Memetic Warfare

It’s good to see the news is covering our favorite topic:

Everyone’s familiar with the term “meme” by now, so I don’t have to explain that it’s the unit of idea transmission. The struggle over Internet filters, or any other conflict where ideas, facts, opinions, and outlooks collide, is memetic in nature: it’s memetic warfare.

All’s fair in war, supposedly, but I’m someone who has been infected by the meme that we should all fight fair, even – especially – in the war of ideas.

Will the “fight fair” meme become popular in the long run? I hope so. But the way I see it, that will only happen if it is more successful at reproducing than its alternative: “fight dirty.” [slashdot.org]

People are waking up to the fact that it’s war out there: a war of memes. You need to sound better than the other guy, and suppress his memes by making them look stupid. Humiliate if you can. Even better, call him a child molestor or a Nazi.

We can help you realize the gains from memetic warfare in three easy steps. First, we analyze you. Then, we analyze them. Then avoiding the stuff you’re guilty of, we hone in on what they’re guilty of, and explode it into a full-on armada of negative memes.

In a few weeks, your customers will be begging you to forget you ever worked with “the other guys.” Contact us for a quote today.
