Anybody see Sir Richard on Channel 5 last night? He
talked a lot about non-genetic evolution through the
medium of language, which I thought was going to lead
into a discussion of memes, but then seemed to veer
off into a lot of stuff about 'purposiveness' (I
suspect this is going to be his next big thing), and
not a single mention of the m-word...... Baroness
Susan Greenfield (an ex-classmate of Sue Blackmore in
Oxford in the 70s) is on later in the week talking
about consciousness - in fact it might even be
tonight.
(Sir Harry Kroto was on Tuesday night's program, and
Sir Steven Hawking on Monday - perhaps the series is
actually about the homours system......)
