Brainstorm together and create the next meme waveform right now. Get the culture molding back in our hands and have the cultural engeneeirs lined up to purchase this new style from us. We can be the creators and the originators, and knowledge holders of the first of this meme mutation and it could be anything we want it to be. Where shall we start and how should we control the market for it? Start taking the money back from the monopolizers of war and death profiteering, and create a new culture thats positivley ready to become a self transforming meme machine oraganistic culture that spirals out of their reach into a positive shift. We need an idea, a vision, some funding and we already have the universe on our side so.... What hasn't been done yet? that remains unbecome, unmanifested lying dormant awaiting its resurrection to lead the future generations.

First: memetics, the study of memes, is content-neutral. It is the study of information flow without necessarily regarding the meaning of that information. So when you use the term "we", you have to determine who exactly "we" is, and just what message it is you want to propagate.
Second, there are already plenty of people doing just what you describe quite successfully, only without calling it "memetic engineering". These are advertisers, public relations firms, writers, think tanks, and the like. As you allude to, there are many who use this ability for nefarious purposes.
Certainly the study of memetics can provide insight into better ways of changing culture, in particular by researching how people have been successful in the past. One question is how to get an idea out with only limited resources. Political think tanks receive millions from corporations to promote their agendas. It can be a David v. Goliath struggle. -

Re: a new culture
Sun, October 7, 2007 - 10:46 PMI almost read that as "chaotic-neutral". Which it almost is as well as being content neutral.
memetic propagation is not my field of research in terms of memes. If I had a name for what my interest in memes is it would be
"memetic social construct phenomena".
If I could get a degree in that, and have a job waiting at the other side of it I would. But, I think most jobs would end up being in marketing research and I'm terrible at hawking products no matter how awesome they might be.

Dark Power: Pigment seems to put radiation to good use
by Davide Castelvecchi
Call them the Hulk bugs. Just as they do for the comic book hero, gamma rays seem to make certain microscopic fungi stronger. Researchers have found hints that melanin—the same pigment that's the natural ultraviolet filter in people's skin—might enable these fungi to harness the energy of gamma radiation as well as to shield themselves from it.
