Aaron:
However, he [Dawkins] has in 2001 accepted a $100,000
Kistler prize basically for having coined the word
meme and written a handful of non-technical articles
using it.
Derek.
Oh come on Aaron, reality gap alert, please!!
What the Kistler prize is really for:
"Given by the Foundation For the Future, the Prize
recognizes international scholarship
in the field of genetics. It is awarded for original,
substantive, and innovative contributions
to the understanding of the relationship between
genetics and human behavior,
including intelligence. These contributions are of a
scientific nature, employing scientific
methods to establish the connections between genetics
and human behavior." from

Dawkins deserves that prize, doesn't he?
