Dilbert on memes. "Who called this meeting?" "We thought you did. I think we should discuss issues & assign tasks so it's not a complete waste of time." Dilbert responds, "Maybe meetings have become a lifeform capable of calling themselves and thus reproducing via human hosts."
Can memes go extinct? If they spread by natural selection why doesn't socialism go extinct? Or perhaps socialists would prefer this question: why doesn't religion go extinct?
Perhaps nothing goes extinct, the dinosaurs included. They simply change form -- into birds -- in this case. The Tower of Babel may be with us still in the form of the GND. The Tower didn't fall, it's simply hidden information.
