- W336436945 abstract "Those of you who, like me, have followed what we consider the precepts of General Semantics for many years and who feel a debt of gratitude to Alfred Korzybski for his contribution to our state of sanity, may obtain additional satisfaction from the field of memetics. Whether you consider yourself a scientist, student, or dilettante, I believe that you will immediately realize an additional assist in this rather approach to an old subject: ideas. The brilliant Darwinist biologist, Richard Dawkins (Oxford University Faculty - England), coined the term which first appeared in his original, thought-provoking book, The Selfish Gene, in 1976. He conceived of an entity (specifically, a unit of cultural transmission), similar in action to a gene, that both replicated itself and evolved. It might be considered the cultural equivalent of a gene, residing in the and replicating itself through interpersonal communication, evolving in the process. We might consider a as an that catches (is imitated) like a contagious thought, with memes functioning as its smallest units. Combinations of memes might form the basis of a religion, a philosophy, or any of society's numerous isms in the form of meme bundles or complexes. Not every thought or idea functions as a meme, but the contagious ones do! The nomenclature of memetics also grows as rapidly and dynamically as memes themselves. It does not take much thought to come to the conclusion that memes exist only in the mind or, as I like to say, the milieu. The symbols for memes, including words, pictures, gestures, or combinations thereof, etc., act as seeds, husks or carriers of the itself, which each receiver reassembles in his or her milieu. Obviously, since identity in the strict sense does not exist in the unique nature of each person makes the structure of the meme, within the cognitive milieu, also unique. Symbols provide the basis, of course, for most communication and the framework for how we understand each other through communication. The token for the meme, its symbology, is not the but the carrier, the provocateur. In my terminology, the nature of the structure of the meme, passed perhaps as a token from one organism to another, allows meaning transfer that promotes a copy in the recipient (although not identical it is close enough for government work). Some believe that the unique structure of the meme, within an individual, may provoke neurotransmitters (such as endorphins, serotonin, etc.) and/or otherwise effect the sensorium in a manner that stimulates that individual (perhaps pleasurably, satisfyingly, excitedly, etc., the rush of the particular meme) and may encourage us to redistribute that to others. Nonetheless, once the originates, human organisms simply propagate it as a seed. Hosts contribute to its evolution from combined unique cognitive milieus and associative networks. Many excellent books and papers discuss memes and their nature, while prolific sources on the Internet offer other opportunities for study. Still, the concept, scientifically speaking, remains relatively new and developmental. Through the concept of memes I have discovered additional and satisfying nomenclature for expanding my thoughts on general semantics and my awareness of some of the mechanisms probably involved in human interactions with the world. This concept of the meme, experienced by humans functioning as hosts, resembles the most current genetic thinking on the ancient symbiotic relationship between mitochondria (or organelles) and cells. The mechanism of processing memetic structure and its interaction within our cognitive milieu could resemble relationships between infectious agents and resultant antibodies, or catalytic agents and physiochemical processes, etc. …" @default.
