Science has, after all, made some colossal blunders in the past... Our current materialism and its rejection of the idea of a spirit or soul might be just another great falsity.

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.

Imagine a world full of brains, and far more memes than can possibly find homes. Which memes are more likely to find a safe home and get passed on again?

Take male strategies for success in the world. If you've got all the advantages, if you're attractive and clever and all of that, you will generally go for very high quality females.

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

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.

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