ME ME MEME
Sumerian myth talks about "me" that were gifts of Enki. A "me" is both technolgy and theoretical understanding, like music "me" would be both a saxophone and the knowledge of how to play it, write music, arrange it etc. A skill or 'cultural competance' given by a god. There are over one hundred "me" described in Sumerian writings; scribship, leather working and smith work are a few.

Mind virus
The "me" were transmitted by "Nam Shub" communications with curious properties. All Nam Shub have common characteristics. They are recursive, each contains a description of itself, and contain prophecy of what will happen and instructions, which must be carried out to cause it. Just like proteins do in the body's cellular level nformation processsing
The Nam Shub mind viruses, transmit "me." The famous "Nam Shub of Enki," is said to have shattered the universal language at the tower of Babel.
Why break up the universal language ?
Languages are cultural operating systems, and if there's one OS all mankind runs on, then we're all vulnerable to any evil mind virus an ill disposed entity might inflict on us. For example, a 'Lethal Text' Nam Shub.

‘Quite simply, the lethal text is a text that, when read, renders the reader incapable of reading. It destroys the reader’s mind, inducing a crippling insanity. Only those who have read a lethal text know what it says… but they are in no position to share their knowledge.’
Once upon a time, there was no snake, there was no scorpion,
There was no hyena, there was no lion,
There was no wild dog, no wolf,
There was no fear, no terror,
Man had no rival.
In those days, the land Shubur-Hamazi,
Harmony-tongued Sumer, the great land of the me of princeship,
Uri, the land having all that is appropriate,
The land Martu, resting in security,
The whole universe, the people well cared for,
To Enlil in one tongue gave speech.
Then the lord defiant, the prince defiant, the king defiant,
Enki, the lord of abundance, whose commands are trustworthy,
The lord of wisdom, who scans the land,
The leader of the gods,
The lord of Eridu, endowed with wisdom,
Changed the speech in their mouths, put contention into it,
Into the speech of man that had been one.
Example of Nam Shub in our era. Woman have been programmed into an unconscious conviction that diamonds are, and love should be, eternal. So powerful is this programming (and the pressure of conformity)every civilized woman expects a diamond engagement ring

This is very powerful programming. Diamonds are Forever programming was the work of the master cult programmer Edward Bernays - Sigmund Freud's nephew.

Programmed beliefs, become unconscious convictions most of us never question These conditioned beliefs are what imprison us, and will continue to do so until we recognze them for what they are the unconsidered "facts" that everybody know and no one thinks about. Blends of images and sounds, in entertainment and news ("Diamonds are Forever") are engineered to exploit our cognitive blind spots .
The future is not delivered to us. We have to choose it. If we don't it is chosen for us and we remain slaves.
