I don't know, dude. I think too many people aren't engaged in practices where their knowledge is relevant to their work or genuine creativity.

I think the entire concept is suspect covering for what is people just faking it. I'd impeach the idea of culture in the first place.

Dawkins is great but he gets other things wrong, like Catholicism. He seems to treat it as a primitive Anglicanism.

I can see why he abandons Anglicanism, but he seems to fail to appreciate that it's the metaphorical overeach and provincial myopia that are what are problematic.

Memetics seems to cling to administrative strategies that even Nietszche employs. It's the dogma of annointing story that seems to hold things up, in my opinion.

I think it's more about why people seem to or appear to conform and the trouble with consensus and critical theory.
