'memetica...An ecology'

6/26/2023

 
"Memetica is an ‘ecology’ extending out from evolutionary biology in all its manifold diversity toward the limits of our scientific knowledge in both astro- and quantum physics.  Among humans, this ‘ecology’ includes symbolic exchanges of value we find between individuals (even within an individual), in local human communities, and through global financial and trade markets.  Calling what’s ‘out there’ and ‘what’s happening’ an ‘ecology’ points to a diverse, complex system – really systems of systems – that involves virtually infinite relationships and interactions that are what we call a ‘cause’ as we end up with an ‘effect.’"

-Fragments of Memetica, No. ​14.  [20201018]

"Self-Organizational Powers"

6/1/2023

 
"Memetica is a romantic spirituality in an age of globalization.  The globalization is capitalist, but it isn’t only that; it is also religious and socialist.  It gets right to how people are able to transmit their feelings and thoughts to each other in both immediated and mediated forms and transactions / interactions.
 
Memetica is a romantic spirituality in an age of indigenous renewal.  Wherever there are distinct people groups, there has been, is, or may be opportunity for self-identification as ‘a people.’ 
 
As a people distinct from other people, there comes identity and self-organizational powers for living, growing, competing, cooperating, and thriving in and of themselves and in relation to global systems."
