www.ted.com/index.php/talks/view/id/116The last video (first if you're clicking in order) I'll show from the TED conference. This is on memes. This is a powerful video about ideas. I recommend it to everyone. Skip the climate video. This is probably a more evolutionary approach to what we covered in "Wizard's First Rule" "It's ideas, not worms, that hijack our brains" The section about "ideas to die for" should be a reminder to all of us here. We're not doing silly little things, but as we remain serious in our will to influence others through fiction and other means, we must always watch our words and thoughts that pass through, unsaid, but understood, into everything we create. In essense, remember, we are creating memes. There are dangerous memes, but in order to create a positive impact, we must create positive memes. This a very basic way to look at it of course, but imperitive to understand. Here is a wiki on memes if you want to read it as well: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meme
