meme : atom :: culture : physics
I agree that it's best to inspect culture from the bottom up rather than the top down. Start with the most granular units. Is anyone here acquainted with the current sociological orthodoxy or is that population mutually exclusive with HN commenters? :)
- chc 9y agoI think you probably mean "meme : culture :: atom : physics" (i.e. memes have the same relationship with culture that atoms do with physics).
