Look how easily you've defined these. Why can't the same be
done with the so-called Level 1, 2 and 3 thinkers?

Anyone can define three levels. Here's an example:

Level 1: Replicators based on physics (Example: Stars).
Level 2: Replicators based on genes (Example: Dogs)
Level 3: Replicators based on memes (Example: Emotions)

How many postings, how many contradictory statements, how
much plain nonsense, must we endure before simply tossing
the idea and moving on to something productive?
