all.
In my opinion patterns (meme and environment) don 't have to be encouraged
to propagate themselves. They can propagate from their " own case ".
There is something strange in the way memes act, if we take it for granted
that they are selfish in nature, like genes.
It is time I think Jonathan to present my article, don 't you agree !?

Kenneth
