Thread:User talk:Armondikov/Memetics redux: Scientific mysticism

When I was first writing out my opposition to memetics, I banged out a post ranting and raving about it being "scientific mysticism," but then I realized that I had no idea what that was supposed to mean, so I wrote an entire essay explaining this to myself. Rambly, needs to be edited, etc. but it explains what really irritates me about memetics.
