Hi Howard, > Social groups compete. They battle for pecking order position in a hierarchy of groups.< Your chicken example seemed to be talking about behavior WITHIN groups, where this (above) note seems to consider behavior BETWEEN groups – please clarify? You see them as the same?
>From your brief essay it seems you imply that pecking order/status is driven purely by memes. But then how do memes drive chicken behavior? If memes are not involved, what is truly driving the pecking order, and how does that then apply ACROSS systems/groups? Your reference to conflicts around Islam include noting about differences between Shia and Sunni sects . . . although the conflicts can easily apply to establishing a type of pecking order.
