    Extractions: Milk-bottle opening behavior in a species of bird known as the British tit has been put forward as an example of a meme in a non-human animal. In this e-paper I argue that milk-bottle opening behavior in the British tit is not memetic and is better explained by appealing to its innate behavioral repertoire.

Benzon of ``The Electric Meme: A New Theory of How We Think'' by Robert Aunger, The Free Press, 2002, ISBN 0743201507. Dawkins had little to say about just where one might look in the brain to find memes and other memeticists have been content to follow him in that. Robert Aunger, an anthropologist at the University of Cambridge, believes that it is time memeticists end their agnosticism on this matter. To that purpose he has written The Electric Meme. It is best viewed as two books. One book is comprised of the first six chapters, which are preparatory in nature, reviewing the current state of memetics, alternative analyses of human cultural evolution, types of replicator (DNA, prions, computer viruses), and the physical nature of information. This book is competent, interesting, and thought provoking. The second book sets forth Aunger's new theory of neuromemetics. It differs from the first as night from day. For reasons that I cannot fathom, when Aunger begins constructing his neural model he sheds the discipline of Dr. Jekyll in favor of the random muttering of Mr. Hyde. This second book is a failure. Aunger's ideas are vague, incoherent, and contradictory. Trying to infuse his phrases and sentences with meaning made me feel like Hercules fighting the many-headed Hydra. Every time Hercules cut one head off, two or three others sprung up to replace it. Every time I've tried to patch one of Aunger's coherence-leaks I've had to entertain a handful of improbable assertions to make the one patch plausible. I cannot recommend this second book to anyone for any purpose.

    http://intelegen.com/meme/meme.htm
    
    Extractions: I s an idea that replicates by symbiotically infecting human minds and altering their behavior, causing them to propagate the meme similar to the way a t-phage virus reproduces by hijacking the DNA of a bacterium. 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. The information pattern is held in an individual's memory, which is capable of being copied to another individual's memory. Individual slogans, ideas, catch-phrases, melodies, icons, inventions, and fashion are typical memes. W hether memes can be considered true life forms or not is a topic of some debate, but this is irrelevant: they behave in a way similar to life forms, allowing us to combine the analytical techniques of epidemiology, evolutionary science, immunology, linguistics, and semiotics, into an extremely effective system known as "memetics". Rather than debate the inherent "truth" or lack of "truth" in an idea, memetics is largely concerned with how that idea itself gets replicated.

    Extractions: About Current Issue Past Issues History ... Submissions Note: this website is still under construction! Refer to the old JoM-EMIT site for more details. The Journal of Memetics-Evolutionary Models of Information Transmission (JoM-EMIT) is an international, peer-refereed, scientific journal. It is intended as a forum for academics and professionals to discuss their research on the spread of information from an evolutionary point of view. The journal is published on the web without subscription fee, proposing two issues per year since 1997 (see the history . Since 2005, the journal is edited by Francis Heylighen, assisted by the managing editor Klaas Chielens. The general policy is determined by the editorial and advisory boards , including many of the experts in the domain. Subject Domain: Memetics In the words of of its inventor, Richard Dawkins, the word "meme" refers to "a unit of cultural transmission, or a unit of imitation". More precisely, a meme can be defined as an information pattern, held in an individual's memory or in an outside artefact (e.g. book, record or tool), which is likely to be communicated or copied to another individual's memory. Examples of memes are ideas, technologies, theories, songs, fashions, and traditions. This covers all forms of beliefs, values and behaviors that are normally taken over from others rather than discovered independently. Memetics is the theoretical and empirical science that studies the replication, spread and evolution of memes. It core idea is that memes differ in their degree of "fitness", i.e. adaptation to the socio-cultural environment in which they propagate. Because of natural selection, fitter memes will be more successful in being communicated, "infecting" a larger number of individuals and/or surviving for a longer time within the population. Memetics tries to understand what characterizes fit memes, and how they affect individuals, organizations, cultures and society at large.

    Extractions: What is neobiology and ethetics? The neobiological model is an analysis of existing biological and memetic theory and presents a new way of looking at living systems and even consciousness itself. It indicates that all living systems, genetic and memetic belong to the realm of biology. The neobiologic model streamlines and simplifies many research and educational models by allowing the social sciences (psychology, sociology, politics, etc.) to be folded into biology and the redundancies and communication barriers between fields can be eliminated as this neo-biological model is further developed and fleshed out. Those that study this new model will advantage themselves by learning many other fields concurrently due to neobiology's ability to unify scientific fields, thus enabling them to comprehend the nature of the entire forest as opposed to a single patch of trees at a time, as allowed by the contemporary 'tower of babel' approach.

    Extractions: memetics /me-met'iks/ n. [from meme ] The study of memes. As of early 1999, this is still an extremely informal and speculative endeavor, though the first steps towards at least statistical rigor have been made by H. Keith Henson and others. Memetics is a popular topic for speculation among hackers, who like to see themselves as the architects of the new information ecologies in which memes live and replicate. meme plague = M = memory farts

The boxes on the right will lead you to the journal of memetics, some linux topics and a number of photo pages. The photopages are either about something: (pet-snakes and frogs anbd a tree-guide) or just about how beautifull photos can be. My tree-guide is an attempt to show how to recognise trees, but in a diffenrent way. I try to show a lot of detail but also much variety within a species. For some time the photo-pages will be ungoing work though:-( The top-button bar takes you to pages on more general topics that interest me: On the academic side memetics (evolution of ideas and habits, but see a better definition there) and evolutionary theory (and philosophy of evolutionary theory). The other pages are less theoretic: my linux pages with various topics. The democratic/civilization page and the hate pages are about what makes me angry. I hope my pages are usefull for some!

    Extractions: Throughout 1996-1997 I researched Richard Dawkins' meme (a cultural unit of information that propagates across our ecologies of mind) and considered specific applications within advertising, cults and postmodern 'designer religious viruses' ( Richard Brodie ). My research trajectory was influenced by my fascination with the late Gnosis Magazine and the science fiction author Philip K. Dick . I was freelancing for the Australian science/culture magazine 21.C and considering the initiatory/philosophical implications of Cyberpunk while in the Temple of Set . In mid-1997 I discovered Clare W. Graves
