Memetics
Understand Thought Contagions
$0.99 · Designed for iPad
Discover the science of memetics - the revolutionary field that explains how ideas spread like viruses through society, influencing your beliefs without your awareness. Ever wondered why certain trends go viral while others fade? Why some ideologies persist for centuries? The answer lies in memetic theory, a discipline most have never heard of yet governs everything from brand preferences to political beliefs. This app has no ads, no account creation, no data collection, no fluff just straight to the education.
Memetics reveals how cultural replicators - memes - compete for space in your mind using sophisticated propagation mechanisms and cognitive hooks. These invisible forces shape your worldview more profoundly than most realize.
This comprehensive reference app equips you with:
- In-depth exploration of memetic theory foundations established by Richard Dawkins, Daniel Dennett, and Susan Blackmore
- Interactive flashcards to master key terminology and concepts
- Complete dictionary of memetic terms from "cognitive hooks" to "information cascades"

Part of our Modern Thinking series designed for an AI-driven world, Memetics provides essential knowledge for navigating our information landscape. Understanding memetic selection, transmission vectors, and memeplexes isn't just academic - it's your defense against manipulation and pathway to more conscious idea adoption.
