25. A Memetic Lexicon Rather than debate the inherent truth or lack of truth of an idea, memetics is largely concerned with how that idea gets itself replicated. http://www.istop.com/~ggrant/memetics/memelex.html

Meme Depot : Memetics: "A Memetic Lexicon" "A Memetic Lexicon" Version 3.5 Glenn Grant, Memeticist "An idea is something you have; an ideology, something that has you." Morris Berman What if ideas were viruses? Consider the T-phage virus. A T-phage cannot replicate itself; it reproduces by hijacking the DNA of a bacterium, forcing its host to make millions of copies of the phage. Similarly, an idea can symbiotically infect your mind and alter your behavior, causing you to want to tell your friends about the idea, thus exposing them to the idea-virus. Any idea which does this is called a "meme" (pronounced meem Unlike a virus, which is encoded in DNA molecules, a meme is nothing more than a pattern of information, one that happens to have evolved a form which induces people to repeat that pattern. Typical memes include individual slogans, ideas, catch-phrases, melodies, icons, inventions, and fashions. It may sound a bit sinister, this idea that people are hosts for mind-altering strings of symbols, but in fact this is what human culture is all about. As a species, we have co-evolved with our memes. Imagine a group of early Homo Sapiens in the Late Pleistocene epoch. They've recently arrived with the latest high-tech hand axes and are trying to show their Homo Erectus neighbours how to make them. Those who can't get their heads around the new meme will be at a disadvantage and will be out-evolved by their smarter cousins.

SORITES ISSN 1135-1349 http://www.sorites.org Issue #15 December 2004. Pp. 24-28 Memetics: An Evolutionary Theory of Cultural Transmission 1. Introduction In his 1976 book The Selfish Gene meme . Like genes, memes would be replicators, and the mechanism by which they produced copies of themselves would be imitation: Examples of memes are tunes, ideas, catch-phrases, clothes fashions, ways of making pots or arches. Just as genes propagate themselves in the gene pool by leaping from body to body via sperms or eggs, so memes propagate themselves in the meme pool by leaping from brain to brain via a process which, in the broad sense, can be called imitation [1]. Ever since, the study of memes memetics The question is thus whether the notion of meme is to have a merely heuristic value, or whether on the contrary it may make possible the development of a scientific programme, be it in its original Dawkinsian form or in some modified version. 2. The Meme-as-Germ and the Meme-as-Gene Literature on memetics tends to divide into two main branches, according to the analogy on which it is based. The most popular interpretation of memetics, sometimes known as the interpretation, sees memes as similar to disease agents as reflected in the titles of well-known popularisations and / or vulgarisations of memetics:

Hyper-Weirdness by World Wide Web Science Memes Table of Contents What Is a Meme? Memes on the Internet Memes avant la lettre [A personal hobby. CRS] Jacques Monod Peter Medawar William James The word ``meme'' was coined by Richard Dawkins in his (much-maligned) 1976 book The Selfish Gene: ``I think that a new kind of replicator has recently emerged on this very planet. It is staring us in the face. It is still in its infancy, still drfiting clumsily about in its primeval soup, but already it is achieving evolutionary change at a rate which leaves the old gene panting far behind. ``The new soup is the soup of human culture. We need a name for the new replicator, a noun which conveys the idea of a unit of cultural transmisision, or a unit of imitation. `Mimeme' comes from a suitable Greek root, but I want a monosyllable that sounds a bit like `gene.' I hope my classcist friends will forgive me if I abbreviate mimeme to meme. If it is any consolation, it could alternatively be thought of as being related to `memory,' or to the French word It should be pronounced to rhyme with `cream.'

33. Minding The Planet: Memes & Memetics We might label those past attempts as macromemetics because they are chiefly focused on gaining a macroscopic understanding of how ideas move and evolve. http://novaspivack.typepad.com/nova_spivacks_weblog/memes_memetics/index.html

Minding the Planet October 03, 2007 My Burma Meme Spreads to 17,000 Web Pages in just one week! I've been tracking the progress of my Burma protest meme . In just under one week it has spread to almost 17,000 web pages and it continues to grow. ( For the latest number, click here ). It's great to see the blogosphere pick this up, and I'm glad to be able to do something to help raise awareness of this important human rights issue. This meme is also an example of an interesting new way to spread content on the Web whether for a protest or an ad or any other kind of announcement. It's kind of like a chain letter, but via weblogs. There are many different ways to structure these memes with varying levels of virality and benefit to participants. For some earlier work I've done on meme propagation on the Web see my GoMeme experiments from a few years ago. In those experiments I created a series of memes that spread widely through the blogosphere, based on different viral messages, surveys, and benefits to participants. Other people then tracked the statistics of the memes as they spread. It turned out to be a very interesting study of superdistribution of content along social networks. October 03, 2007 in

38. Memetics: Science Of Information Viruses Tentative answers to these questions are beginning to emerge from the new field of memetics. memetics (from meme, which rhymes with cream) is an outgrowth http://www.nancho.net/memes/infoviru.html

MEMETICS The Science of Information Viruses By Keith Henson Nancho Advisory: While this treatment focuses on the pathological "viral" aspects of ideas, it might be helpful to also keep in mind their adaptive gene-like functions. Conventional wisdom implies that, like germs and Indians, the only good virus is a dead one. Yet we know that memes like liberty, democracy, small-is-beautiful, et salubrious cetera have played an actively benevolent role in human social evolution. To inoculate the earth against the abusive ideas traced below we may have to set a meme to catch (and supplant) a meme... We don't have a science of social prediction. Until recently we haven't even had much in the way of theories. Our continual surprise at the development of cults, religions, wars, fads, and other social movements is a notable exception to the steady progress humans have made in building better models of our environment. Our lack of good models must be considered a major deficiency. A successful theory for the development of social movements will have to provide a unifying theory for events that make up much of the evening news. It will have to discover common features that lie behind the diverse trends causing problems in Nicaragua, South Africa, Northern Ireland and the Middle East. It should be able to produce a plausible model for the breakup of the Rajneesh cult. The theory should be able to predict the conditions under which Turkey will be subverted by a fundamentalist version of Islam similar to that which has led to so much grief in Iran.

Weblog All Comics Eco Gadgets and Toys General ... MySQL Dolphins in a... Tuesday January 22, 2008 Memetics in Action Two months ago a cousins forwarded an email asking me to sign an e-petition requesting Google to edit search results. The heart of the matter was that googling for the single word "jew" returned, as the first sorted result, a link to a site full of outright anti-Semitism. Conspiracy theory, moral outrage and commentary followed, and I was struck by the number of people calling for censorship. Having Google edit results to remove things that you find offensive (and I'm delineating offensive and illegal content) is tantamount to asking for third-party censorship. And that precisely infringes on the First Amendment rights that protect a variety of free speech, whether or not you like the subject of that speech. I'm not a big fan of having others tell me what's allowable, provided it's not illegal. There are two issues at stake: the network mathematics that drive search results and the network behaviors that modulate the content being searched. The first is outside of a network user's control; Google ranks pages based on longevity, number of links to them, quality and ranking of those linking pages, and a number of other factors, none of which are content dependent. The same algorithm that ranks an anti-Jewish site high on the list of "jew" results also puts my own blog in the same search sentence as Sports Illustrated, Czech supermodels and former NHL stars

Witness the impending rush of Silicon Valley marketers to the welcoming doors of the ad firms once more.. Tipping Point and The Long Tail . As a marketer, jumping from basket to basket with all your eggs (and faith) placed in the latest marketing-theory-du-jour has always been a bad idea. As a final thought to reinforce the fabled Hush Puppies story, consider the example of Crocs , the detested shoe that all of us own. The manufacturers thought they had created a shoe for boaters and therefore marketed them boat fairs, marine supply stores, etc. Meanwhile, far from the nautical world, many of us found utility in the shoes simply because of their comfort and ease of care, and Crocs became a massively viral trend . There was no plan to use Boaters as mavens to get to the mass market. The Rest Of Us simply derived our own uses for these shoes. on January 28th, 2008 at 12:40 pm
