Btw. i like it when these ~~memes~~ cartoons make people respond. Else i'm quite averse. Up to the point that i'm ignore-button triggered. ...
... Uh, my goodness now that i know that the word "meme" has been coined by Richard Dawkins, of all people ... i'm compelled to dislike it more than ever. :-)

What's your issue with Dawkins, out of curiosity?
Radical materialism, simply wrong. Following his ideas would be completely neglecting the experience of my Self. I have a master's in biology as well, and i understand that way of thinking. Darwinian evolution nothing wrong with that, but it clearly doesn't stop on the material level. I have simply progressed beyond that. I opened up a little about my path in my post yesterday.
