Reddit mentions of Virus of the Mind: The New Science of the Meme

Memes, or really the study of memetics, is more related to nebulous concepts like "save the children" or "protect the food" which are some of the most powerful memes. Memetics is basically the study of ideas, and how they spread (which is similar to a virus oddly).

I read this back when it came out, very interesting. https://www.amazon.com/Virus-Mind-New-Science-Meme/dp/1401924697

OH nice effort. With a little practice I think you will get the hang of it and become a true meme creating PATRIOT. I think you have the basic understanding of what a meme is but maybe could use a few pointers...

For starters, you will want to read this book. https://www.amazon.com/Virus-Mind-New-Science-Meme/dp/1401924697 maybe go to the library and check it out or buy it on amazon.

Second, you will probably want to understand more about the fundamentalism of artistic interpretation responsive rhetoric. http://enculturation.net/getting-the-word-out

That should be a good start for you to get on with making memes like a girl scout cookie factory. http://www.ego-vero.net/main/its-april-1st-so-dont-believe-anything-you-read-on-the-internet-today/girl-scout-cookie-fire/

I recommend two interesting books on this topic:

• Virus of the mind (The new science of the meme)
  
• The religion virus

For a dumbed down version, read Richard Brodie's godawful book Virus of the Mind

Love that!

But there is also a theory of evolution of ideas that I think could argue the stickiest ones will survive just as the strongest species do.

Virus of the mind:

Last chapter describes how to start a cult.

P.S. This really did it for me:

Awesome post! Would you argue it's more valuable for an individual to avoid ideological adherence altogether? Or better to simply 'tend to their memetic garden' and root out undesirable foliage?
