I was absolutely fascinated by the concept of a "meme" when I first heard of it, and I am so bummed that it has come to basically mean: "a picture with a caption", or "a silly idea".
For instance, when someone talks about "creating a meme", it sets my teeth on edge.
I'm sure that there are many here with a better understanding of memetics than I. Please share your understanding of this fascinating concept.

>he doesn't know what a meme is
Well there are two, but the ladder is not so different from the former.
When they say they want to make a meme the intent is to make something that does what a meme does what a meme is suppose to but since a meme is not made it must mean that whatever they've made must have contained a meme
don't be on the edge for too long

I think they do mean to create something that will catch on and replicate...
But I was thinking the other day how my dad always told me how the daddy long legs over my bed would eat spiders and protect me. Now I tell my kid that. It is a family meme.
Many people would not recognize this as a meme, however.

meme is a bit more basic then some tid bit of information, it is suppose to be something thing that you pick up from a cultural immersion and pass it on irrelevant whether or not you are conscious of it

I've always explained memes to myself as inside jokes. They have the exact same characteristics as inside jokes.

being told about it changes the meaning some what because it is no longer "natural", the passage of this information is conscious, ie, if you didn't tell your son it dies with you
a meme doesn't need to be told, people just pick them up randomly in a society as if they had tentacles that communicated as well
a trend is meme since the original message is always lost or silenced

For in depth knowledge on memes and their mechanics look into the defense departments works with memes as a form of social engineering.

A word means what the users of its respective language use it for. There is no such thing as a private language in which some guy decides what a word has to mean.
We use the word meme in reference to a silly repetitive image. So that is the meaning go meme.
The use of the word meme as an element of the pseudoscientific theory of memetics explains only the etymology of the word, but not its current meaning.

The problem with memes is that it was coined by Richard Dawkins both independently and irrelevantly. Meanwhile, the actual information is effectively lost because it's too politically incorrect to operationalize. The common misconception is that Memes are supposed to frighten masses, when in reality the reverse is true. The masses evolve over time until the programming wears off.
Only the Communists truly understood how to engage in 'Memetics,' precisely because they realized the economic factor couldn't be ignored. That's why Marx was so effective. He operationalized Hegel.
It's like Atomic Warfare; yes it works but yet it's useless. And I doubt a man alive today would have the stomach to hear its real nature.

Where is this from?
>>891742
A meme is a single unit of culture.
And for the eye test the first word I saw was MONKEY. Somehow I got that from the lower left MJOYEH. It's fun being slightly dyslexic and having a "creative" brain that just fords through such stuff to make up words from the apparent jumble. "Enough letters, vowels in the right order, consonants are off...fuck it, that clearly says monkey." Thanks, brain.
Interesting how few words you can make on that chart if you move up it (i.e. the first letter is is on a lower row than the rest). I found seven:
hold
old
jest
as
yen
ax
id
And really, two letter words shouldn't count.
