List,
OK, so I'm pissed! Is that what Wade's after...piss someone off till they
come up with something. I already said that the meme is a process. That it
is a basic process that works at all levels. That all you need to do is
find a "level" that someone else hasn't claimed (cellular, sub-genetic,
neuron, whatever). Manipulate the area of study...show a change in
behavior. That's as basic as it gets. All memetics says anyway is that you
can change a <thing> and change behavior, no?
My last post said invent something and call it a meme...infect a host with
it...call the behavior "memetic" behavior. Not basic enough for Wade.
Wade want's a "control" group that has no memes AND a control group that has
memes so he can say that the one is obviously different from the other and
blame it on the meme. First, Wade, define a meme in such a way as to show
that it occurs on some levels and not others!
So, if Wade has an idea that says there is a "no meme" group...fine.
Produce it!
