Having finished The Selfish Gene several weeks ago, My <genes> are fuzzier.
If you mean genes to be atomic (indivisible, with freedom and etc.)
self-replicators, then a single strand of DNA does not neccesarily[2]
correlate to X genes. Does it? both genes and memes are large messy
bundles which work together to get themselves replicated [2].
[1] A currently unkown member of my household has re-located my dictionary,
and I would rather spend time typing than searching for it. But would
someone spell neccesilarity correctly for me? (Why didn't I think of
looking at how other people spelled it over the past months/years
[non-rhetorical])
[2]Apologies for the low-quality content, but (i) I'm working 9 hours a day
(how does eveyone else do it?) and, (ii) <memetics> and <rational
discource> are losing out. Though when I get back to school, Things may or
may not change.
sadly,
tom.
