'cellular automata,' et al. DNA, memes, it's all information/computation. yes/no. on/off, one/zero... I enjoy your videos, Tim. Delivery is a bit odd, but striking. Memorable. Information dense and always something to think about. Thank you very much for sharing.

I think Dawkins is simply being conservative because he doesn't want the controversy surrounding memetics to tarnish his reputation. "Let someone else be the Darwin of culture. I've already got my career set. No need to endanger it by making claims which I can't support with evidence."

It would have been very challenging for him to defend memetics without a very strong case to defend it, especially strong evidence. He is the Wallace, not the Darwin, of culture.
