“Bemes are fundamental, transmissible, mutate-able units of beingness very much in the spirit of memes[1]. The difference is that memes are culturally transmissible elements that have common cultural meanings whereas bemes are highly individual elements of personality, mannerisms, feelings, recollections, beliefs, values, and attitudes.

We humans are much more accurately described by our intellectual uniqueness than by our genetic codes. Cyronics is itself based on beme revival as opposed to gene revival. Ultimately, common sets of bemes will be the base for a new species definition. Today, we define our species based on genetics or DNA. Because we can reproduce by commingling genes: We are moving towards reproducing by the commingling of our bemes and this will give rise to a new speices, which I would like to call Persona Creatus.”

A very intriguing article here, in the online ‘Journal of Personal Cyberconciousness’ by Martine Rothblatt, Ph.D., discussing the recording of ‘bemes’ as a (theoretical, at the moment) process of preserving your ’self’.
