According to this expanded view of causality, the Darwinian processes of replication and natural selection occur on at least two mutually-facilitative levels associated with the evolution of the universe as a whole and the evolution of organic life. In addition, human technological and sociopolitical modes of evolution may be distinguished, and human intellectual evolution may be seen to occur on collective and individual levels. Because the TE model provides logical grounds on which the universe may be seen to possess a generalized form of intelligence, all levels of evolution are to this extent intelligently directed, catalyzed and integrated.

Gee whiz, you mean Darwin's ideas can be applied to things other than evolving species?

Our history certainly looks like it fits an evolutionary model of some kind, apart from the biological evolution of our genus.

Our inventiveness and "handyman" ability have gotten us from stone tools and living in caves, to modern weapons and tools, and living in large organised communities, with a way more complex social structure. We've invented some pretty amazing tools.

Does Darwinism explain this (the evolution of society and technology), through the mechanisms of variation and selection?
 
I thought memes were an idea that doesn't stand up to analysis?
Like trying to define what "meaning" is.
We already have the science/philosophy of Semiotics, right? What are these "memes" meant to be?
