Robin,
Do you remerber discussion list 31.01.2000
I wrote,
<That is,our genetic build up carries in itself the neurological representation of
f.e. being a teacher and/or the will/the need to become teachers or the pressure
to force our children to become teachers.That info is in my view,indeed the me-
me!?>
Now,forget the genetic build up_lets focus on the rest of the text.

wrote,thus the meme is primarily a ' semantic ' classification.
Thus a ' meaning ' classification!
That is what I meant when I wrote that not only the genes pass on their genetic
info but also the neurological representations of what is encoded in the gene!
It is the ' information ' // ' the meaning ' (genetical directed or not) to be a teacher/
to become a teacher that is important.
It is the 'semantic meaning ' (then in my view a somatic imprint) which gives in return understanding/definition/belief/desire/hope...
Despite the genes,can you agree!?
Regards,
Kenneth
