The Memetics Of Transhumanism

Extractions: The Memetics of Transhumanism Or: How is the Memetic Health of Transhumanism? This is based upon a posting to the Extropians list Nov 24 1994. What memes are compatible with transhumanism and which are not? From a memetic standpoint, one should expect memes which occupy the same or a very similar "ecological niche" to feel threatened, and try to repulse transhumanist memes. On the other hand, memes whose niches are not threatened, or even helped, by the tranhshumanist memes to support them. The transhumanist memes often bind to memetic receptors normally linked to religious memes, at least the typical western monotheistic religions. Both types of memes have similar baits : the promise of a brighter future, health, prosperity, freedom, happiness, immortality and eventual transcendence. The difference is mainly how these changes should be achieved and what implications they have. Both memes protect the host from many negative emotions by providing an explanation for things and most importantly a future goal. Like all good memes they protect themselves against competitors by denouncing foreign memes as "heretic" or "entropic", or by building a world-view where competing memes are obviously wrong. One of the more unique defenses of the transhumanist meme is its emphasis on openness and tolerance for all other memes as long as they are also tolerant; memes which reject this (like most religious memes) are themselves rejected (this is very similar to Axelrod's Tit-for-Tat strategy in the

http://members.aol.com/ifprice/orgmem.html

Extractions: Companies are not only systems created and controlled by those who manage them but also self-organising entities that evolve through learning. Whereas an organism is a creation of natural replicators, genes, an organisation can be seen as a product of an alternative replicator, the meme or mental model, acting, like a gene, to preserve itself in an Evolutionary Stable System. The result is an organisation which self organises around a set of unspoken and unwritten rules and assumptions. Successful organic strains possess a genetic capability for adaptation. Organisations which wish to foster learning can develop an equivalent, mental capability. Unlike their biological counterparts they can exert conscious choice and puncture the memetic codes that seek to keep them stable; the mental models of individuals, and the strategies, paradigms and unwritten rules at the company level.

Secular Transhumanism (SXH) promotes the quest for knowledge of the methods by which human life may be extended and/or enhanced, without resorting to a "higher power". SXH is the philosophy for the Do It Yourself Immortal ! Humans have long lived with the idea of a limited life span full of discomfort and disease. In recent times, increased medical knowledge has allowed the extension and enhancement of life through the treatment and cure of diseases. It is time for people to view all shortcomings of the human body as hereditary conditions to be treated and cured. Chiefly among these, the process of aging should be targeted for research. The number of people that die each year of age or age related illness is truly staggering, yet the omnipresence of the condition makes most people blind to it. We should strive to make our bodies into the best bodies that they can possibly be. Human evolution is not a purely biological process: The ability of human beings to pass learned knowledge from mind to mind through the use of language, both spoken and written, has given us an evolutionary process far faster than that of genetic evolution. The study of this evolution of ideas has come to be known as "memetics", and the base unit of replicating information corresponding to the gene has been termed the "meme." Memetic processes account for all the knowledge, ideas, and dreams that we have, and they have allowed us to advance in ways which genetic evolution alone could never have taken us. See our
Memetics Complexity And Management
Small actions can ripple through the world. SHIFTING THE PATTERNS. memetics, complexityand organisational or individual transformation. by If Price and Ray Shaw.
http://members.aol.com/ifprice/stp.html

Extractions: See also the Chapter Headings or read the Preface At one level, the idea is simple. Performance reflects patterns, patterns which simultaneously enable - and limit - levels of performance. Yet, if it is so simple to grasp the connections, how come so many of us find it so difficult to shift our patterns for a different level of result? Academically rigorous, well-documented, yet lucidly written this is a startlingly original book - management theory of a higher order. In just the same way as all living organisms develop along evolutionary lines by a process of natural selection and replication of genetic variations, imagine that companies - and the individuals within them - simply conform to patterns (rules) rigidly enforced by behavioural replicators in their own Corporate DNA, or organisational memes. It then becomes possible, given the use of Complexity Theory and other developing ideas, to put the biology of business on a sound theoretical footing. We see how companies, indeed all organisations, function not as machines but rather as obstinate life forms self-organising, self-replicating and fiercely self-protective. No wonder it is so hard to change them. Patterns of Survival To succeed, and even to survive, in today's market conditions companies must at least react to, and at best generate changes in the arenas in which they operate. Doing so requires that they, and their members, learn to continually adapt and change. The need is not lost on most senior managers. New strategies, visions, missions, processes and systems abound - yet all too often nothing really changes. Powerful forces seek to perpetuate the stability of a particular status quo; implicit contracts, rules, exist in any group of people and in wider groupings of companies, entire industries or societies. Sometimes an elite is so steeped in the prevailing thinking that it simply cannot see another way. Frequently membership of any group carries an implicit obligation not to rock the boat. The unwritten rule becomes, in effect
Memetics
Collection of links and essays about memes ideas and concepts viewed as living organisms. Includes sections on memetic theory, examples and applications, controversial issues, a lexicon and a brief bibliography.
http://aleph.se/Trans/Cultural/Memetics/

Extractions: Cultural Sphere Memetics Memetics is the study of ideas and concepts viewed as "living" organisms, capable of reproduction and evolution in an " Ideosphere " (similar to the Biosphere) consisting of the collective of human minds. Memes reproduce by spreading to new hosts, who will spread them further (typical examples are jokes, catchphrases or politicial ideas). At present memetics is somewhat controversial. Partly this is due to misunderstandings about what it means, leading to claims that it excludes human free will, creativity and progress, and that it is bad science. This will likely change in time, as the field matures. Memetic Theory See Also Viruses of the Mind by Richard Dawkins Journal of Memetics: Evolutionary Models of Information Transmission .

I was asked by a friend to put a "pre-release" version online. Comments are very welcome and may shape the final version of this paper. In this paper, I will present an application of general systems theory to memetics, the study of memes. Evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins coined the word "meme" to describe the similarity of ideas to genes. Dawkins says of memes in his 1976 book The Selfish Gene Examples of memes are tunes, ideas, catch-phrases, clothes fashions, ways of making pots or of building arches. Just as genes propagate themselves in the gene pool by leaping from body to body via sperm or eggs, so memes propagate themselves in the meme pool by leaping from brain to brain via a process which, in the broad sense, can be called imitation. Researchers have also likened memes to viruses or germs in that they often seem to come and go in waves, much as epidemics of biological organisms do. One can take Nazism as perhaps the most familiar example of what can happen when a fanatic ideology spreads and gathers many followers. The memetic plague at Jonestown proved just as fatal for the followers of Jim Jones as any biological plague would have, possibly more so. (Henson 1987)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memetics

Extractions: A meme (pronounced "meem", and rhymes with "theme" and "dream") is a unit of information that replicates from brains or retention systems, such as books, to other brains or retention systems. In more specific terms, a meme is a self-propagating unit of cultural evolution , analogous to the gene (the unit of genetics ). The term was coined by Richard Dawkins in his controversial book The Selfish Gene . The concept predates the coining of the term, however; for example, William S. Burroughs asserted that "Language is a virus". Memes can represent parts of ideas languages , tunes, designs, skills, moral and esthetic values and anything else that is commonly learned and passed on to others as a unit. The study of memes is called memetics In casual use, the term meme is sometimes used to mean any piece of information passed from one mind to another. This is much closer to the analogy of "language as a virus" than it is to Dawkins's analogy of memes as replicating behaviors. "The key to every man is his thought. Sturdy and defying though he look, he has a helm which he obeys, which is the idea after which all his facts are classified. He can only be reformed by showing him a new idea which commands his own."
