looking at history the forces that ebb and flow through mankind are meme dominated, if ya read early parts of this blog you may have an idea of what i am referring to. gene's constitute the physical replication of the individual, the meme is the way societies are formed, they pull together, spread and dominate, acting in the same way a virus does, some are beneficial some harmful, it appears that history and culture is filled with memes that have devastated millions of lives and caused untold misery. the meme has the function of spreading and surviving, ultimately in our animal brains this translates as warfare, subjugation by fear, control via political ideology or religious. its never painless and there's always casualties. recent events show the dominant meme on the planet is radical islam, it spreads successfully and it threatens everything else. it's totally opposed to the meme of judiasm, and it has no limits becuase factored into this meme is the idea that the planet is up for grabs, whereas other religious beliefs are content to just sit back and be islam is aggressive and brutal. it is a shining example of a meme that is successful. it currently holds the world hostage.
we have seen memes like this before, communism, stalinism, early christianity even hinduism but right now this is the meme that threatens the staus quo. irronically the staus quo has become infected with a meme of tolerence, political correctness and 'fatness' the same meme that rome had before it's downfall, in fact there's not much difference between the rome of the past and the america of today, the same history repeats itself, how can we escape its cycle before the barbarians invade again?
