Re: UKNM: Memes and marketing

[Duncan Clubb]

Richard Dawkins likens religion to viral infection - if you don't catch

it from your parents, there is a good chance you might catch it at

school.  By far the best book ever written (IMHO) on evolutionary theory

and propagation of memes/genes/etc. is Darwin's Dangerous Idea by Daniel

C Dennett - worth a read even if you think we're all stretching a point

just a little too far here.

Aye
