The robot's rebellion

Book • 2003
In 'The Robot's Rebellion', Keith Stanovich delves into the implications of Darwinism on human behavior and culture.

He argues that by recognizing our natural status as 'robots' created by genes, we can use cognitive reform to advance human interests over genetic imperatives.

The book provides tools for rational self-investigation, allowing individuals to structure their behavior to serve their own ends rather than those of their genes.
