permaculture

[Rick Valley <bamboogrove@cmug.com>]

Ever since I got Claude's response to my posting about the desireability for
many mutations in human culture, and countered with my question, "if viruses
promote genetic mutation, what would be the mutation promoting analog for
human cultures" I've been hearing that question in my mind.
Didn't have any takers though, so no one wins any of the *fabulous prizes*
our sponsors have generously donated.
I had been thinking that religion might be one answer; or myth or meme, if
you're trying to get the minimum size package, as in a virus.
What came to me immediately with Claude's use of the word "virus" was Wm.
Burrough's sound bite "language is a virus from outerspace".
