Genes, Memes and "Temes"



Whoa! This one will make you think. Are humans just machines that help memes replicate themselves? Blackmore discusses how ideas replicate themselves from brain to brain, and that the next stage of "replicator" on earth (the first being genes, the second, memes) is the "teme," which is spreading itself via technology. And they are making great use of human brains to do it. (Does she always match her hair to her outfit?)
