memes designed to produce reliable knowledge and theories through
observation and hypothesis. People have died to propagate the memes of

Oh, Timmy, Timmy....
I dance, yes, but, science is without shamans.
Science is the memeless observation of nature, not the local dance party

But I'm happy to dance at another party.
