Memetic Hazard: a memetic construct or complex that is capable of displacing rational thought processes* with memetic responses and which can result in actual harm to a person, group, or society.
Memetic thought: thought processes which cannot be fully mapped as a set of logical axioms and which rely upon fallacies or other non-rational memetic constructs for all or part of the progression from a starting point to a conclusion. A host for memetic thought processes uses memetic constructs and complexes preferentially to any other thought processes.
Rational thought: thought processes which can be mapped out as a set of connected logical axioms from one or more starting points to one or more conclusions and which contain no fallacies.
