Àcerca de "memes"
Retirei o seguinte texto da Wikipedia (sim porque eu sou um pombo amante da internet):
The term "meme", coined in 1976 by the zoologist and evolutionary scientist Richard Dawkins, refers to a unit of cultural information transferable from one mind to another. Dawkins said, Examples of memes are tunes, catch-phrases, beliefs, clothes fashions, ways of making pots or of building arches. A meme propagates itself as a unit of cultural evolution and diffusion — analogous in many ways to the behavior of the gene (the unit of genetic information). Often memes propagate as more-or-less integrated cooperative sets or groups, referred to as memeplexes or meme-complexes.
The idea of memes has proved a successful meme in its own right, gaining a degree of penetration into popular culture which relatively few modern scientific theories achieve.
Proponents of memes suggest that memes evolve via natural selection — in a way very similar to Charles Darwin's ideas concerning biological evolution — on the premise that variation, mutation, competition, and "inheritance" influence their replicative success. For example, while one idea may become extinct, other ideas will survive, spread and mutate — for better or for worse — through modification.
Meme-theorists contend that memes most beneficial to their hosts will not necessarily survive; rather, those memes which replicate the most effectively spread best; which allows for the possibility that successful memes might prove detrimental to their hosts.
A maior parte das pessoas preocupam-se demasiado a passar os seus genes (tendo filhos) o que não é em si nada de mau é até algo de bom, descurando quase por completo os "memes". Parece-me no entanto que deveria de haver um maior empenho de todos na criação de "memes" que permitam melhorar a vida de todos neste planeta. Um exemplo dado no livro "O Gene Egoísta" é que a influência actual dos genes do grande Galileu será extremamente pequena ao passo que os seus "memes" continuam com um vigor impressionante.
O meu maior desejo é ser capaz de criar "memes" que ajudem a melhorar o Mundo e que sejam lembrados daqui por 500 anos.

J'ai le meme envie.
Este post esta meme bom! Muito giro!
Que disparate. Os mémés são aqueles animais ovinos, cuja única ligação à genética se vê no facto do 1º animal clownado ter sido a Dolle, parton... pardon, Dolly.
