Extractions: Go back to Signpost Home Page Sponsored by the Centre for Policy Modelling, the Prinicipia Cybernetica Project, and SEPA, Delft University of Technology ISSN 1366-4786 The Journal of Memetics is a new peer-reviewed academic journal. The editors feel that a journal on memetics can be an important place for scientists and professionals to discuss their views and research in memetics. The first issue is scheduled for May 1997. The journal will be published on the Internet without subscription fee. Like other journals, the Journal of Memetics will only publish papers after they have been approved by peer-review. In order to organize this we have an editorial board with reviewers, and an advisory board. The Journal of Memetics seeks to develop the memetic perspective, with space devoted to relevant evolutionary issues and other related topics. We seek to discuss issues concerning memetics such as: In 1976, Dawkins invented the word 'meme,' defining it as 'the new replicator', 'a unit of cultural transmission, or a unit of imitation' [11]. The initial description of 'meme' by Dawkins is rather vague, as he admits himself [12], 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. Many dialogues disappear after only a brief lifespan. This chaos exists because a general framework is lacking.

Extractions: Virus of the Mind: The New Science of the Meme Virus of the Mind is the first popular book devoted to the science of memetics, a controversial new field that transcends psychology, biology, anthropology, and cognitive science. Memetics is the science of memes, the invisible but very real DNA of human society. In Virus of the Mind, author and creative genius Richard Brodie carefully builds on the work of scientists Richard Dawkins, Douglas Hofstadter Daniel Dennett , and others who have become fascinated with memes and their potential impact on our lives. Viruses of the mind are not a future worry: they are here with us now and are evolving to become better and better at their job of infecting us. The recent explosion of mass media and the information superhighway have made the earth a prime breeding ground for viruses of the mind. Will there be a mental plague? Will only some of us survive with our free will intact? Brodie weaves together science, ethics, and current events as he raises these and other disturbing questions about memes.

http://www.cpm.mmu.ac.uk/jom-emit/1999/vol3/marsden_p.html

Extractions: PaulMarsden@msn.com Gatherer's ( ) demolition tour of mental memetics and the thought contagion metaphor is convincing and is to be applauded. Memetics organised around the interactions of thought contagions (e.g. Lynch ) is problematic because that interaction is neither observable nor measurable. This simple fact renders the thought contagion metaphor both conceptually vacuous and empirically redundant. It is certainly not by performing arbitrary mathematical manipulations and endowing the objects of introspection with contagious properties that will improve the status of a partial and misleading metaphor. As Gatherer notes, the thought contagion metaphor persists largely because of what could charitably be called a `disregard' for linguistics and cognitive science. To this I would add a dangerous `disregard' for the corpus of social science in general

Memetics: Science Of Information Viruses

http://www.nancho.net/memes/infoviru.html

Extractions: 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.

http://www.urticator.net/essay/3/321.html

Extractions: Heuristics The name memetics, by analogy with genetics, refers to a science, the scientific study of memes. However, the mere fact that we have a name for something doesn't necessarily mean that the thing exists (unicorn!), and I'm going to claim that memetics is one of those nonexistent things. I've seen memetics described in many places as an existing science, but I've never seen anything that I'd call a science. In fact, to my mind, the present state of affairs looks like introductory psychology minus the experimental backing a sorry state indeed. On the other hand, just because memetics doesn't exist now doesn't mean that it won't exist in the future. So, what I'd like to do here is speculate about what a science of memetics might look like. First of all, memetics ought to incorporate the evolutionary aspects of genetics, of course that's the whole point of the analogy between genes and memes. Next, although I've argued that

http://www.memento.org/docs/memetics.php

Extractions: Introduction The term meme was coined by Professor Richard Dawkins in his 1976 book "The Selfish Gene". He was referring to the way in which Darwinian natural selection was equally capable of describing how ideas can propagate as it is for describing how genes propagate. It is a nice irony that the term 'meme' itself provides an excellent example of memetic propagation. Since 1976 the 'meme meme' has spread far and wide to the extent it is now part of the English language. It's now generally used to refer to a "a transmissable unit of cultural information". But this shorthand definition only tells half the story, memes are more subtle than that. In this document, I'll explain what a meme is, and what a meme isn't. We'll get back to basics with the Darwinian principles Dawkins had in mind when he first thought of the concept, and see how these principles might be rather useful in the context of knowledge management.
