All things considered, I can see no reason to adopt the afterlife hypothesis. I am sure I shall remain in a minority for a long time to come, especially among experiencers, but for me the evidence and the arguments are overwhelming ... We are biological organisms, evolved in fascinating ways for no purpose at all and with no end in mind. We are simply here and this is how it is. I have no self and "I" own nothing. There is no one to die. There is just this moment, and now this, and now this.

If everyone understood evolution, then the tyranny of religious memes would be weakened, and we little humans might find a better way to live in this pointless universe.

One of the biggest mistakes that people make when they think about memes is they try to extend on the analogy with genes. That's not how it works. It works by realizing the concept of a replicator.

Free will and consciousness is an illusion, and the self is a complex of memes.

Parapsychology seems to be growing further away from the progress and excitement of the rest of consciousness studies.

All other species on this planet are gene machines only. They don't imitate at all well; we alone are gene machines and meme machines as well.

The sale of sex in modern societies is not about spreading genes. Sex has been taken over by the memes.
