But I don't want (or need for that matter) any bloody 'symbolic
understanding of the meme'.
I want contact. I want memetics taken away from the philosophical, and
sent kicking and screaming into the physical.
Show me the me-me.
"If language is not correct, then what is said is not what is meant; if
what is said is not what is meant, then what must be done remains undone;
if this remains undone, morals and art will deteriorate; if justice goes
astray, the people will stand about in helpless confusion. Hence there
must be no arbitrariness in what is said. This matters above everything."
- Confucius
Again, don't get too riled. I remain in search, like Diogenes, for the
empirical data of the honest meme. I am not convinced your route leads
anywhere near it.
(Meanwhile, I am rereading Aristotle on Dreams....)
