Dan Dennett : les dangereux mèmes

Ideas can take over minds much like parasites commandeer an ant, driving behaviors that serve causes beyond individual survival. From religious devotion to political conviction, people often dedicate their lives to concepts that outlast and override genetic interests. These powerful memes replicate from brain to brain, shaping cultures and even risking the extinction of traditions. As technology accelerates their spread, some ideas uplift while others threaten, making it crucial to understand their impact.
