@chaosprime@marrowing If we can explain the propagation of ideas as Darwinian biology, can we explain astrophysics as botany? -
@StevenBrust@marrowing i don't think "using principles illustrated by" is the same thing as "pretending it's the same thing as". -
@chaosprime@marrowing Not in general. In this case, the difference could only matter to another meme. -
