Definition of Meme By admin - Posted on September 17th, 2007 Tagged: define defined definition definition of meme ... memetics A meme is any unit of cultural information, such as a practice or idea, that is transmitted verbally or by repeated action from one mind to another. A meme is defined within memetic theory as a unit of cultural information, cultural evolution or diffusion that propagates from one mind to another analogously to the way in which a gene propagates from one organism to another as a unit of genetic information and of biological evolution. Multiple memes may propagate as cooperative groups called memeplexes (meme complexes). Via

Search Memetics Darwinizing Culture : The Status of Memetics As a Science by Robert Aunger (Oxford) From the book cover: "In the past couple of years, there has been an explosion of interest in 'memes'. However, the one thing noticeably missing has been any kind of proper debate over the validity of a concept many regard as scientifically suspect. Darwinizing Culture pits leading intellectuals (both supporters and opponents of meme theory) against each other to battle it out, and state their case. With a Foreword by Daniel Dennett, and contributions from Dan Sperber, David Hull, Robert Boyd, Susan Blackmore, Henry Plotkin, and others, the result is a thrilling and challenging debate that will perhaps mark a turning point for the field." From the reviews: " Darwinizing Culture is a book to be read by anybody with a serious interest in the future of the subject . . . Darwinizing Culture "It is hard to criticize a book that criticizes itself so fully; indeed, despite my disagreements with individual authors, Aunger's strength is to bring together a diversity of views so that most points are fully addressed . . .[The book ] is to be applauded for the refreshing, conservative approach to a field that lends itself to speculation and exaggeration." Simon Reader, Trends in Cognitive Sciences 5:8:365-366 The meme machine Darwinizing Culture as a science pits leading intellectuals (both supporters and opponents of meme theory) against each other to battle it out, and state their case. With a Foreword by Daniel Dennett, and contributions from Dan Sperber, David Hull, Robert Boyd, Susan Blackmore, Henry Plotkin, and others, the result is a thrilling and challenging debate that will perhaps mark a turning point for the field, and for future research.

They insinuate themselves, perpetuate, reproduce, subvert, mutate. How much more so those ideas deliberately seeded in order to engineer social trends and both mass and individual opinion? Were it not for the memetic engineering of the superbrights and hyperturings over the mass of society, the galaxy would schism into warring factions, chaos, intolerance, bigotry, and superstition. Applied Memetics is what holds interstellar civilization together over vast distances. It is also (along with the Distributed Information Net) one of the most important inventions of the Information Age Memes are socially inherited ideas that determine what people think and believe; memetics is the social and cultural sphere what genetics is to the biological. Sophont beings adopt a conception of God or deity, or social biases and prejudices, or particular fashions, because their peers and the media do or their parents and society did, and so on back through the generations. Prior to the first singularity memes were selected via Darwinian processes of "natural selection"; some religions, fashions, ideologies, fads, cultures, and languages proved stronger than others and hence flourished.

Our thesis is as follows: Christianity is a meme a mind virus that lives in the minds of people and is spread through proselytization and other means. Christianity is a meme about God, but it has no other connection to God. The Christianity Meme has been shaped purely by natural selectionthe law of survival of the fittestas it has played out in human minds. It is a sophisticated product of cultural evolution. Being a "true Christian" infected by the Christianity Meme will subject you to aid its survival through its adaptations that allow it to exert control over human behavior.

Hayakawa Wednesday, December 30, 2009 Brain Drain ? Brain Strain ? Politicians have always gamed the system for the advantage of themselves, their districts, their party or their ideology. This is nothing new. What is new is the intensity and sophistication of the gaming of the system. What we have seen in 2009 exceeds anything that has gone before. Why and how are important. And, the why and the how are frighteningly simple to see. The folks who brought us the off-balance-sheet entities and securitized mortgages and other toxic financial innovations have come to Washington. That's the why and the how. New levels of sophistication are required to understand what is happening. Clever columnists write of double-accounting and hidden costs and postponing consequences. This is complicated stuff. New dimensions of memetics are required to convey this phenomenon to the electorate. This is easy, in a way, because the financial damage done by these people and their mindset is clear and palpable to nearly all Americans. Is the GOP exploiting this opportunity? Not yet. Now is the time, folks. Now.

In his book, Dawkins contended that the meme is a unit of information residing in the brain and is the mutating replicator in human cultural evolution. It is a pattern that can influence its surroundings and can propagate. This created great debate among sociologists, biologists, and scientists of other disciplines, because Dawkins himself did not provide a sufficient explanation of how the replication of units of information in the brain controls human behavior and ultimately culture. Accordingly, the term "unit of information" came to be defined in different ways by many scientists. Susan Blackmore (2002) re-stated the meme definition as whatever is copied from one person to another person, whether habits, skills, songs, stories, or any other kind of information. Further she said that memes, like genes, are replicators. That is, they are information that is copied with variation and selection. Because only some of the variants survive, memes (and hence human cultures) evolve. Memes are copied by

Symposium on Memetics EVOLUTIONARY MODELS OF INFORMATION TRANSMISSION as part of the 15th International Congress on Cybernetics NAMUR (Belgium), August 24-28, 1998 About the Symposium The Journal of Memetics - Evolutionary Models of Infromation Transmission , in collaboration with the Principia Cybernetica Project , has decided to organize a first symposium on memetics . The aim of the journal is to integrate the different approaches inspired by memetics, and thus try to establish memetics as a recognized scientific field. The symposium similarly wishes to bring together all researchers working on memetics, in order to allow them to meet face to face, thus stimulating discussions and possible collaborations. The symposium is chaired by two members of the Journal's editorial board, Francis Heylighen and Mario Vaneechoutte. The emphasis will be on discussion, rather than on formal presentation. Symposium Theme In 1976, Dawkins invented the word 'meme,' in analogy with the word 'gene', defining it as 'a unit of cultural transmission, or a unit of imitation'. Thus, he defined the field of memetics, which studies the development and spread of culture and information, on the basis of the Darwinian principles of variation, reproduction and natural selection. Further information on memetics is available through the journal's web server: The initial description of 'meme' by Dawkins is rather vague, which is a possible reason for current diverging views on what a meme really is, and how the memetic model can be used. We are confronted with an avalanche of books, essays, and publications scattered over different journals and disciplines, with dialogue flashing up here and there in an unstructured manner. This chaos exists because a general framework is lacking.

58. Spiral Dynamics > FAQs > Memetics Spiral Dynamics FAQ memetics and vMemes FAQs Questions About Spiral Dynamics and memetics. How do the v MEMEs in Spiral Dynamics, memetics, and Dr. Graves's work http://www.spiraldynamics.org/faq_memetics.htm

Basics Overall Theory Levels Colors ... SITE MAP Questions About Spiral Dynamics and Memetics How do the v MEMEs in Spiral Dynamics ... How do schema and thema interact? How do the v MEMEs in Spiral Dynamics, memetics and Dr. Graves' work connect? Dr. Graves didn't speak of memes or memetics . The terminology of memes and v Memes was added in the 1990s and incorporated into the 1996 Spiral Dynamics book which contrasts memes - ideas and conceptual units which are transmitted between people - with Gravesian levels of psychological existence which are designated as v Memes. (Superscript v + meme was meant to suggest a V alue system as a meme attractor; it is admittedly clunky.) They are meme-attractors and shapers, and sometimes serve as the transmitters which send memes on their way to other minds. To understand the difference, think of contents and conceptualization. Memes are things we think about. v Memes structure how we think about those things. Understand the v Memes active in a person or group - the underlying world view - and you begin to understand why some memes resonate and others don't, and why the same meme can be framed in many different ways. For example, notions like "democracy" or "justice" can be expressed in various forms, depending on the container they're put into.
