How come Richard Dawkins is richer than you?

Question

Is it because you bought his book and he didn't buy yours.

Answer 1

He is justifiably richer than me. Yes, I did buy his book, and though I have not written a book, it’s highly unlikely that he would buy mine if I did write one. A man of such erudition, education, and eloquence could hardly benefit from anything I have to say. I will gladly spend much more to support a man such as Dawkins, and elevate him to wealthier status, for his laudable contributions to academic discourse on subjects as seminal as God, science, and the nature of religion in the public square.

So many within this world are undeserving of the wealth accorded to them, such as athletes, models, and people who are famous for being famous (i.e. Anna Nicole Smith and Paris Hilton). Its nice to see that intellectual acumen, and the generosity to share it, are being paid well.

Answer 2

Because he raised pertinent and serious philosophical questions concerning evolution thirty years ago.

Ohh, and he's angry. People like a good rant.

Answer 3

Interesting how he couldn't do that - oh, is it because I didn't publish any?

Answer 4

Aw, you stole my answer!
