fuckin, OW!

this is not friendly to the cause, but i think it's well worth reading to understand why memetics *isn't* the academic subject it should(?) be. it's pretty short, and from 2001.

the TLDR: "Despite the efforts of some bright intellectuals to provide this fashionable metaphoric dogma with any scientific basis memetics continues to be a pseudoscientific theory that poses more confusions than solutions for the study of consciousness and the evolution of culture."
