Related questions are, What is a meme, memeplex,
mind, collectiveMind?
A meme is a cognitive virus that breeds via repetition.
Symbolic expressions are its outer form & ideas, beliefs, etc
are its inner form.
A memeplex is an integrated self-reinforcing network of
memes, for example 'modernism' & 'Hinduism' are two memeplexes.
A mind is a memetic ecosystem where memes & memeplexes
compete for dominance. The ego / personality is the 'mainstream'
memeplex.
When minds communicate they interlink & form a
multidimensional socioCognitive landscape - a larger memetic
ecosystem - a collectiveMind.
When the ideas that we think come filtered through our
socialNetworks we are experiencing reality through the lens of the
collectiveMind.
When we share ideas with others we are contributing to the
reality experienced by the collectiveMind.
Culture is collectiveIntelligence in action.
