Is this why the United States has the best education in the world?

I would say that memetics would be an incredibly important area of study. It may sound silly, but studying the transfer of ideas and information can shed insight into various areas. For example:
>Similarities in various mythologies.
A lot of ideas and stories in the Christian Bible and various other religious texts can be traced back to older religions. One could say that creation myths were the oldest memes of them all. Perhaps the study of modern-day memetics could shed some additional light as to how these stories transferred between cultures.

He's not wrong

Teaching it in a sociology degree I could understand, but as it own course? Fuck no.

Imagine trying to get a job with that on your resumè.

Even if someone had double majored and the other was a useful degree, I'd still throw their CV in the trash the second I saw a degree in Memes.

not so fast yank scum

Memes are a powerful to reach the masses, everybody likes cheap and retarded memes that appeal to them, look at Trump.

Without the appeal of many memes on the internet his younger underage userbase would be nonexistent.

>Memes are a powerful tool to reach the masses

Look also at Hillary's case, she tried to use memes and failed hard because her group didn't know how to appeal with memes in the right way to it's audience.

memes used correctly can help control the minds of the masses by shaping opinions, views, and so on

Can I get credit for prior experience? I've spent enough time on imageboards to quality as an expert.
