skwirlinator says:

Yet memes that seal the mind against new ideas protect themselves in a suspiciously self-serving way. While protecting valuable traditions from clumsy editing, they may also shield parasitic claptrap from the test of truth. In times of swift change they can make minds dangerously rigid.

He says "examples of memes are tunes, ideas, catch-phrases,
clothes fashions, ways of making pots or of building arches. Just
as genes propagate themselves in the gene pool by leaping from
body to body [generation to generation] via sperms or eggs, so
memes propagate themselves in the meme pool by leaping from brain
to brain via a process which, in the broad sense, can be called
imitation."</blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/B20FA9F3-4DD8-4A55-AC73-DD21FFD57726/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
