memetic engineering

Sustainability is a hot button topic right now. Almost every country has shown some interest in getting involved with the sustainability movement at the risk of being looked at as wasteful and environmentally unfriendly. Even the US government has begun backtracking on their previously denying of global warming. But what is sustainability really? Many people associate sustainability with being green however that is only one small part of the total picture.

According to hhavensteincw over at Slashdot, there’s a new Google Bomb campaign to get liberal bloggers to associate John McCain with a number of posts and articles that highlight “ugly” things about the Republican Presidential candidate:

Memetic engineering is a term developed by three individuals; Leveious Rolando, John Sokol, and Gibran Burchett while they researched and observed the behavior of humans after being purposely exposed (knowingly and unknowingly) to certain memetic themes. The term is based on Richard Dawkins theory of memes.

I am so fascinated by the concept of memetic engineering that I scored the domain name, memeticengineer.com. So, I would love to share with you some examples of what people are saying about memetic engineering.

The Memetic Engineers are the newest--and most unusual--of the
Methodologies in the Technocracy. They are masters of a special form of
thought-crafting. They study ideas, concepts, and beliefs as living
beings: autonomous creatures capable of evolution and mutation. Via Totse

In the late 50's, an amalgam of New World Order technomancers
latched onto an experimental theory known as Cybernetics. This theory

Memetic engineering consists of the process of developing memes,
through meme-splicing and memetic synthesis, with the intent of
altering the behavior of others. It consists of the process of creating
and developing theories or ideologies based on an analytical study of
societies, their ways of thinking and the evolution of the minds that
comprise them. Attempts at Artificial Meme-Phrase Creation have not met
with noted success, though apocryphal stories tell of the putative
origins of these sorts of memes.

JD, over at the Small Wars Council, wants to know if anyone has "applied memetics to military operations" and also if "fighting ideas with ideas" is possible to do with memetics.

The study of memes and their social effects.
