Examples of memes: ideas, stories, ideologies, jokes, narratives, brands, identities, habits, practices.

Memetics in a nutshell - An evolutionary model of cultural transmission of information patterns from one individual that hosts it to another.

Memes don't care about whether an idea is true or false, good or bad, all that matters is if it gets spread or not, indiscriminately of what the information content is.

Such a interesting perspective. Memes are a living entity evolving and replicating. This is an eco system of memes.

I love practical tools:

Quote

For a particular meme "m":

F(m) = R(m) . A(m) . T(m) . E(m)

F - Fitness, how successful a meme is in its environment overall

R - Retention, how easy it is for a meme's contents to persist in a host

A - Assimilation, how easy it is for a meme's contents to be encoded in a host

T - Transmission, how easy it is for a meme to be transported through the available vectors

E - Expression, how easy it is for the meme to be communicated and propagated

Its a tool to evaluate and craft memes for effective replication.
