I am building such a meme-complex, it's called Zero.
Zero is designed to attack systems which seek to subjugate the human soul, particularly
religion
and government.
The amount of work needed to be done is vast and I need volunteers in the following areas:
* Java programmers
* Artists
* Mathematicians
* (Quality) Mystics and Magickians
* People willing to spread the word, on and off the net
* Constructive critisim
Anyone interested, please visit my web page.
