[edit] Memethics

Neologism for new philosophy. Google brings up only 19 unique hits for it, none of them including the names of the philosophers who supposedly inspired it. [1]. Willmcw 22:20, July 20, 2005 (UTC) PS The article on Nathan Braun, an activist/writer/philosopher/theologian/ethicist in his mid-20s, was written by the same editor. It says, "He founded memethics, the art and science of analyzing ethical and moral ideas, though it is not an academically-regonized discipline." [sic] If even the editor/subject(?) admits that it is un-"regonized", who are we to change that? -Willmcw 23:12, July 20, 2005 (UTC)

Delete. There is nothing notable or exceptionable about someone inventing a word. The topic itself goes back to Plato. KSchutte 02:20, 22 July 2005 (UTC)

suggest not delete, but limit access to the page. the field will eventually spawn something. might as well keep it in to allow for documentation of the fields growth. (this writer suggest memethics could encompass fields such as racism and other "isms"/humor/hate/love/anthropology/social dynamics/information exchange/...ect)
