Here's one of those talks that can change your view of the world forever. Starting with the deceptively simple story of an ant, Dan Dennett unleashes a dazzling sequence of ideas, making a powerful case for the existence of "memes" -- a term coined by Richard Dawkins for mental concepts that are literally alive and capable of spreading from brain to brain. On the way, look out for:
+ a powerful one-sentence secret of happiness
+ a compelling insight into terrorists' motivation
+ a chilling view of Islam
And just when you think you know where the talk's heading, it dramatically shifts direction and questions some of western culture's fundamental assumptions.
This. Is. Unmissable.

I like you disagree with Dennett's view on things. Especially the fluke-nature, I didn't laugh at that joke in the vid lol.
I do laugh however at a compelling insight into terrorists' motivation
& a chilling view of Islam.
Namely the orchestration of the false flag operations that are disguised as terrorist and attacks and the 'war on terror' that has nothing to do with terrorists but with an elite of conspiratorial assholes trying to kill the constitution and take the freedoms away of sheepish people to form a perfectly controlled global police state.
Thanks for listening :p
