Not if they have duplicates among the existing memetic load.

Yeah, I guess it's possible to shoehorn any sort of "struggle" into the idea of "violence," but I think doing so waters down the concept of violence to the point of uselessness. |

Re: Is video game violence memetic?
Violence is struggle coupled with a judgment call about its usefulness.
It's like assertive vs. aggressive. The same actions are called one when done by some but the other when done by others. We're humans and are incapable of pure objective thinking. Video games are purely lights and pixels. Their only existence is by way of our interpretation.

There needs to be laws and enforcement with a form of punishment. However, this question about memetic transmission has some problems with it. I do not believe in memetics therefore I would consider myself to be immune to memes. If doing research on memes how could you protect yourself from their influence. That is a form of observer affect but this case the observer is affected by the study. How can someone study memes without themselves being 'infected'? Is there a dememunisation facilities. The sort of can you 'unknow' what you know now? |

I study history, so to me wars are nasty things and some methods of fighting are not so great. However, that is what was done does not answer why they were doing it. So we keep looking and we find themes etc. However, there is the raw data, but how it is presented would mean an observer to detect that is the person violent to begin with and are they more violent at the end. Are persons not so violent etc, become violent. Is there a progression of violence, are some games better at transmission than others. Somewhere the researchers are going to be infected by these dangerous memes. Cannot it be undone, can video game niceness produce the opposite affect? Are memes transmitted by: Touch (excluding physical harm) Sight (including reading) Sound Smell Taste How do memes spread through which vectors in the best way. Once infected would the subject not not want to be infected. The have a demonstrably mememtic superiority. Moreover, some memes would be viewed in order of beneficial hierarchy? Some studies have pointed out that management are psychos and have their classic traits. So people with the memes of video game violence may be used as better management, whilst 'mine craft memes' are better workers. |
