You might want to reconsider you're understanding of Genes from the perspective of Epigenetics.

Very familiar with epigenetics. You might want to consider what I was actually talking about.

I obviously didn't get it. Please explain.

I wasn't endorsing Dawkins's theory, which is about ideas more than genes, so much as I was looking through his eyes (as much as one can through those bushy eyebrows).

It is an interesting lens, despite all its flaws, as is the genetic theory that underpins it. Epigenetics adds enormous complexity to that theory, but doesn't necessarily undermine it.

The main takeaway, I hope, is that bad ideas lead to broken bloodlines. Also, that Nashville is still a great town! Maybe we can keep it that way.
