Memetics FAQ

The first version of my memetics FAQ is now available. Enjoy.

  1. I'm having a look at your FAQ now. It looks like a great resource (if a bit heavy on unexplained jargon). I'm learning stuff rapidly from it. For example, I never considered that the word "replication" might be misunderstood when used in the context of memes. Anyway, I'm off to read more of the FAQ. Thanks.

  2. Wow, mind = blown. I came across this line in your FAQ:

    "... genes ... are frequently stored in databases these days."

    We have the technology to sequence DNA based on computer data, and we can pass gene data around as data. That data will be fiddled with. Thus, the separation between genes and memes is eroded. I never thought of that before.

    Incidentally, your FAQ could benefit from a run through a spell-checker.
