A link in a comment by neuronaut led me to The Digital Falcon, a digest of occult-related articles. Some interesting stuff there, even for a skeptic.
The DF site, in turn, led me to Key 23, another occult site with some interesting material.
In case you're, ya know, interested in that kind of stuff. ;)
This in particular, from K23, struck me:
On this dusty battlefield arms cross and clash and blood spills
relentlessly as the insects wage memetic warfare against each other,
vying for dominance in the humble noosphere of the human species. The
prevailing memetic deities know the power of human belief and know that
it’s the only way they can survive and become real. We surround
ourselves with great technological extrusions, vast webworks of
creations all manifest from within our minds, from within the sea of
ideation, imagination. Whatever we believe in most is what will come to
pass. The great struggles now pitched and fought rising towards a
seeming apocalypse are being waged by thousand year old mythologies
still gripping our consciousness and infecting our minds. Priests and
politicians cunningly invest in their powers while common folk give
their lives in servitude, like capsids bursting to perpetuate the viral
progeny. When the scorecard is read, whatever deified memeplex has the
most ardent believers, that’ll be the one that writes our story.
True in the macro sense described above, but also in the microcosms of our daily, interconnected lives.
