well now. isn't this interesting.......
"self-reliance"
hm.............................. someone is trying to make inroads into a

lest we forget our roots as social scientists folks.......
memetics is an amalgam of social/cognitive psychology and information
systems theory. These are our source domains. Don't waste your wet-ware

Progress comes from the forefront of knowledge. If you're not thinking on
the edge, you're taking up space. Get out the way!
