Hey someone's talking about memetics, still. What a pleasant surprise.

      Right on. I just got so jazzed because I click on the podcast and it goes and I never really know what I'm getting into usually. So to hear memes be practically the focus of the interview and not just what they are but the controversy in the scientific world about the validity of memetics etc made me happy.

      There was also an interview before that with Neli DeGrasse Tyson who is my hero. He really got me thinking about science understanding in the public and wondering if I could possible be a part of that..not really fit for this forum...well unless you look at it as transmitting the meme of scientific thinking to the public....
