Episode 78: Are Animal Memes Knowledge In the Genes?

from The Theory of Anything · host Bruce Nielson and Peter Johansen

Do animals create knowledge? Deutsch claims they don't because all their knowledge is in their genes. Yet he admits that animals do have memes! But aren't memes, by definition, knowledge outside the genome? How does Deutsch attempt to deal with these problems with his theory of knowledge? And how well do his arguments hold up?
