    Derek:
    Indeed the case. With memeticists of the puppeteering school adding that
    the string pulling entities are somehow contagious.

    Richard:
    That's a very fair description of our thesis I think. Ideas unconsciously
    (or consciously) influence behavior. Ideas are contagious. The future is
    influenced by the differential selection of contagious ideas.

    Derek:
    Oh good, I hope always to give a fair presentation of ideas (even when I
    disagree with them).
