Actually, not much of a coincidence at all. Seeing as I was trying to
explain the book to my dad, I'm not surprised that some ideas from the
book leaked into the discussion.
All I was trying to say was that "buttons" and "other ideas/memes in the
environment" are the "environment" in the analogy between memes and
genes. I don't know if the book actually said this directly, but if it
didn't, it certainly should have.
