Hi /lit/ I want to talk about Richard Dawkings Selfish Gene in 1976. I will refer to a concept in this book and call it the introduction of, "memes".
In relation to this thread >>7995153
"Is a meme a spook or is a spook a meme?".
What if I propose that all spooks are memes but not all memes are spooks?
Im start to get annoyed by this poster

Do you perceive lol-cats to be a devolution of the "meme" concept?
Frankly, I find it exciting the concept of meme has become so widespread, (in demographics which might shy away from Dawkins' work).
The idea (even in a simplistic form) must colonize minds if we want the discipline to continue. What you see as a lamentable loss of rigor may in fact be a temporary lapse as the concept first permeates larger territory, attracting many more brains to flesh out its theory.
Dawkins really didn't flesh out a theory--he postulated the importance of other replicators besides genes (taking us away from genetic determinism). Let's leave the fatalism current science inherited from Western Religion (everyone must accept this correctly and immediately or the end is upon us) and take an evolutionary, long-term view. This is only the beginning.
I think this will set you straight OP

Holy shit, dude...
