If you found a mammal with feathers, then you'd know that Darwin was wrong. Well, it's rather the same with memes.

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.

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

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.

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?

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.

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.

For the planet's sake, I hope we have bird flu or some other thing that will reduce the population, because otherwise we're doomed.

Just as the design of our bodies can be understood only in terms of natural selection, so the design of our minds can be understood only in terms of memetic selection.

Consciousness is an illusion constructed by the memes.

Your outcome is not necessarily decided by your income, but by your outlook. To improve your out look, look inwards.

In a world that loves lies, truth is subject to the greatest libels.

In many cultures, women are sometimes literally kept from learning to read or from going to school.

Drones overall will be more impactful than I think people recognize in positive ways to help society.

Storytime is over, Rock. Every time you want to 'bring it,' because it belongs to me, I'm just going to take it!.

It is the human wish to be told lies that keep us as primitive morally and socially as we are. I am persuaded that a lie grounded in human desire is too powerful for mere reason to kill.

Nothing rectifies out-of-control market failures like a healthy dose of government intervention and mountains of bureaucracy.

The best way to lead people into the future is to connect with them deeply in the present.

What was I drinking last night? Furniture polish?

Your fragility is also your strength.
