Point: facts

Counterpoint: memes

This may seem like it's just meant to be funny, but evolution without changes in genes is literally the origin of the word "meme".

Memetic evolution (as opposed to genetic evolution) happens through passing information from generation to generation, so having the counterpoint just be "memes" is unbelievably accurate!

Nerd.

I enjoy the information. I still have to call you out.

I'm proud to have been called a nerd

I'm with Team Meme on this one.
