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 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.

Memes are possibly the best example of viral patterns.

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 ”.

* Memes ( by influencing behavior to favor their own spread ; see religion as a meme )

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

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 spread by the behaviors that they generate in their hosts.

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

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

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 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.

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.

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.

`` We were requested by the Secretary General, as I understand it, to discuss with you such matters as appear to us to be relevant, and we are not of course either a formal group or a committee in the sense of being guided by any rules or regulations of the Secretariat.

Mercer's lyrics are characterized by an unerring ear for rhythmic nuances, a puckish sense of humor expressed in language with a colloquial flair.

they are self-correcting in the sense that they are subject to disciplined procedures that check and recheck against error.

In a real sense they are admittedly conservative, but their conservatism incorporates a traditionalized embodiment of the original `` radicalism '' of 1776.

In this sense also, they are surely conformists.

The intimations of a related spirit and ordering of human values are stronger than any sense of disparity.

The uniform fiscal year ensures conformance with another common sense rule, that of having cash in the bank before checks are drawn.

If, for some reason such as economy, we are not going to develop aircraft nuclear propulsion with a sense of national urgency, then we should turn our effort to developing jet engines with a thrust-to-weight ratio of 12 or 15 to one.

We are trying to study a linear operator T on the finite-dimensional space V, by decomposing T into a direct sum of operators which are in some sense elementary.

But it is true that the therapist can sense, when he hears this stereotype, that there are at this moment many emotional determinants at work in it, a blurred babel of indistinct voices which have yet to become clearly delineated from one another.

The dictionary is a form dictionary, at least in the sense that complete forms are used as the basis for matching text occurrences with dictionary entries.

There would be no conceivable sense in going to the opposite extreme of selecting items whose forms are the most unstable.

The necessary inference, as the authors themselves interpret it, would seem to be this: `` ( ( 1 ) Spatial qualities are not among those grasped by the sense of touch, as such.

Therefore, if the sense of touch is functioning normally and there is a complete absence of spatial awareness in a psychically-blind person when the eyes are closed and an object is handled, the conclusion seems unavoidable that touch by itself cannot focus and take possession of the third-dimensionality of things and that actual sight or visual representations are necessary.

for the developments in these areas make sense only if they are connected to the age of revolution itself.

In this sense, authorities believe that all estimates of phony device quackery are conservative.

I do not mean to suggest that these assumptions are self-evident, in the sense that everyone agrees with them.

These conditions are unobtainable -- are not even approachable in the qualified sense I have indicated -- without the prior defeat of world Communism.

Proximate in the sense that there are more distant, more `` positive '' ends we seek, to which victory over Communism is but a means.

they realize the relevance of what they are learning to their future careers, and this sense of purpose is carried over to the academic courses which they are studying at the same time.
