Robin:
I pointed out the ambiguity as to whether these neural patterns are
supposed to replicate internally (within a brain) or externally (between
brains). But you lapsed back into it. Which do you mean?
Derek:
I don't understand, do you mean where is the replication event occurring?
Robin:
Depends what you mean by "internal memes", though, doesn't it?
Derek:
The Dawkins B definition.
Robin:
What do
you think of the examples I gave of the relevance of the brain to
memetic explanations?
Derek:
They're only relevant _if_ there is something replicating in the brain.
