Richard Dawkins / 理查德·道金斯
Richard Dawkins appears in 186.让你笑到头掉仍不忘思考，伟大的《消逝世界漫游指南》 as the writer of the English reissue preface to 《消逝世界漫游指南》 / Last Chance to See. The episode uses his preface to underline Douglas Adams’s combination of scientific intelligence, imagination, and humor.
His role is mainly framing rather than argumentative. Dawkins’s admiration helps the hosts set the book apart from ordinary conservation instruction: Adams’s gift was making evolutionary and ecological strangeness funny without making it trivial.
95.都市传说：猎奇故事和我们内心深处的焦虑 adds Dawkins through the concept of the meme. The episode uses meme-style cultural replication to explain how urban legend motifs travel, mutate, and survive without a named author.
