The key concept is 'replicator' (with heredity). A fire replicates but it has no heredity; accumulating information is not transferred from generation to generation in fire like with the DNA/RNA/gene replicators. Memes started as a thought experiment searching for replicators other than genes that might be on earth. The question was what else replicates, and really 'memes' are basically 'culture', anything that is imitated from person to person. A meme doesn't have to be in a brain, it can lie temporarily dormant in a book or something. Meme vs. gene is an analogy so both don't necessarily behave the same, but the paradigm did allow some insights. Ex. a letter to your grandmother vs a chainletter. The latter has instructions for its own replication like 'OMG, this is SO TRUE u have to try it. copy & paste this letter to 10 OTHR PEEPL and u will receeve a kiss from someont u lov 4 REAL. I did it and it workd, and if you don't do it you will DIE, OMG'. The chain letter works like a virus hijacking the brain hardware to replicate itself. Replication is like that rare wolfram cellular automata rule that just happens to produce very complex results (life) since the population can vary due to mutations (and sex) so the most fit (best at replicating) get selected and bird wings and snail eyes and peni evolve. Technology is part of culture and you can kind of see it evolve though differently than dna because huge leaps are possible. |

I meant that as a compliment, btw. |

That is very interesting. I wonder if there is potential for an Anti-meme. An idea or action so strikingly bad or non-sequitur that not only would it be impossible to replicate, it perhaps could shut down those very same processes through which memes breed. The mass suicides is my favorite meme. |

is darwinism a meme? and if so, what makes it different from religion? |
||||||||

Memes are an idealistic fantasy. There is no motion without moving things, right. |

Darwinism and science in general would qualify as memes as defined by the theory (ideas that replicates from brain to brain) but science is distinguished by being based on evidence rather than faith (faith = belief without evidence). Really, human minds are primitive and religion can almost be healthy for some in a weird way.. for people like the 'crocodile people' for example maybe (who ritualistically inflict scars on their backs so they look like crocodiles who they have to share their river with). But mostly its corrupt L ron hubbard style viral manipulative stuff (saw a youtube where evangelical christians brought in a cardboard cutout of the US president for the kids to pray to wtf). But what is true and what is comforting are different. |
