We watch these pilots going through their rituals before taking off on their flight of death. Think of the poor suicide pilot as a symbol of the kamikaze meme. The bomb laden plane would be like the brain that carries the deadly meme. In the real world, our brains carry many ideas that are harmful to us. Whether we know about them or not, these lethal ideas are still kamikaze memes.
Smoking is a good case to use to learn more about kamikaze memes.
Most of us know that smoking can kill us. Still a lot of people can't kick the habit. Too bad most of these memes don't come with a Surgeon General's Warning printed on them. Of course, memicide is where some meme comes along and kills all its hosts. We've seen too many cases of these cults that take the lives of all their members.
