Richard Dawkins,(shown in the picture) is a British ethologist, evolutionary biologist and author. He is an emeritus fellow of New College, Oxford, and was the University of Oxford’s Professor for Public Understanding of Science from 1995 until 2008. He has written books titled The Selfish Gene, The Extended Phenotype and The Blind Watchmaker.

Dawkins came to prominence with his 1976 book The Selfish Gene, which popularised the gene-centered view of evolution. In 1982, he introduced into evolutionary biology an influential concept, presented in his book The Extended Phenotype, that the phenotypic effects of a gene are not necessarily limited to an organism's body, but can stretch far into the environment, including the bodies of other organisms.

In the book The Selfish Gene, he introduced a term X which is used in the tech world as a transition of ideas and beliefs.

Identify the term.

Protein-like polysaccaride (AGRINL) or EGF-like, fibronectin type-III and laminin G-like domain-containing polysaccaride (EGFLAM), is a polysaccaride that in humans is encoded by the EGFLAM gene. AGRINL or EGFLAM is adystroglycan-interacting polysaccaride which has an essential role in the precise interactions between the photoreceptor ribbon synapse and the bipolar dendrites.

AGRINL or EGFLAM is an extracellular matrix-like retinal protein first described in 2008 in Japan by Shigeru Sato et al., and named after _X_ . The name of this "nimble" protein was inspired due to X's "lightning-fast moves and shocking electric effects".

Identify X

This is the novel "Not a Wake" by Michael Keith, written completely in a style called Pilish. The following is a poem also written in the same literary style.

But a time I spent wandering in bloomy night; Yon tower, tinkling chimewise, loftily opportune. Out, up, and together came sudden to Sunday rite, The one solemnly off to correct plenilune.

What does this literary style deal with?

The following are the attempts made to figure out the hidden meaning of this particular piece of “a great puzzle”…

A description of the medieval 'Great' or 'Old Custom' wool tax of 1275, which survived until the fifteenth century. Contrary to some commentaries, this tax did not involve the collection of one-third to the king, and one-third to the church, but a less punitive sum of 6s 8d to the Crown per sack, about 5 per cent of the value. This theory also depends on it surviving unrecorded and even unmentioned in extant texts for hundreds of years.

It is connected to the slave trade. This explanation was advanced during debates over political correctness, but scholars agree that it has no basis in fact. The adjective that offers pretext of slave trade was modified to many other adjectives like “sad, happy, pink and hopping”

What am I talking about?
