Am I with you so far, people?
another big idea in the mailing list is the idea of meme propagation...
Infection, spontaneous production, maybe even good old fashioned
budding.
what I would like to see, is an analogy in the field of "thought
reproduction" (is there a better term for this?) to the recent
innovation of science: CLONING!
Maybe a "cloned meme" could be the technological spread of idea (sorry,
Meme...),replication without a "real" carrier- through television, junk
mail, autoredialing telemarketeers, etc.....
I'd love some input on this, and on weather I have a clue as to what you
Philosophers are talking about!
