A Memetics Manifesto
listening doesn’t indicate deciphering
passively absorbing reinforces beliefs
judgement is a perform of cultural distance
proximity tends to be extra nice than distance as a result of it presupposes a neater interpretation
proximity expresses similarity, whereas remoteness expresses dissonance (suppose echoes)
due to the alteration that will increase in proportion to the space
tradition conveys information and its technique of interpretation
information ignores reality or falsity
the tactic of interpretation determines the diploma of truthfulness
cultures which have the prerogative to break different cultures and reproduce themselves will turn into predominant
tradition is a person truth, and every aspect absorbs and radiates tradition to the identical extent
within the void that fills the space between numerous parts, numerous cultural carriers coexist
the momentary coalescence of sure cultural carriers produces tremendous cultures that pressure the facility of regular radiation
cultural colonisation cancels outdistances, making a extra nice surroundings because the diploma of pleasantness is inversely proportional to cultural distance
head-on collisions of cultures produce scattering, cohesion or domination/subjugation
since identification is exclusive, the associated tradition stays a person truth in order that, even in an amalgamated surroundings, variations coexist, which develop with rising distance/time and trigger new potential conflicts
conflicts can solely be prevented by contagions, which result in cultural dependancy, dependency, annihilation
leaping into the void, abandoning the cultural carriers, is a brave act of provocation, which frees the person from the state of osmotic cultural assimilation
liberation entails a deviation from the principle path, which is disliked by those that concern range as a result of it’s troublesome, if not not possible, to interpret, subsequently unknown, subsequently horrifying
each dominant tradition is such insofar because it has inside it mechanisms of self-protection aimed toward annihilating any discordant risk
these strategies of self-protection could fail due to the coexistence of different cultural carriers figuring out a temporal coalition equivalent to the dominant tremendous tradition, which goals to colonise, to cancel outdistances by making a beneficial house
the extra parts there are, the much less outlined the identification is
the expansion of the cultural parts of the dominant tremendous tradition paradoxically determines the expansion of its weak spot
as in all issues, there’s a cycle of modest beginnings, main development with evident domination, and exaggerated growth to the purpose of creating the multitude of individualities comprising the superstructure unmanageable
so the entire is diminished to unity and explodes into particular person micro-particles, regenerating the cycle yet again
nothing is created, nothing is destroyed, and every part is remodeled
whether or not it’s contagion or a battle, the cycle will repeat itself endlessly
