The haven all memes depend on reaching is the human mind, but a human mind is itself an artifact created when memes restructure a human brain in order to make it a better habitat for memes. The avenues for entry and departure are modified to suit local conditions, and strengthened by various artificial devices that enhance fidelity and prolixity of replication: native Chinese minds differ dramatically from native French minds, and literate minds differ from illiterate minds. What memes provide in return to the organisms in which they reside is an incalculable store of advantages --- with some Trojan horses thrown in for good measure. . .

I'm interested in Memetics as they relate to culture, the virus-like spread and spread of ideas. But I'm not really into the whole pseudo-scientific notion of downloading memories and knowledge.

i subtly employed the theory of memetics in my final year degree show. i have reason to believe it got me a first.
i think it may have helped fliplip in his GCSE woodwork too.

i'm not really into that either..all that may come later. but yeah, the simpler aspects of it are really interesting. the reason i brought up this thread was because i was thinking about 'all your bases belong to us'...a classic example of an effective meme, with the internet and email facilitating it's replication potential.

i couldn't have past with out it.
for my final project i made a box, 4 sides, bottom and a hinge lid. (dam fine it is too). but i also subtly inserted the idea of memes into me project and i think this helped me get a C.
My mum is very proud.
