Imagine a meme, any meme...an idea, a prevailing thought, a tendril of systematic processes in the mind, guided by genes, focused by tendencies of the cultural being and sentience of humanity. If a particularly powerful meme becomes embodied into several other memes, we call this a Meme-Complex. "A set of mutually-assisting memes which have co-evolved a symbiotic relationship. Religious and political dogmas, social movements, artistic styles, traditions and customs, chain letters, paradigms, languages, etc. are meme-complexes. Also called an m-plex, or scheme" (Hofstadter).

If a meme-pool is the total and absolute availability of memes in any culture, than the Meme-complex is a bubble in the pool, like the primordial soup of our biological creation, the Meme-complex can be a driver for evolutionary principles in cultural genetics. New memes have to compete in already established strongholds of Meme-complexes. I often equate intellectual ability to the ability to establish yourself in a meme-pool with a higher number of memes assimilated than other people caught in Meme-complexes. Like Nietzsche's "overman" a greater soul exists in these pools. These are the Memetic Engineers. The manipulators and creators of new memes. Destroying and rebuilding older more estabablished Meme-complexes with the purity of blinding enlightenment and dynamic progression in thought.

In America, because of the massively large meme-pool, we have the potential to be the greatest producer of memetic engineers. We also have the most potent Meme-complex next to Islamic fundamentalism, what I lovingly call from this point forward The Darkness, or Christianity. This Meme-complex is buried deep into the fabric of our society. The tendrils of the Darkness weave and embed into every conscience mind in western society, from the good in our primitive morality to the unrelenting bad, the stranglehold on intellectualism and rational thought. The Darkness has the potential to destroy opposing Meme-complexes and eradicate immediately potential newcomers. An idea that challenges the sanctity of Man based monotheism so strictly adhered to in the Darkness is tantamount to unforgivable blasphemy and persecution in the meme-pool. Leaders of the country believe those that do no believe are not worthy of citizenship, the country will not vote for a non-belever in political office, and they cannot see non-believers or for better definition, non-infected, as morally capable. Long after most reasonable men and women would shed themselves of the image of a mastermind creator, tooth fairy, or santa claus, these people bitterly and willingly sacrifice their only lives for the potential of unearned immortal glory. Those who are of the different meme-complex, mostly those that encompass more of the trillions of memes in the meme-pool, are at unbalanced disadvantage. Perhaps they represent the most intelligent in society, the most versatile, the most moral, the most ethical, and the most spirited, but the masses are unrelenting, the Darkness possesses a horde of unimaginable power and unrelenting conviction. They are armed with smug sciolism and rampant unwillingness to reason.

These people take your life, your only life, as the cost of something unknowable, something unattainable, for the profit and internal sanctity of lazy minds of the most massive meme-complex.
