<< How would a memetic perspective about reality be possible if the
reality won 't lend itself to a memetic point of view in the first place !?
This perspective is and was not completely memetic in the past, nor
is it entirely nowadays. The answer is simple:- this perspective chooses
within the reality of today or of yesterday just that what prepares and
serves the perfect state of and for its own future.
This perspective acts against and condemns on the one hand those
things that are within reality not memetic, and jubilates the things that
are memetic or will be. We get, and that is unevitable a selection- and
cultural evolution; good and bad characteristics are part of what should
be a human/ culture/ tradition and at the same time these stand so far
from the complex and lively reality wherein memes move around.
Finally this perspective results into the exclusion/ death/ non- selectivity
of atleast the half of human reality. >>
