memetic

And advertisements are memetic WMDs, colossal infectious vectors with powerful memetic payloads.

In other words, what is the nature of the memetic engine's idle task (to extend his computer metaphor)?

If the latter, does he think it is a memetic or is it a genetic advantage?

In summary, a click bait title, like in this submission is a finely crafted memetic call.

Well, pragmatically, the difference is immaterial, because to maximize the memetic intensity of anti-fascism, we have to attack all fascists everywhere all the time.

These hypothetical expanding civilizations might be awful or unnecessary by our standards but that doesn't change how memetic/biological/whatever selection processes generally work.

Moreover, what type of memetic idle task might be designed by a community of rational minds whose basic survival needs are being met?

Might it be that we purify memetic procreation of its inefficient dependency on support systems engineered for DNA-genetic procreation?

A good lesson why scientists should rely on argument and evidence instead of memetic weapons that don't care what direction they're being pointed in.

Jokes and limericks are memetic - highly contagious ideas - so they can travel through cultures with little capital and seemingly little effort required.

Not wanting to die is rational from an anthropocentric/evolutionary biology point of view, as continuing life increases the odds of genetic and memetic propagation.

If ads are memetic WMDs, then maybe it is a war.

More irony: the author is attempting to proliferate the meme that "memes are a myth" - presumably to defend some sacred belief system that memetic analysis undermines.

Not to stretch the analogy too far, but this non-consensual transmission of ideas could aptly be described as a sort of “memetic assault”.

Dawkins does not compare language to a "virus" though he admits it as memetic, saving the words with harsher connotations for his ultimate target.

(Seriously though, it's a strange kind of memetic behavior, I rarely see it abbreviated as "PL" ever, but in each comment I scan, people are using "PL" here too.

Memetic analysis would not undermine it, it would explain it;) But I guess explanation kills the magic.
