+(pron. vak-seem) Any meta-meme which confers resistance or immunity to one or more memes, allowing that person to be exposed without acquiring an active infection. Also called an `immuno-meme' or 'histomeme'.
Common immune-conferring memes are "Faith", "Loyalty", "Skepticism", and "tolerance". (See: [meme-allergy].) (GMG.)
Every scheme includes a vaccime to protect against rival memes. For instance
-
* Conservatism: automatically resist all new memes.
-
* Orthodoxy: automatically reject all new memes.
-
* Science: test new memes for theoretical consistency and(where applicable) empirical repeatability; continually re-assess old memes; accept schemes only conditionally, pending future re:-assessment.
-
* Radicalism: embrace one new scheme, reject all others.
-
* Nihilism: reject all schemes, new and old.
-
* New Age: accept all esthetically-appealing memes, new and old, regardless of empirical (or even internal) consistency; reject others. (Note that this one doesn't provide much protection.)
-
* Japanese: adapt (parts of) new schemes to the old ones.
