RE: Memes - The Black Swan of 2016

in #memes8 years ago (edited)

Hi @keving, First of all, thanks a lot for supporting and reestem my post, your token of appreciation is a big stimulation to my motivation to write better and more for the community.
I love memetics and I still remember the first meaningful post I think 20 years ago by Glenn Grant, Memeticist.
I don't resist to post here some good part of is post in Memetic Lexicon about memes reaction type:

Conservatism: automatically resist all new memes.

Orthodoxy: automatically reject all new memes.

Science: test new memes for theoretical consistency and (where applicable) empirical repeatability; continually re-assess old memes; accept schemes only conditionally, pending future re-assessment. Radicalism: embrace one new scheme, reject all others.

Nihilism: reject all schemes, new and old.

New Age: accept all esthetically-appealing memes, new and old, regardless of empirical (or even internal) consistency; reject others. (Note that this one doesn't provide much protection.)

Japanese: adapt (parts of) new schemes to the old ones. vector: A medium, method, or vehicle for the transmission of memes. Almost any communication medium can be a memetic vector. (GMG)

Villain vs. Victim: An infection strategy common to many meme-complexes, placing the potential host in the role of Victim and playing on their insecurity, as in: "the bourgeoisie is oppressing the proletariat" (Hofstadter). Often dangerously toxic to host and society in general. Also known as the "Us-and-Them" strategy.

Hahah thanks for this - remember seeing this quite some time ago!

And like your stuff - something fresh to consider, and probably applicable too. Anyway, blockchain's the time to experiment with new ideas.. by the way how do I reach you over in steemit.chat? @charlie777pt

I wish I had more time(I use it all almost fro writing for steemit and go to steemit.chat.
But I've learned a lot in the voice Hangouts about steemit on Discord
I always try no to miss this one at in Discord at 6PM CST usually everyday, please join

I prefer an asynchronous (fancy word for casual) environment so I've yet to even get on Discord. Which is why i've never got out of steemit.chat for "keeping in touch".. (btw, wouldn't this solution give you more time?)

You make me speak the truth hehe, I don't like typing in chat hehe
Too fast for my chicken writing :(. It make me feel my ideas in a funnel :)
2 more days to write my next post and I will meet you on steemit.chat
I really love your idea of one man guild, very liberating :)

Haha first time I've heard about chicken writing? Np, will be around :)
