"Certainly almost everything we do and think is colored in some way by memes, but it is important to realize that not everything we experience is a meme. If I walk down the street and see a tree, the basic perception that's going on is not memetic"

- Susan Blackmore

About this Quote

This quote by Susan Blackmore recommends that although memes play a big function in our lives, they are not the only factor that influences our ideas and actions. She is saying that although memes might form our experiences, there are still some things that are not memetic. For example, if we stroll down the street and see a tree, the fundamental understanding of the tree is not memetic. This recommends that although memes are effective, they are not the only thing that forms our experiences. We still have our own private thoughts and perceptions that are not always influenced by memes. This quote highlights the importance of recognizing that not whatever we experience is a meme, which we must know our own private ideas and perceptions.
