Memes, analogously to genes, vary in their aptitude to replicate ; memes that are good at getting themselves copied tend to spread and remain, whereas the less good ones have a higher probability of being ignored and forgotten.

Memes, in this sense, are a philosophical method ; they aren't a scientific object.

Memes require only small amounts of material, and therefore have theoretical similarities to viruses and are often described as viral.

According to Beck and Cowan, these conceptual models are organized around so-called < sup > v </ sup > Memes: systems of core values or collective intelligences, applicable to both individuals and entire cultures.

Among his best-known books are The Twilight of Atheism, The Dawkins Delusion, Dawkins ' God: Genes, Memes, and the Meaning of Life, and A Scientific Theology.

* Memes are also Interactors

Memes themselves are neither good nor bad.

“ Memes stay in memory and they are affected by marketers ”.

The company's website, Cracked. com, continued on and has become known for its humorous lists and compilations, for example, " The 9 Most Obnoxious Memes to Ever Escape the Web ", " 6 Bizarre Forms of Discrimination That Can Lose You a Job " A book collection in that vein, You Might be a Zombie, and Other Bad News, was published in 2010.

Memes do this through the processes of variation, mutation, competition and inheritance, each of which influence a meme's reproductive success.

Memes spread through the behaviors that they generate in their hosts.

Memes that propagate less prolifically may become extinct, while others may survive, spread and ( for better or for worse ) mutate.

Memes that replicate most effectively enjoy more success, and some may replicate effectively even when they prove to be detrimental to the welfare of their hosts.

Memes generally replicate through exposure to humans, who have evolved as efficient copiers of information and behaviour.

Memes can replicate vertically or horizontally within a single biological generation.

Memes spread by the behaviors that they generate in their hosts.

Memes spread in cognitive transmission do not count as self-replicating.

Memes play a comparable role in understanding the evolution of imitated behaviors.

Memes that fit within a successful memeplex may gain acceptance by " piggybacking " on the success of the memeplex.

Richard Dawkins notes ( in Blackmore 2000: The Meme machine, page 13 ), that Memes can be copied in a Lamarckian way ( copying of the product ) or in a Weismann-type evolutionary way ( copying of the instruction ) which is much more resistant against changes.

However, Spiral Dynamics does explicitly define a category of people labeled " Spiral Wizards " who have attained equilibrium around " higher level " Memes.

In the 2010s, the Organization abandoned Joshua, who then joined the Reconstruction after the Eurowar and worked in Quito, Ecuador on the GeoSync Cable and saw with Alice the beginning of the development of memes that would unify all countries and religions, leading to the War of the Memes ( referred to in some of Barnes ' other books ) that culminated in the takeover of Earth by One True.

Alice runs away, and the Organization finds and rehires Joshua to fight in the War of the Memes, for One True.

From Sadi, whom Joshua had met as a woman after the Eurowar and was partnered with when Sadi was male during the War of the Memes, Joshua learns that it's possible to go through the singularity to 1988, when the technology to construct it was first built and put into orbit by the Soviets.

The experts are thus forced to hypothesize sequences of events that have never occurred, probably never will -- but possibly might.

The wife, Amra, and her lover are both savagely portrayed, she as incarnate sensuality, `` voluptuous '' and `` indolent '', possibly `` a mischief maker '', with `` a kind of luxurious cunning '' to set against her apparent simplicity, her `` birdlike brain ''.

Although the false glamour surrounding bourbon or other whisky commercials is possibly no more fatuous than the pseudo-sophistication with which TV soft-drinks are downed or toothpaste applied, there is a sad difference between enticing a viewer into sipping Oopsie-Cola and gulling him into downing bourbon.

Taxation of tangible movable property in Rhode Island has been generally of a `` hands off '' nature due possibly to several reasons: ( 1 ) local assessors, in the main, are not well paid and have inadequate office staffs, ( 2 ) the numerous categories of this component of personal property make locating extremely difficult, and ( 3 ) the inexperience of the majority of assessors in evaluating this type of property.

On the other hand, there are a few antithyroid drugs of this same general type, such as resorcinol, possessing no reducing activity and possibly acting through formation of a complex with molecular iodine.

Systems covering the Gulf of St. Lawrence and possibly the entire coasts of the United States are not impossible.

He is not prepared for it -- naturally, nobody is -- and, what is possibly much more to the point, he is exposed, as few white people are, to the anguish of the black people around him.

Above all, he does not debate mere contingencies, and therefore, if these are possibly dreadful, find himself forced into inaction.

and by deriving legitimate decision backward from whatever may conceivably or possibly or probably result, whether by anyone's doing or by accident, it finds itself driven to inaction, to non-political action in politics and non-military action in military affairs, and to the not very surprising discovery that there are now no distinctions on which the defense of justice can possibly be based.

This may possibly be due to reasons such as psychopathy or that they are so attractive that they need not be seen to be altruistic.

This may possibly be used as derogatory tactic against altruists, especially by those who are non-cooperators.

In such a situation, it may be incumbent on the individual to abjure one of his citizenships to avoid possibly being forced into situations where countervailing duties are required of him, such as might occur in the event of war.

The term Angst distinguishes itself from the word Furcht ( German for " fear ") in that Furcht is a negative anticipation regarding a concrete threat, while Angst is a ( possibly nondirectional ) emotion, though the terms are colloquially sometimes used synonymously.

Ipheion, Nothoscordum, and possibly others are not monophyletic.

Some of the plants are herbs that produce enough scent to possibly dilute the odours of nearby plants, or the pheromones emitted by insects that find those plants, which would otherwise attract more pests.

If foreign objects are not the cause, a doctor will incise and drain the abscess and prescribe painkillers and possibly antibiotics.

If, however, the numbers are referring to allies it could possibly include forces from Tyre, Judah, Edom, and Moab.

As neither tune is attributed and both show elements of oral transmission, scholars can only speculate that they are possibly of British origin.

There are also autobiographical sections in Alcuin's poem on York and in the Vita Alcuini, a Life written for him at Ferrières in the 820s, possibly based in part on the memories of Sigwulf, one of Alcuin's pupils.

They are typically armed with a twenty millimetre or larger autocannon, and possibly with ATGMs.

and possibly gregarines are exceptions as they are thought to have lost their plastids after the diverging last common ancestor of apicomplexans.

The Ababda or Ababde – the Gebadei of Pliny, and possibly the Troglodytes of other classical writers – are nomads living in the area between the Nile and the Red Sea, in the vicinity of Aswan in Egypt.

This trivalent oxidation state (+ 3 ) is the most stable, especially in aqueous solutions, but tetravalent (+ 4 ) and possibly divalent (+ 2 ) berkelium compounds are also known.
