Neither - just a straight question (although if you would like to lead it
let me know!)
If the claim is that 'we' are just talking, what's the alternative?
I see memetic engineering as vital, which means that talking outside our own
clique is essential.
And by that I don't particularly mean to 'important people'. Six degrees of
separation.
