Oh yea, it's heatin up, wonderful, proof that no matter how "enlightened" we
become, it all comes down to feces throwing!! This gave me an idea, about the
environment in mind that lets memes grow or fade. It seems to me that the mind,
a product of brain, has many influences that are internal - ie.. neurochemical
balances, genetic tendencies etc... in which memes have to exist. Any of you
that know me, know that i suspect that fear and reproduction are the most major
internal influences on mind (There are many others that play parts, but I
consider fear and sex to be the most primitive and powerful) I suspect that
memes that use these basic environmental factors as building blocks or as
important parts of their makup, have a very high survival rate. I believe that
*religion* is a fear based meme, and is therefore very locked into mind. I
would also suspect that the opposite is somewhat true. I, who have dedicated a
great deal of personal effort to eliminating the concept of fear, perhaps have
an opposite problem. Memes that need fear to survive, don't do well in my
*mind*. This has at times caused me to be trusting when I should have been
weary, or perhaps I have chosen a more dangerous and less beneficial method of
accomplishing some goal due to my lack of *fear*.
What do you guys think of the concept of "meme environment" in relation to
internal factors? Has this subject been broached before and I missed it?
