The idea of "Frames" and "Framing" seems to closely parallel that of "memes". He points out how, when an idea is repeated, it is reinforced in the mind -that is, the actual neurological connections are made stronger. He also discusses how decision-making is primarily an emotional process. Are you familiar with George Lakoff’s work, such as Don’t Think of an Elephant or The Political Mind?

A great place to study these memes seems to be StumbleUpon, where you can click through about thirty in as many seconds :) This makes perfect sense, but I’ve never thought about its relation when competing memes exist.
