Too few sampled comments (2) to say how often HN recommends it.?

Why HN links it

HN readers link a page on memetics that credits Richard Dawkins with coining the term 'meme' 35 years ago. The comments only cite it as a source; none judge the writing itself.

Summarised by Claude from a sample of 2 HN comments that link here. Each comment is marked recommending, critical or neutral (citing without judging); how this works.

This is a very laudable and extensive website (or blog), aimed at reviving Manliness.
