Children are more likely to catch these infections than adults; highly educated individuals who have previously been infected to some degree by the skepticism meme are much more resistant. A strongly developed sense of humor also appears to confer a high degree of resistance, perhaps because humor and skepticism are related by way of irony.

I'm not thumbing it because I think any book by Blackmore or Dennet would serve the same instructional purpose much better.]]> http://www.stumbleupon.com/url/www.etext.org/CuD/Papers/memetics Sun, 13 Jan 2008 18:13:15 -0800 http://morosoph.stumbleupon.com/review/16169719/ Morosoph - A fascinating thesis on replicating forms of all kinds, up to and including self-replicating ideas. I have quoted a representative paragraph: "Note that in its nineteenth century form, the meme of tolerance did not assert that all meme complexes were created equal. To allow other memes to compete freely in the American ideosphere was all the tolerance meme stood for; it did not in any way inhibit the meme that the American political system was preferable to any other. In recent decades, a mutated version of the tolerance meme seems to have become more prevalent in the United States. In this form, the meme asserts that cultural and political meme complexes are of equal worth; in particular, the Soviet MLM complex and the Western democracy meme complex are held to be "morally equivalent." Judged by the values of the American cultural meme complex, however, a meme complex such as the MLM in which intolerance is inextricably embedded is clearly NOT of equal worth."]]> http://www.stumbleupon.com/url/www.etext.org/CuD/Papers/memetics
