But you can learn to be one.

You are implying that scientist, sociologists, political theorists
could not be as "open-minded" as you which is just conceitedness. You
aren't open-minded to memetics, you are gullible.

Because what other people "find" valuable isn't the same as what they
*should* find valuable.
>Memetics contains logic and science. Both are inherently memetic.
What science?
Nobody here even seems to know what science is. There does seem to be
alot of parroting of the myths of what science is though.

It is ironic to call something that isn't a science, a science. That
seems simple enough for me.
