"What is the most resilient parasite? Bacteria? A virus? An intestinal worm? An idea.
Resilient... highly contagious. Once an idea has taken hold of the brain it's almost impossible to eradicate.
An idea that is fully formed - fully understood - that sticks; right in there somewhere."
Inception, Christopher Nollan
"We actually elected a meme as president" 4chan - whashington post
Hi, I'm Charles Mougel from Epinal, near Vosges Mountains (France). A small city with... i'm not here for that, google is your friend to find that.
I'm here for a reason. An idea : ""what will you say, if you can write to the world ?"" the ""15 minutes of fame"" version with email.
This idea come in my mind sometimes. Sometimes I try to answer. It's difficult. One day, a google search, and i'm here on listserve.
Now, I won. The email is here, and the idea is real. That's a dream and fears. So I let my ideas do the job. I've 2 hours to write something, the survival of the fittest in this context : my brain and the list.
My brain is an ecosystem of memes, the culture is here and outside. I'm the home for that. And the idea of memetics win the lottery of my brain, it will reproduce itself with this message.
I've heard of it some year ago, worked with french memetic society,
and the message is here :
- be carreful about culture ecology, culture diversity. It's like biodiversity and ecology, we are ecosystem, and the natural selection is our individual and collective decisions. Ideas are not just ideas, they are the eggs of actions in the real world, one day. Today we talk a lot about ecology, climate change, but tomorrow the most important thing on earth will be cultural change. For the best or the worst.
What is the best for you, for each of us ?
The good enough memes, ideas, actions, rules, ...
