Can there really be a thing like best idea in the world?

We all need Variation, Selection and Heredity. With these 3 we can create evolution. If something is copied with variation and selected then you must have the design appearing. Any information that is varied and selected is called design. Everything is replicated.

Information we copy from person to person through talking, walking, doing something. This is how we replicate designs. It's important to stick with definations because alot of problems can be solved when we stick to definations.

Meme is not a information/design/you and me etc. It's about copying/passing it from person to person. Why do memes spread? Is it good, beautiful ?

A random memes like earphones, people don't design the earphones, they just went out and buy it because they needed it. Toilet paper is spread all over the world.
Memes are all copys of something. Human beings are the main machine. We alone is a meme machines.

All humans in this world are genes machines and meme machines. Genes machines turns the memes into memes machine. Memes is dangerous. Memes are using us to create more stuff. Memes are spreading because they must. It's like Memes are some evil mastermind of replicating. It's like using humans to create because we create memes by making babies.

From the talk i remembered the show Irobot where AI was created and it sort of took over the world. Like it no longer needs the help of human beings. From the video i can see her point saying that memes is dangerous. Everything around us is memes. like bottles, books, laptops, Tvs, Handphone. Everything even ourselves. Like how i am so adapted to this world that if you want me to travel back in time to live there i probably wouldn't know what to do. Everything is different. Well i agree that memes is dangerous, but i believe that we can overcome the memes. How so? I don't know but everything is created out of nothing so we can definately think of something. Like Electricity was created and it becomes the world's greatest invention. Just imagine the world without electricity. We could probably use candles. Just an alternatives i believe but we would not have school anymore because our course requires the use of laptops which requires electricity. Now i can really see the danger in it but we just can't help it.
