He didn't bother learning about memes and evolution. Why would I be interested in his non-meme stuff when I'm not even very impressed with what he wrote on memes?
Quote:fill me in: which selection mechanisms don't matter in causing the resulting changes to evolve? and which ones do?Don't matter: The need for it to be physical, like genes etc. You know, all the stuff everyone has been telling you about for 2 threads now, and many pages.
Do matter: The similarity in how selection determines what predominates.
The above is very summed up, and not complete. It will probably not be understood anyways, so not much energy is wasted.
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...
