I gotta write a science fiction story about some astronauts who visited a planet that once had intelligent life, but then it invented memes, and then it didn't have intelligent life anymore.

This blog post reminded me of that because it shows the mimetic mindset unable to understand anything (say Ben Franklin) being anything other than memes. The next stage past free speech activism is that they're going to have to force people to listen to them.
