THC 113: Philip Farber | Understanding Invocation & Evocation Magick
Memetic Entities, Richard Dawkins and Information Spread
The concept of memetic entities is introduced as the study of how information spreads similarly to genetic material. Farber references Richard Dawkins, the creator of the term "meme," noting the irony that a prominent atheist provided the framework for understanding how "memeplexes" or informational entities function. These entities are described as the sum total of the information and beliefs that compose them.
