I'm sick of reading mindless and fawning obits of SJG like this one: Stephen Jay Gould, an appreciation. "A brilliant scientist who can write beautifully is an unusual creature, almost an evolutionary impossibility." What a crock of shit.
Who cares if he's dead? That doesn't mean we've lost the right to be objective and intelligent when critiquing his work. I hate idiotically rosy obits.
SJG sucked. Find out why here: The Accidental Creationist. "Stephen Jay Gould is bad for evolution." Ah, much better.
I hope they don't publish any of his works posthumously...
