Now I'm not really a fan of Richard Dawkins or his particularly muscular form of aetheism (he gives us a bad name!) However it doesn't stop me exploiting concepts that he created. Hence my hi-jacking of his MEME concept which for the unitiated is 'a unit of cultural transmission, or a unit of imitation,'(The Selfish Gene.) It is a reductionist theory and has some explanatory power, but basically it ends up making ideas and concepts into concrete entities that just happen to need thinking things-Minds-whether organic, mechanical or spiritual-to become actualised. In some ways reading writers like Susan Blackmore you would think ideas have thinkers rather that thinkers have ideas. But I digress. The idea of a 'weaponised meme' which I am happy to call my very own meme,(I hope!) is that some sufficiently advanced culture could find a way of utilizing destructive memes to fire at their enemies. It could have a nebulous physical form simply to enable it to be transmitted over distances. I'm not sure. The Brain model is from a site called 3d Extras and is by an artist called Rian. This is supplemented by a freebie texture from Turbosquid' Sixus 1's Garoux character makes another appearance as our archetypal superintelligent conceptual entity....
