Bo,
Great idea ! But you are right, memetics in general lacks a metaphysical
foundation. In all honesty, I think it can be done ! We " re- write " the
nature of humankind within a meme- concept.
How does that sound to you !?
One of the ideas I have now for a long time, is just that...
Therefor projects like human selection, eugnenetics, etc are of interest
to me, also " new " ideas like those proposed by Sloterdijk/ Rietdijk
will open up new horizons...
Regards,
Kenneth
