[from {meme}] The study of memes. As of early 2003, this is still an
extremely informal and speculative endeavor, though the first steps
towards at least statistical rigor have been made by H. Keith Henson
and others. Memetics is a popular topic for speculation among
hackers, who like to see themselves as the architects of the new
information ecologies in which memes live and replicate.
