    The brain is the hardware. The memes are the software. The mind is the
    whole.

    Richard:
    You don't need to know too much about the workings of the hardware to have
    an understanding of the software.

    Derek:
    But only if the mind _is_ software on the brain's hardware. The Victorians
    thought it was steam in the brain's steam engine (seriously, I have a
    reference for this somewhere, a book by JZ Young if I remember rightly).
