Memes Quotes

Words are memes that can be pronounced Picture Quote #1

You’re either with us... or you’re with the memes! Picture Quote #1

Consciousness is an illusion constructed by the memes Picture Quote #1

Certainly almost everything we do and think is colored in some way by memes, but it is important to realize that not everything we experience is a meme. If I walk down the street and see a tree, the basic perception that’s going on is not memetic Picture Quote #1

One of the biggest mistakes that people make when they think about memes is they try to extend on the analogy with genes. That’s not how it works. It works by realizing the concept of a replicator Picture Quote #1

If everyone understood evolution, then the tyranny of religious memes would be weakened, and we little humans might find a better way to live in this pointless universe Picture Quote #1

You know, the very strength of science is that it keeps us from the errors of mythos, from getting committed to a set of memes that we adopt because of congruence with what we think we know. Science demands skepticism Picture Quote #1

I like the app where you can make your own memes. I make memes all the time and send them to my friends Picture Quote #1

An Internet meme is a hijacking of the original idea. Instead of mutating by random change and spreading by a form of Darwinian selection, Internet memes are altered deliberately by human creativity. There is no attempt at accuracy of copying, as with genes - and as with memes in their original version Picture Quote #1

The science-fictional motif of lethal, infectious information - bad memes - is a fascinating one, with an extended history. One of the earliest instances is Robert W. Chambers’s ‘The King in Yellow’ from 1895. Chambers’s conceit is a malevolent play: read beyond Act II, and you go mad Picture Quote #1

Creativity needs time to harness before it goes out, and because that’s difficult, memes have become the creative language Picture Quote #1

The interesting question would be whether there’s a Darwinian process, a kind of selection process whereby some memes are more likely to spread than others, because people like them, because they’re popular, because they’re catchy or whatever it might be Picture Quote #1

Specific units - such as memes are intended to represent have meaning when there is essential discontinuity between categories. Such convenient discontinuities are found in atoms, elementary particles, genes, and DNA Picture Quote #1

As for memes, the word ‘meme’ is a cliche, which is to say it’s already a meme. We all hear it all the time, and maybe we even have started to use it in ordinary speech. The man who invented it was Richard Dawkins, who was, not coincidentally, an evolutionary biologist. And he invented it as an analog for the gene Picture Quote #1
