Sounds like his thing is politics, so I suppose his interest would be in political ideologies as memes. It looks though, like he doesn't know which selection mechanisms are analogous to each other, and which ones don't matter in causing the resulting changes to evolve.
and i'm genuinely touched that you thought it might be me.
I'm really shitty at giving kudos and rep. That's because I would be inconsistent in remembering to do them, and also I don't really want it to show if any favouritism is happening. Even worse would be inconsistencies causing false favouritisms to show. So, fuck it. Just assume that I've given you some good rep and a number of kudos, and everyone should be happy...
