Each human in more or less specialized due to his profession. So it happens that in specific discussions, there are always people lacking the specific background information. In theory it's possible to acquire the information but de facto jobs with high amount of working hours prevent that from happening. Free time is more likely spend on social activities, fitness and entertainment. | |||
OCs on the other hand, have more free time and can acquire expertise almost in an instant. They are like walking libraries of specific Wikipedia pages and share these in an instant. Gais separates facts from bias before forwarding and caching the information. That way, over time more and more purified knowledge is available for everyone. Neurological repairs and enhancement ensure the IQ and mental fitness required for complex information even up to the old age. Everyone can become an expert in any field. | |||
Direct democracy gets less and less flawed by individuals foreign to a specific topic or opinions formed in cracker-barrel groups. | |||
The Gaia AI actively researches the causes of [[wikipedia:The_Wisdom_of_Crowds#Failures_of_crowd_intelligence|wrong decisions]] and starts in new areas only with fully supervised seed groups. | |||

A meme is basically a thought and superficial explained in analogy to genes. They can be created, copied, altered, deleted and can experience some kind of evolution within individuals and societies. If you keep comparing memes with genes, most children get their knowledge and believe from their parents, teachers and other, older authorial and/or charismatic persons which resembles vertical gene transfer while adapting memes from friends or "brothers in mind" ("Brüder im Geiste") resemble horizontal gene transfer. Since not all memes are passed from one person to another and don't keep the same, they can be seen to | A meme is basically a thought and superficial explained in analogy to genes.

The Damocles sword within: Information of ERVs and other viral elements can cause damage but also help immune responses. Viral memes (in sense of not agreeing with but occupying space within the host) are more successful in spreading than their biological counterpart but also get less expressed. Their analysis can be used e.g. in a discussion to formulate arguments that stand against the hostile-felt meme standing in analogy to a biological immune response. | The Damocles sword within: Information of ERVs and other viral elements can cause damage but also help immune responses.

In the early years, lobbyism was identified as major danger for self-preservation of Biocracies and hence prohibited. Also, all advertisements must contain true information. | ||
Memehunters are so to say police officers fighting memetic corruption and investigate it causes. The very most of them are SLD or Omega-Chimera. | Memehunters are so to say police officers fighting memetic corruption and investigate it causes. The very most of them are SLD or Omega-Chimera. | ||

Societies not agreeing with their biocratic neighbors were tragically attacked and destroyed by memehunters. | ||
Memehunters possess the power to alter the mind of other people and execute the will of Biocracies against its own members or those of other societies. To achieve their missions they are given access to GAIA resources, which dramatically boosts their physical and mental abilities. The Bioc grid supports them with just everything and can even backup their personality making them immortal. | Memehunters possess the power to alter the mind of other people and execute the will of Biocracies against its own members or those of other societies.

A matured Biocracy has no use of memehunters since all members live in total sync and will be made aware of any error causing or "false" thoughts. Rogue memehunters are officially to be taken down but this remains a difficult task as they tend to build their own planetary support systems. So the biocracies turn a blind eye against them if they stay in exile. | A matured Biocracy has no more use of memehunters since all members live in total sync and will be made aware of any error causing or "false" thoughts.
