Nietzche and Richard Dawkins Memes

We are Nil to the Infinite Universe.

Nietzche had this concept of truth and what truth is.

What is truth?

I mean to me truth is an answer to something that we long for but why long for it when that absence of truth is a the same as faith. Why do we search for the unknown to seek a higher meaning to ourselves? Ideally we seek for what's in our minds and not the full truth, like a metaphor thats not even remotely realistic outside of our own pre made preconceptions so in essence we will never reach those ideals. Our humanistic instincts tell us one thing while our brains rationalize and try to make use of what we can understand, that which we cannot understand is left in somewhat of a lacking feeling. Then we try to tell others of whatever monotony we've discovered as if they themselves would understand what we've been through and understand within ourselves.

It doesn't work that way. Like in old Buddhist texts we are each created within our own universes to fulfill. Yet we will never see the same and understand what each has been through because we will never experience the sensation no matter if we map out the incident to the precise details each person will never fully understand one another/

"What you see with your eyes is not the truth for it will disappear the moment it is touched." which is entirely true. Once that truth is reached... then what? It's just replaced with another and another and another till we die. Truth is looked upon as perfection because it is ultimately unattainable so you begin to loose yourself into the means with quick acceptance and negotions to move on to the next item on the list.

:Book should read The Lucifer Principle by Howard Bloom, over scientific views on society and how we are what we are through time and etc.

Richard Dawkins and Memes

Honestly I have no idea what a meme was so I wiki'd it and well it said "The Spread of ideas and cultural phenomenon" and in class we talked about the big groups that set these off like the notorious 2chan and 4 chan.

"Internet meme" refers to a catchphrase or concept that spreads rapidly from person to person via the internet, largely through email, blogs, forums, social networking sites and instant messaging. " Which is half the stuff on the internet as is in the first place lik our conversations in class Lolcats and etc which is really quick and short and catches the viewer with humor or disgust. I understand the concept that its somewhat like a viral, yet i don't find most of the more popular memes to be even funny, let alone interesting.
