: (D)When you think or talk do you constantly search your memory for the
: source of your sentences,if you heard or read them somewhere,or otherwise
: search the literature for who/where/when might have stated something
: similar ?
You wish we read and comment. OK :)
I read and appreciated your essay and already gave you some comments. Again,
the main is that I just see an original wording to the actual reductionist
conception of biology, based on nucleic acids. See amongst many the selfish
gene or extended phenotype concepts popularized by R. Dawkins or the recent
book on the evolutionary steps to the origin of life by J. Maynard Smith and
Eors Szathmary. Can you ask people to read and discuss your work if you do not
read nor discuss their own ? Efforts were made in these books to make them accessible
to a large audience.
Did I misunderstand an important element in your essay ?
