!Virus is ... * a forum for [rational] discourse * a memetically engineered [atheistic religion|AtheisticReligion] * a synthesis of [religion] and [evolution] * the best possible [conceptual framework|ConceptualFramework] for living and thinking * a [neo-cybernetic] philosophy for the 21st century * [Darwin's dangerous idea|DarwinsDangerousIdea] [out of control|OutOfControl] * an extended [phenotype] of the VirianCouncil * the world's first OpenSource religion __Goal__ Virus was created to compete with the traditional (irrational) religions in the human [ideosphere] with the idea that it would introduce and propagate [meme]s which would ensure the survival and evolution of our species. The main advantage conferred upon adherents is Virus provides a conceptual framework for leading a truly [meaningful life] and attaining [immortality] without resorting to mystical delusions. __Overview__ Virus is a collection of mutually-supporting ideas (a [meme-complex]) encompassing philosophy, science, technology, politics, and religion. The core ideas are based on [evolution] and [memetics] because one of the primary design goals was survivability through adaptation (religions die, not because they grow old, but because they become obsolete). If a new [religion] is designed around the premise of continuously integrating better (more accurate, more useful) concepts while ensuring the survival of its believers, it could conceivably achieve true [immortality]. ---- See VirusDoctrine and other [ related pages | phpwiki:TitleSearch?s=Virus or Virian ]. %%% See other InterestingReligions. %%% Visit the [web site|http://virus.lucifer.com] and the [BBS|http://virus.lucifer.com/bbs/].
