Interesting lecture. You might want to change your background from you unmade bed to some more credible.

Variation, heredity, and selection, the evolutionary algorithm. Genetic + Memetic evolution - symbiosis NOW. WHITE POWER! lmao

*laughs* That's funny. I watched that talk on the intelligence of crows months ago. I love the crow vending machine. I also love this topic, I would say I'm slightly obsessive about it right now. I think it should be researched more. I mean, the implications are staggering, if we understand memetic evolution to it's bones, we could finally figure out how to be happy and and non destructive. Do you think there is a connection to Memetics and the Transactional Analysis?

I guess in some sense, but not in the sense of the word pragmatism that asserts that principles are impractical.

The evolution of Ideas... Isn't that in essence pragmatism? The ideas that 'work'; are functional, will survive.

Very interesting video... I just recently saw a documentary about Magpies and how they build complex tools consisting of several different parts. That's amazing. Birds building tools.The only thing that would amaze me more would be if they'd start to sell the stuff they steal on Ebay... But who knows...we'll might see that one day :D

I guess it's going to be a long time before moths learn not to fly into bug zappers.

We are part of nature, therefore we should care for ourselves.

Sepero1 (December 17, 2008 at 3:27 am)

My point exactly.

How can something be anything other than nature?
