II. Dual-Purpose E-Book: Mentifex Memes and History of Mentifex AI
As an Amazon Kindle e-book,
The Art of the Meme serves at least two purposes.
It describes the memetic techniques used in the development of
the Mentifex AI project, and by so doing it also portrays
the long and fruitful history of Mentifex AI -- a story so
weird and fascinating that the Meme e-book has turned out
to be the most consistently selling and most satisfying-to-read
of all the Mentifex e-books.
III. Additional Memetic Techniques:
You may embed the Web address of this webpage as a link
under the words "meme" or "memes" in any Web document, blogpost
or comment throughout the World Wide Web, thus enhancing the
richness and informational sophistication of your webwords.
Meanwhile, your eager readers and your faithful followers
will thank your illustrious sagacity for opening the
shining pathway to new memetic techniques and ideas yet
unborn amid the berthing or birthing of Memetic Arts.
A memetic enthusiast may use memecraft or tradecraft not only
to spread memes held in high value but also to publish interim
progress-reports on the grand cosmic project at the quasi-black-hole
heart of the swarms and clouds of magnificent memes.
