The meme of memes has been around for a while (1976 to be exact), and is one that has influenced me before. I suppose if this is a concept that you subscribe to then my mental antibodies must be rubbish! I've chosen now to post this concept however because Cecil at the Straight Dope makes some interesting points on the concept of memes and whether they negate the need for a 'mind'.
- Memes A scholarly approach.
- Memes: An Introduction a slightly more accessible version.
- Straight Dope: What's a Meme? even easier.
- Straight Dope: The Teeming Millions lose their minds and the new spin; don't memes get rid of me?
