，但看他们因为这些（以及其他）圣经里的漏洞被问得满头大汗，确实挺好玩的。

My Bible freak coworker has an answer to that, he said that they didn't record the near by tribes, to which I said to him, "wait, don't you take the Bible literally "?? He went on some random shit about God not wanting that in the Bible..
So I guess God was playing the Sims or some shit when he made us?? Ugh I apologize, my stupid auto correct keep capitalizing the words Bible and God....I would never
我那个圣经狂同事居然有个说法，他说是因为圣经没记录当时周围的其他部落，我当时就回他：“等等，你不是一向坚持要按字面意思理解圣经的吗？？” 结果他开始在那儿胡说八道，扯什么上帝不想让那些写进圣经里……
所以我是不是可以理解为，上帝造我们的时候其实是在玩《模拟人生》之类的破游戏？？

Yep my first thought at the post title was “This is America” My neighbors are anti evolution religious nuts that love Trump (who is obviously a man of the cloth/s) and think Jesus rode dinosaurs. I’m so tired of these people voting in religious extremist idiots that think Jesus is coming back any day and legislate like the future doesn’t matter. Luckily I live in California so their vote doesn’t matter as much but these people run most the country in between the coasts and really try to hold back progress like stem cell research and by cutting education.
没错，我看到标题的第一反应就是：“这就是美国”。我的邻居全是一群反进化论的宗教疯子，他们爱死特朗普了（显然，他可是个“神职人员”/s），甚至觉得耶稣当年是骑着恐龙出行的。

What’s critical race theory?
批判性种族理论（CRT）到底是啥玩意儿？
19 赞2021/7/7
CRT is a influential but not widely accepted legal theory which argues that since laws which are not obviously racist on their face often end up resulting it racist outcomes due to structural racism, Legal decisions should be made in a way that results in racially equitable outcomes rather than through strictly textual interpretations. However the term has also been coopted by conservatives as a scare phrase that encompasses all teachings of structural racism, inherent bias, and any implication that racism was involved in the founding of America.
CRT 是一种很有影响力但并不被广泛接受的法律理论。它的观点是：即便某些法律条文表面上看起来并不带有种族歧视，但由于结构性种族主义的存在，这些法律最终往往会导致歧视性的后果。因此，法律判决应当旨在实现种族平等的后果，而不是仅仅死抠法条的字面解释。
不过，这个词现在也被保守派给“借用”了，变成了一个用来吓唬人的万能词汇。他们把所有关于结构性种族主义、内隐偏见的教学，以及任何暗示美国建国史与种族主义有关的观点，全都扣上 CRT 的帽子。

The only thing that struck me as “staged” was I recall reading he was a substitute teacher and wasn’t totally sure he’d ever taught evolution when first approached. He figured he had when it was pointed out evolution was in the textbook the school used.

I guessing being the latest update to primates make people feel less special.

他其实根本不是审判的核心。进化论和神创论之争才是重头戏，场面既吓人又好笑。神创论勉强算赢了吧，我觉得这事儿反而更细思极恐。这大概就是疫苗普及前那种反疫苗运动的雏形吧。要是上帝造了猴子，后来咱们又冒出来了，上帝估计会不高兴。我猜是因为成了灵长类动物的“最新版本”，让人们觉得自己没那么特别了。

CRT was established as a movement in the 70’s as well. Funny how it’s been around for half a century, but is only now threatening the very fabric of society.

It's being made an issue now because conservative programming feeds on rallying around topics of hate or outrage. CRT is being twisted by conservatives to mean 'everything we don't like to hear about black rights, initiatives, and history.'

It's interesting to see how the Scopes Trial has come to be understood all these years later. At the time, a strong contingent on the anti Scopes/evolution were social progressives who (imo justifiably) believed that Darwinian evolution would be twisted and bastardized to support white supremacy and eugenics. It's worth noting that the Trial was just 6 years after one of the most horrific summers of pogroms against Black people (Red Summer of 1919) and that eugenicist views and practices were in full swing. Northern Black clergy were terrified that the schools (which were usually deeply white supremacist) would give justification for Black sterilization - or worse. Likewise, even poor whites from backwards places in the South or Midwest understood that evolution could be used to justify sterilizing them or their loved ones. Their fears weren't exactly groundless. For instance, California at the time developed a plan to sterilize the "bottom" 10% of the state population. None of this is to say teaching evolution is wrong, but that those supporting Scopes weren't quite as forward looking as we'd initially think, and conversely, those opposing him weren't as backwards.
这么多年过去了，再回头看当年那场斯科普斯猴子审判（Scopes Trial），挺有意思的。当时，反对斯科普斯和进化论的那拨人里，有一大批是社会进步派，他们（依我看是有正当理由的）担心达尔文进化论会被曲解和利用，去为白人至上主义和优生学背书。
值得一提的是，那场审判发生的时候，距离那场针对黑人的极其惨无人道的“红色夏季”（1919年）大屠杀才过去短短6年，当时优生学的观点和实践正处于全盛时期。北方的黑人神职人员非常恐慌，担心学校（当时通常是白人至上主义的大本营）会以此为借口，给强制黑人绝育甚至更糟的行为提供合法性。同样的，即便是南方或中西部落后地区的贫苦白人也明白，进化论可能被用来正当化对他们或他们亲人的绝育行为。他们的担忧并非毫无根据。举个例子，当时的加州就制定过一项计划，要对州内最底层的10%人口实施绝育。我这么说并不是为了否定教授进化论的正确性，只是想指出，当年那些支持斯科普斯的人，其实并不像我们现在想的那么有远见；反过来，那些反对他的人，也不见得就那么不开化。

This is a really important to note! In a weird way, the anti-evolution side were the good guys in this case because Darwinian evolution was being used to support a number of morally disgusting, Hitlery things, which was in large part what the anti-evolutions were objecting to.
这点真的非常值得注意！说来也挺奇葩的，在这种情况下，反进化论的那帮人反倒是“好人”，因为当时的达尔文进化论被用来为许多道德上极其恶心、像希特勒那样的勾当背书，而这也正是反进化论者所抗议的主要原因。

This bothers me so much! I had a college psychology teacher teach creationism instead of evolution last year. First day I thought we might be getting close to a situation like that based on how he was talking about our lesson plans, so I literally asked “do we need to worry about you censoring lessons? Or will you teach from the book?” Happened not far from where this picture was taken. Fuck that educator in particular
这事儿真让我火大！去年我有个大学心理学老师，教课的时候讲的全是神创论，根本不提进化论。
第一天上课，听他讲教学计划那劲儿，我就觉得情况有点不对劲，于是我直接问他：“我们需要担心你会对教学内容进行审查吗？还是说你会按课本讲？”
这件事发生的地点离这张照片拍摄的地方还不远。
特别想问候这个所谓的教育工作者全家。

As a kid I was thoroughly fascinated by the Scopes trial. I have some family from there, and used to spend Saturdays in Dayton with the courthouse in view. I have a desk from the room Scopes stayed in at my great-aunt's boarding house. Rhea County (where Dayton is) tried to ban gay people from living there about a decade ago, and there's also Bryan College - verrrry conservative Christian college, often making news for discriminating, as one might suspect. I don't spend time at all in Dayton anymore 🙄
小时候我特别着迷于斯科普斯猴子审判案（Scopes trial）。我有些亲戚就是那儿的，以前我常在戴顿（Dayton）过周六，抬头就能看见法院。我大姨妈以前开过寄宿公寓，我手里还有一张桌子，就是斯科普斯当年住那间房里的。大概十年前，雷亚县（戴顿所在地）还试图禁止同性恋者在那里居住。而且那里还有布莱恩学院（Bryan College）——一所超级无敌保守的基督教大学，正如你所料，这学校经常因为搞歧视上新闻。我现在根本不想再去戴顿了🙄

I live in Tennessee, when evolution was taught in school about half the class threatened the teacher, argued with everything because of perceived contradictions with the religion, and refused to learn or participate in any of it. This ignorance still exists here sadly, there is a brand of “Christian” in most of the south that is vehemently opposed to anything that wasn’t taught(indoctrinated) to them at what they call churches but are really gathering spots for hypocrites who have perverted their own religion so they never have to think or change or question their own actions.
我就住在田纳西州。学校教进化论的时候，班里大概有一半人威胁老师，因为觉得这跟他们的宗教信仰有冲突，就对讲的每一点都抬杠，拒绝学习或参与任何相关内容。可悲的是，这种无知在这一带依然存在。美国南部大部分地区盛行着一种“基督徒”，他们极其排斥任何非他们所学（或者说被灌输）的东西。他们口中的“教会”，实际上就是一群伪君子的聚集地，这些人扭曲了自己的信仰，好让自己永远不必思考、不必改变，也不必反省自己的所作所为。

Get ready. If GQP has their way, that law will be reinstated. Dogma over reality again.
做好心理准备吧。如果让共和党激进派（GQP）得逞，那条法律肯定会死灰复燃。又是教条凌驾于现实之上。

As someone who lives within 30 min from Dayton, I can’t recommend monkey town brewing company enough. From the beercheese to the craft beer, it’s simply an amazing experience
作为住在离代顿（Dayton）不到 30 分钟路程的人，我强烈安利 Monkey Town Brewing Company。从啤酒芝士到精酿啤酒，简直是绝绝子的体验。
