    I just meant, that the memetic transmission is in some sense Lamarckian.

    Derek:
    Well, no, I don't agree. In what sense?

    Kenneth:
    we use Lamarckian principles in order to explain some events happening in
    cultural and social exchange, don 't we !?

    Derek:
    No, memeticists definitely don't do that. That's one of the central tenets
    of memetics, that culture is a Darwinian system.
