What's the current state of memetics in science (universities, journals, and so on)? I thought it turned out to be a dead end.
Susan Blackmore recently described the current state of memetics as a science as being "pathetic".
A few pages on the general topic:
What we do have is a lot of modern work on "cultural evolution". It's not quite the same - but it's close, and it has many of the basics down.
Statistically, memetics may not be doing too well - but memes are going crazy - through the roof. It bodes well for the subject, I think.
Nice, I was impressed by the video and your page on the criticisms of memetics. But I think you'd be more agreeable to more prejudicial people (i.e., most everyone) if you made some stylistic changes; would you care to see some criticisms?
Any feedback you care to offer would be more than welcome.
