    Hi Marsha,
    I've also been following Susan Blackmore ...
    she's the source of my promoting western logical positivism as a toxic
    "meme"
    (It was she who popularised Dawkins term meme itself.)

    Waking From The Meme Dream
    http://www.terebess.hu/english/meme.html
    is a fascinating read, indicating her Zen interests too.

    (I have a hundred other links to her on my blog.
    Put "blackmore" in the google box and check the search button on my pages.)
    Ian
