How is your explanation different than memory propagating through RNA? If memory is being passed through genetics, isn't the employment of epigenetics essential

How is your explanation different than memory propagating through RNA? If memory is being passed through genetics, isn't the employment of epigenetics essentially a tautology?
Saying that the ability to pass memories is limited to a specific type or granularity doesn't negate that a learned response (a memory) was passed on.
- convolvatron 6y agobuts its not a neurological memory, you're just bridging a physiological response from A to B. B doesn't have any new memories, its just being roped into behaving like A because the genetic expression of A altered, and that got copied to B through RNA. maybe 'state' would be a better word
- BobbyJo 6y agoMemory != Neurological Memory is the claim, isn't it? That there is another mechanism for remembering, something besides neurons.
