Holiday Announcement

The Radical Change Group is stopping the weekly release of podcasts for the holiday season, and will resume regular podcasts again on Sunday, January 13, 2008. We have some quite radical and far reaching topics awaiting you in the new year. Stay tuned…

At this point, we would like to ask you for a couple of small favors. If you have listened to some of our podcasts, please take a moment, go to the website (www.radicalchangegroup.com) and leave us a comment. You can leave a public comment directly at the relevant podcast, or write us using the web form on the Radical Team page.

Also, if you find that our podcasts have helped you in any way, please forward this web page to your friends who you believe may benefit from it too. We would greatly appreciate it!

With that, we wish you happy holidays, and see (or hear) you again in 2008!

#14 Introduction to Memetics

A meme (pronounced [mi:m] in IPA), as defined within memetic theory, comprises a theoretical unit of cultural information, the building block of cultural evolution or diffusion that propagates from one mind to another analogously to the way in which a gene propagates from one organism to another as a unit of genetic information and of biological evolution.[1] Multiple memes may propagate as cooperative groups called memeplexes (meme complexes). (Wikipedia)

In this talk, we cover the following topics:

• Definitions of memes and memetics
• Why do we care about memes?
• Meme dynamics (analogy to genes)
• What makes a meme stick?
• How these memes are programmed in us?
• How NLP and Memetics work together
  • Memes as beliefs
  • Belief/meme change techniques from NLP
• How do we dis-infect ourselves from the mind viruses (“bad” memes)?
