Dear Sphinx,
I appreciate your reply to the Susan Blackmore letter and it will take me a
while to put together a complete reply. I see that in many instances you
misunderstood what I was trying to say, and that's on my head. I'll try to
clear up these areas in my reply. I think the field you are working in is
the most appropriate for this subject because memes are as much artifacts as
shards of pottery or stone knives. They can be used to trace the course of
civilization. People in your field already do this, but I suspect you miss
a lot by not including many of the mental tools people use -- the shards of
which can only be found in the forms of objects and the sounds of language.
Grant
