More on "memes"

Here's a short, yet fascinating talk with Daniel Dennett. He discusses the idea of memes and what they are and how they work (much more clearly than I can). Dan Dennett is a prominent American Philospher and a Professor at Tufts University. He's also one of the most engaging and interesting speakers that I've ever seen.

This talk is part of "TED Talks" (www.ted.com). They define themselves as "Inspired talks by the world's greatest thinkers and doers", and here's one of those rare cases where the promise matches the content. You can find many of their talks online, on their website and on Youtube.
