memetics

So, guys, now that I have listened to the masses and removed that ads, what sort of polling question should I ask?  Maybe it should be simple: McCain or Obama?  Please let me know via the comments.

My friends! I have listened to your requests for me to remove advertising from Memes.org in the poll I have had on the site for months now, Should I Remove the Ads from Memes.org? - 36 votes: 58% in favor of removing the ads is good enough for me. Does this make you happier? What should the next poll be? Please put your suggestions in the comments below!

It's time I came clean. This story is going to be hard to believe. I mean, I would be pretty sceptical if someone told me what I'm about to tell you. This year I actually spoke to a bird. And yes, that's the feathered variety. It's a true story. I might as well just tell it and you can make your own mind up.

Improving the functioning and outcomes of any system is a critical issue especially for formal organizations. Rationalizing on the processes and inputs is universally considered a technique to improve system-wide performance.
 
The simple input-output ratio forms the basis of all attempts at ensuring greater outcomes. Achieving near perfect ratio in a mechanical non-living system is easily achievable but in a human system, rationalization beyond a limit can kill authenticity, spontaneity, authentic human gesture and several ways of relating.

I found this on Wired -- check it out -- Humans Are Just Machines for Propagating Memes, it is all about Susan Blackmore, our version of the Virgin Mary of Memes.org...

When the day comes, that black people, people of color, don't have to prepare our babies to know, not even to understand, that they will be discriminated because of the color of their skin. We will have arrived! This pitiful realization is at center stage n o w! It appears no matter the education, the presentation, the words, the actions. The racial divide card can still be played. Unless one has lived with this negativitiy it is impossible to fathom it's devastating affect.

Here is a primer on memetics that "David" dropped of here in the forums. It is basic and general but it is in fact about memetics, at a basic level, and might be interesting to you.
