Willkommen in der Antimemetik-Abteilung! Ein Antimeme ist eine Idee, die sich selbst zensiert – ein Gedanke, der von Natur aus verhindert, dass Menschen ihn mit anderen teilen wollen oder können. Passwörter zum Beispiel fallen ebenso darunter wie schmutzige Geheimnisse, komplexe mathematische Gleichungen, langweilige Geschichten, zufällige Zahlenkombinationen oder der Inhalt Ihrer Träume. Das sind normale Antimemes. Anomale Antimemes hingegen sind eine ganze andere Sache.
