Memes : Viruses of the brain

Dan Dennett talks about ideas as mental viruses. He presents a very interesting idea: "The secret of happiness: Find something more important than you are and dedicate your life to it.". He speaks lucidly on why modern western society is a threat to fundamentalist Islamic and other traditional cultures. Dennett is one of the primary philosophers of our time, he is absolutely brillian, a great pity this talk is so short (15 minutes) he deservers at least an hour for this topic... I really need to get around to reading a few of his books.
