I've GOT to be tough on this one, Lior. Sorry, I think this'll make you my
social enemy, because the memes I'll transmit here will irritate the memetic
structure in you headspace to fire a large volley of aggressive memes at me.
But what the heck.
Number 1, I'm not anti-semitic.
Number 2, I'm not Christian.
BUT: By whatever means, if a meme shall propagate itself effectively
throughout the totality of memetic processing space, then it is an effective
meme. A "good" meme, in my terms. I don't mean a meme with which I feel a
moral affinity; /that/ definition of "good" is always subjective. I mean a
meme which conforms in effect to the specification of Meme, which is a
cognitive construct which reproduces and spreads throughout the cognitive
processing environment of All Human Minds.
So, if I say that memes which co-opt cognitive processing source by means
which I find repulsive (killing lots of people and using their physical
resources to raise people who think like you) are still "good" memes, you'll
understand what I mean. Like the gene for "compete with thy neighbour" is a
good gene, since almost everyone seems to have it.
