Comment on The word "meme" had been hijacked by ignorants.
notsosure@sh.itjust.works 1 day agoDid you read it? Sorry I asked, it is an important philosophical treaty using the know how collected since Darwin. To call it obscure is like calling the bible, Jean-Paul Sartre or Shakespeare of no importance…
Do you really believe that if you asked 1000 random people, just as many people who are familiar with the Bible, or Shakespeare would be familiar with The Selfish Gene?
It may be that important to YOU, which is fine, but to claim that it has the historical significance of the Bible, and to shut down any potential discussion with “Nah, you’re wrong and people are stupid.” Comes across as more arrogant and ignorant than scholarly.
Treatise. A treaty is a formal, binding agreement between states. I usually don’t comment on mistakes but if you want to be a pedantic ass about using words “correctly”, well, better not make mistakes like that.

I said obscure, not important.
