Derek, hope I didn 't scare you, though !!
I just meant, that the memetic transmission is in some sense Lamarckian.
American citizins " copy the actions " which their government throwns upon
them, not the instructions which political brains held at the time making
those
actions.
And Derek, you are not responsible to put Lamarckism back on track, it is
just that American political thought is enbedded in some Lamarckian primeval
soup. And Lamarckism is " a new thread ", yes thanks to us, we use
Lamarckian principles in order to explain some events happening in cultural
and social exchange, don 't we !?
regards,
Kenneth
( I am, because we are)
