I wondered if the author of the cartoon (Jacky Fleming) heard
about memetics, or is it only an echo of nature-nurture debate;
but I like the twist in the joke, as well as the fact that
the student surely caught on to the Metameme :-)
(Otherwise, allow me to say that I've been following the
postmodernism and 'absolute truth' threads with held breath.
My self-inflicted lurking is necessary in order to cope with the
end-of-semester workload, and I wish I could contribute
to the debate; but I'm still here and learning from your
posts by the hour!)
Best wishes to all,
