How our brains can get hi-jacked by Dangerous Memes!

This is truely a thought-provoking video.

Philosopher and author Daniel C. Dennett talks in this video about consciousness, and how minds can be controled with ideas.
My favorite part is an antecdote about an ant that gets it's mind hi-jacked by a virus...spooky and eye-opening.
