Short: I have a theorum based on the works of prof. Richard Dawkins. - I need help on creating a better definition & writeing a letter towards prof. R Dawkins.<br><br>- When succesfull, it will provide us with a scientifically basis for PP arguments. Therefore, makeing our opinion a fact.<br>
<br><br><br>"Cultural degeneration" <br><br>Most of us around here know, or at least acknowledge the idea that liveing organism's evolve by many different factors's that eventually effect our DNA etc. etc.<br>
The evolution theorie is a "hot topic" because of religous bias. Right now you might wonder what this has got to do with PP issues.<br>The answer is quite a lot, since our culture also evolves. In fact, it involves our verry being in the most intrinsic way imagineable. It's not just about traditional expression's of culture that we see in the form of art like painting's, music, and film. But it also mutates the way we actually<b> think and act.</b><br>
<br>Dawkin's coined the neologism of "Meme's" describeing the evolution of culture. <br>The wikipedia summary of his theory might describe's his thoughts quite well, there fore I quote:<br><br><i>A <b>meme</b> (pronounced <span title="Pronunciation in the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA)" class="IPA"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:IPA_for_English" title="Wikipedia:IPA for English">/miːm/</a></span>)<sup id="cite_ref-0" class="reference"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meme#cite_note-0" title=""><span>[</span>1<span>]</span></a></sup>
consists of any idea or behavior that can pass from one person to
another by learning or imitation. Examples include thoughts, ideas,
theories, gestures, practices, fashions, habits, songs, and dances.
Memes propagate themselves and can move through the cultural
sociosphere in a manner similar to the contagious behavior of a virus.</i><br> <br>Now that you read this, i hope the same questions's that I have arise in your mind. And i'm even arrogant enought to assume you do since you are a "Pirate".<br>
<br>From a "Biological" point of view copyrights and patent's are almost analog to the engineering of DNA. Therefore manipulateing our way of <b>thinking</b> and <b>acting</b>. Since they effectively limit the borders of our cultural expansion and development. Effectivly stopping our evolution. Hence, limiteing the progress and promotion of art's, science et al.<br>
<br><br>While tinkering with idea's that involve the way people think, and act religion come's into play verry soon. What suprise's me about this, is the fact that most religious people within the political spectrum are heavily against DNA manipulation, but are strongly against "pirates" thus for the manipulation of culture makeing them hypocrit's and irrational being's.<br>
And yet again, i started to think about the works of Dawkin's also the author of documentary's like "The Root of all Evil " And the TED talk about millitant atheism and how religion is corrosive to science and vice versa.<br>
<br>That verry same person also showed the linear equasion between the perception of "Religious importance" and the homo sapiens intellect. This is no longer just theorie, but fact.<br><br>So, in a nutshell, what I see is the following.<br>
<br>Religion <-> Science<br> /patents/<br>Copyright <-> Culture<br><br>It's both corrosive towards each other, yet work in nearly exactly the same way.<br>But what is more important, is the ¨Ethics" that get involved within this discussion, and the same problem's that arrise when discussing either of the subject's.<br>
<br><br>Any help on creating a good writeing about this will be apreciated !<br><br>Arrr,<br><br>Core-TX / Samir Allioui<br>Pirate Party of the Netherlands.<br><br><br>P.S Our Party is NOT going well, and we are in need of a new webhost. ( We have no fundings )<br>
<br>P.S P.S We will vote on the joint declaration, after I have consulted our internal mailinglist.<br><br>P.S P.S P.S Please treat each other as friend's and keep bitching and moaning out of the mailinglist, and continue it in private!<br>
