the Meme Machine

Gabriel Tarde (here, spurdo sparde), an early French sociologist who believed society consists predominantly of the imitation of ideas, and that inventions (the ideas which are imitated) themselves are forms of imitation. His book "The laws of imitation" covers this theory. You could see him as a kind of forefather of memetics.

*spoon clank* buy my book on memetics to beat the lamestream media that's about all peace out
On The Origin of Space by Charles Darwin.
Unironically and 100% honestly, a good book on the idea that the same input should give you the same output. Modern society is so closely knit together via the internet that tastes and humor have generally been homogenized. Look at those civilizations where they've essentially been left alone for millions of years and how different they act compared to the rest of society.
Shut the fuck up, mark.
If there are any good sources on memetics, obviously you've heard about them

>tastes and humor have generally been homogenized

yeah it is well worth a read(meme machine). She comes to the conclusion that our concept of self is a meme as well, which I think fits in nicely with what Ray brassier talks about in the first section of Nihil Unbound, the 'folk psychology' concept of humans we have. Well and 'there is no self' is I suppose not an original idea in philosophy, but it's put in a way that's understandable for philosophylets, as long as they can grasp the whole meme concept.
Mimesis by Erich Auerbach
ive unironically read this already. good book.
i wonder if dawkins has ever read this stuff
interesting. im inclined to say that the memes are definitely what reifies the self.
