Jonathan,
Just in addition here.
Just a thought...
<< as " real " as the first, very true, the second wave is never the same
as
the first.
That is due to, if we take Rupert Sheldrake 's morphogenetics fields at
hand, the " influence" of the second wave on the existing patterns of the
first.
The first wave have an influence on the existing pattern of the second, then
the first and the second have influence on the third, and so on, but the
influ-
ence of the first on the second is not the same of the influence which do
have the first and the second on the third.
Consequently, the influence of whatever came first is long gone...while the
speed of the next influence works faster and faster that due to new and more
precise technology...
In memetic terms, changes occur due to changes in the copy- fidelity, in the
copy- fecundity, copy- longevity and what I add copy- environment.
There is, in principle never a question of copying, something somewhere
changed....
Hope this does not muddles things further...
Regards,
Kenneth
