Meme Quotes

“The meme for blind faith secures its own perpetuation by the simple unconscious expedient of discouraging rational inquiry.”
― Richard Dawkins, The Selfish Gene

“Have you thought about what it means to be a god?" asked the man. He had a beard and a baseball cap. "It means you give up your mortal existence to become a meme: something that lives forever in people's minds, like the tune of a nursery rhyme. It means that everyone gets to re-create you in their own minds. You barely have your own identity any more. Instead, you're a thousand aspects of what people need you to be. And everyone wants something different from you. Nothing is fixed, nothing is stable.”
― Neil Gaiman, American Gods

“We need a name for the new replicator, a noun that conveys the idea of a unit of cultural transmission, or a unit of imitation. 'Mimeme' comes from a suitable Greek root, but I want a monosyllable that sounds a bit like 'gene'. I hope my classicist friends will forgive me if I abbreviate mimeme to meme. If it is any consolation, it could alternatively be thought of as being related to 'memory', or to the French word même. It should be pronounced to rhyme with 'cream'.”
― Richard Dawkins, The Selfish Gene

Miał brodę i czapeczkę baseballową. - To oznacza odrzucenie egzystencji materialnej i przemianę w mem: coś, co trwa wiecznie w umysłach ludzi, jak dziecięca piosenka. Znaczy to, że każdy odtwarza cię sam w swoim umyśle. Praktycznie nie masz już tożsamości. Stajesz się tysiącem aspektów tego, czego pragną od ciebie ludzie. A każdy pragnie czegoś zupełnie innego. Nic nie jest stałe, nic nie jest niezmienne.”
― Neil Gaiman, American Gods
