Being a fascist is associated with memetic thinking, but this cognitive style can exist among anyone, including scientists and academic philosophers.
A person who illustrated very well that highly intelligent people can engage in this was James Watson, the co-discoverer of DNA. Everything he did was from intuition, and it's why he was such a bigoted and stubborn person statnews.com/2025/11/07/james-…

PRESS RELEASE:
A new study led by SETI Institute scientist Matija Ćuk suggests Saturn’s largest moon, Titan, formed from a collision between two older moons—and that this event may also be linked to the formation of Saturn’s iconic rings.

Long shot, but hopefully I get results. In the early 2000s, I read a Ugandan newspaper article about two Indian scientists trying to genetically engineer the anopheles mosquito. That set off alarm bells so I wrote a short story, which some universities in UK and Kenya teach in a course Applied African Science Fiction. I've looked for that article but can't find it. I guess it must have been via Reuters or AP or such a newswire.
Anyone think they can dig it up?

Is this close? From The Statesman (India), January 2, 2006: "Researchers have developed a strain of anopheles mosquito that has the DNA, or is genetically programmed, to generate SM1, and have that found there is a significant reduction in their capacity to transmit malaria."
@7sleepersmusic Oh thanks! This is pretty close, and perhaps related to the one I read! I remember it was before 2006 since I read it while living in my home town and in 2006 I had moved out already, but it could be the one! I will attach it as a possible source to these students 😊🙏
Very welcome! My university has a large database of news articles, let me know if there's anything else you'd like me to look up 😀
the approach is called a •gene drive• & it's quite remarkable. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gene_dri…
The idea, in this case, being to eradicate malaria through introducing genetically modified mosquitoes which propagate their genes into the wild mosquito population & gradually eradicate the disease.
One of those things that, like antibiotics & vaccines, are lifesaving sci-fi that actually exists.

quote from article:
"An American mechanical and chemical engineer named Thomas Midgley Jr. was a key player in the development of leaded gasoline (tetraethyl lead) because it was an excellent anti-knock agent, as well as the first chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) like freon. Midgley publicly defended the safety of tetraethyl lead (TEL), despite experiencing lead poisoning firsthand. He held a 1924 press conference during which he poured TEL on his hand and inhaled TEL vapor for 60 seconds, claiming no ill effects. It was probably just a coincidence that he later took a leave of absence from work because of lead poisoning. (Midgley’s life ended in tragedy: he was severely disabled by polio in 1940 and devised an elaborate rope-and-pulley system to get in and out of bed. That system ended up strangling him to death in 1944, and the coroner ruled it suicide.)"
