Thank you so much. I hope to learn a lot from this list.

How I can guarantee that a meme that I desing will spread itself?
Can you give me examples?

I read about Gregory Bateson in the Cybernetics sites. Also he is one of
the grandfathers of Neuro-Linguistic Programming. The current sistemic
aproach in NLP is based on the work of this brilliant mind.
What do you mean with evolutionary systematics? Seems to be an Integration
of the systemic aproach of Bateson and the work of Darwin in the Evolution.
Could you elaborate more?
Also I´m thinkimg in purchase the book Virus of the Mind. Could you make a
summary of what I can learn from the reading of this book. Specially I like
a summary of the chapter 11 about Desingned Viruses (How to start a Cult).
What do you think of this chapter? Does it have useful method of memetic
engineering?
My best regards,
