Bringing it up?

Consider the Source.
Mine not me.
Usually such headings and opening lines would be a self deprecating if not journalistic attention getting misdirection. But in this case, they are a direct reference to the links which I have only briefly scanned and I simply post them for later digestion, if not comment. Their sources, and the fact that I have heard their memes through my filters, is the reason I have selected them.

"Freedom is not a force, but thoughts are not just memes."
(The above is brought up from Consider the Source and I have been replying separately and only update the third for purposes of more digging.)
Meanwhile, I will say that beyond monopsony and my so-called memory, the little knowledge is what passed my filter as a meme. A "quaint" saying I had ran with earlier if not in these posts. "If a little knowledge is dangerous, just what is more?" Of course I hope this is the demonstration of my D-eliteness, but is not then a little knowledge the point and their4 a great weapon? That may be how some think.
