Great talk about the implication of memes.

Quoted: TED Talks Here's one of those talks that can change your view of the world forever. Starting with the deceptively simple story of an ant, Dan Dennettunleashes a dazzling sequence of ideas, making a powerful case for the existence of &quot;memes&quot; -- a term coined by Richard Dawkins for mental concepts that are literally alive and capable of spreading from brain to brain. On the way, look out for:<br />+ a powerful one-sentence secret of happiness<br />+ a compelling insight into terrorists&#39; motivation<br />+ a chilling view of Islam<br />And just when you think you know where the talk&#39;s heading, it dramatically shifts direction and questions some of western culture&#39;s fundamental assumptions.<br />This. Is. Unmissable.
