You know, in turn memetics breaks ALL of the history of philosophy!
Smith: I've figured out the nature of the universe! It's xxxxxxx. Public: We don't care because we don't know who you are. Your idea died before it was propagated. Jones: I've figured out the nature of the universe! It's yyyyyyy. Public: We don't care because your solution depends on a theory not currently accepted by the masses. The world is flat and we are currently ignoring anyone who says otherwise. Your idea died before it was propagated. Johnson: I've figured out the nature of the universe! It's zzzzzzz. Public: Oh that's simply too hard to comprehend! Thanks for writing it up but you're a poor writer so nobody bought your book. Your idea died before it was propagated. Derrida: Deconstruction blah blah blah. Public: Because the speedy nature of our time leaves us all a little confused, we enjoy thinking that maybe everyone is not on sturdy ground. We will copy and forward these ideas as important. |

If someone make a statement, and everyone you know agrees with it, but you feel it's false, do you say so?
Or do you feel your thinking must be lacking something and change your mind? Or just keep quiet? ![]()
