Hi,

If I may jump in on a brief and abstract note? I found the remark about the PC meme rather intriguing.

In physics, small moons orbit big planets. It's not just a good idea, its the law. I wonder if the same rule might apply in human interactions - although humans are much more complicated due to the many (and less visible) influences.

Might we apply the same idea (where we can determine the relative force between two objects through observation) to the relationships between memes and men? For example, it is clear that the "force" of the PC meme on the average individual is greater than the force of the individual on the PC meme.

Thoughts?

Thanks,

Steve
