YouTube Videos

There are many good YouTube videos illustrating the psychopathology of bad memes, which rather than accumulating too many of them here, they're found in a companion MindVirusMemes YouTube account. Once you see a few you understand there's a common thread, and it's due to the bad memes they're believers in. So far there is no cure.

Thanks to Dr. Wayne Dyer

Contemporary American guru Wayne Dyer teaches people how to attract abundance and make the most of their lives. He grew up in an orphanage and was the richest kid there, always finding ways to bring abundance to his life. His message is all about personal spiritual growth and that's of course where it all begins. But his principles also apply to more harmful and dangerous memes, like the ugly ways of thinking that brought about the nuclear arms race and the Cold War among other things. Many of the most harmful memes are interrelated and can be best described as 'conservative' or 'right-wing' thinking. Whether they invoke aboriginal concepts of ritual cannibalistic religion or not they nearly all adhere to the worst memes generated by traditionally pathological versions of Christianity. An eye for an eye. The wrath of God. Holy wars, lately including the latest conflicts in the Muslim world. For when these concepts are uncriticially swallowed whole, pathology results. Such pathologies are often observed as outpourings of hate, fear, and paranoia with marked absences of empathy, compassion, conscience, or any other genuine Christian values. Minds so infected by ugly memes are capable of psychopathic actions like rationalizing torture, advocating war, denying health care to their fellow countrymen, and supporting tax cuts for the rich, for just a few examples. Such infections of the mind are so common in modern life they can actually threaten the integrity of American values and undermine the Constitution, doing far greater damage to America than Al Qaeda or any other foreign terrorist group could ever hope for. But we are entering a new age of understanding where bad memes are being recognized for the psychopathology that they are, and hopefully the time will soon come when afflicted people can be cured. For now the important thing is to recognize and defend oneself and one's country against attacks of various kinds by those afflicted with insanity brought on by bad memes.
