    Mr Bruce Jones,

    Answering your question,I don't think that this was what I said/asked!
    But anyhow,we don't need to reexaminate the past,we know the past,we drag the
    past along in our genes/memes/in our thoughts/thought processes and ideologies.
    We just must learn to apply (the morphogenetic fields of) the past into our lives.

    The cultural advances are then the re-combination of genes/memes at all levels of
    complexity.

    Change is in my opinion maybe natural but certainly not expected.That is a Darwi-
    nitic view where I believe more in a certain (Lamarcks) inheritage of acquired cha-
    racteristics.
    That is_even we think we're modern,we are influenced by (the morphic resonance of)/we organise/we select/we regulate/we structurate along past thoughts/thought processes/morphogenetic fields and meme-complexes,which we acquire along a genetical or memetical way.Of course we don't believe (some might wish,though) and act today as was believed and acted a 1000 years ago;we believe and act upon genetically and memetically acquired lineages/niches of past thoughts/ thought processes/ideologies and what were then cultural advances.
