I just watched the documentary “Evolution” on PBS
for the second time.
Unfortunately, Susan Blackmore and Richard Dawkins
did not discuss the theory of “memetics” at the same
time “creation” theory was discussed.
I was disappointed that Geoffrey Miller was not in
the documentary to discuss Darwins other theory,
“Sexual Selection”, and his (Dr. Miller) theory
of why the human brain has become so large and
complex.
If “God” is a meme, and different groups of humans
have different Gods, should we drop the phrase
“Holy Wars”, and call it for what it is, “Meme Wars”?
Suggested Reading:
- “The Meme Machine” (Susan Blackmore)
- “The Selfish Gene” (Richard Dawkins)
- “The Mating Mind” (Geoffrey Miller)
- “Memetics” (internet)
- “Holy Bible” ( ? )
- “Koran” ( ? )
