"To speak of a “Darwinian” process of selection among culturally
transmitted ideas, whether scientific theories or memes, is at best only a loose analogy with highly misleading implications.
It easily becomes an interpretive blank check, permitting speculation that seems to explain any describable human trait... at best they help a little in explaining why we human beings are capable of comprehending the universe — but they still say nothing about why the universe itself is comprehensible.
