Subject: Dennett on the self
.....we _identify_with_ some subset of the memes we harbor. Why? Because
among the memes we harbor are those that put a premium on identifying
with just such a subset of memes! Lacking that meme-borne attitude, we
would be mere _loci_ of interaction, but we have such memes -- that is
who we are.
