We will examine one very important metric that seems often overused and incomparably misunderstood, not only by the layman sector but by those who consider themselves our peers. Disregard much of the mistaken hype you've absorbed, which surrounds the function of memes and their capacity to influence the structure of reality in accordance with one's conscious efforts.
Internet memes, the demonstrative source of children's online education. The most detrimental thing on the transparent white web doesn’t relegate itself to porn. It might keep some teens out of the sack until their late 20s or early 30s from all the vomit-inducing visual trauma, but a far more insidious evil lurks online. Everybody knows about Internet memes, but it seems less likely that the average cadaver knows about Dawkinsian memes, which we must assume embodies the unintended purpose of hijacking joke pictures and labeling them "memes" in the first place.
They perform like memes, but by no means should memetics remain limited to punchline drops and motivational macros.
Many meme magnates offer a wealth of theoretical insights into various sorcerous technologies, but most fall short in practical applications and succumb to the auto-toxic fallacy that memetics, as a subject, has set up like a rake in the yard left for us to step on and get smacked in the face.
Information safeguards itself against retardation through cognitive subterfuge, reverse engineering (prevarication by proxy), and the inherent predictability of human error. Disinformation embodies a virulent form of data exchange that many among the populace have lapped up like thirsty little pups.
The concept of the Dawkinsian meme serves as a monumental analogy to the word "gene," where we have heritable patterns on the one hand, with genetics, and transmissible datasets on the other, with memetics. It seems appropriate to view the proliferation of memes as the explicit conversion of sociotypical communicability, even though memes act as heritable patterns without requiring such things as fluid exchange, proximity to the potential host replicant, or revealing the infection strategies used by memeticists.
Apparently, Richard Dawkins remains bothered enough by getting overlooked in pop culture to resort to vermin-grade sycophancy in order to appear as an influencer by any means. He should eat his feces in a bowl with mold-ridden cocoa pebbles and sour oat milk, which we'd watch a few times and throw him a like. Perhaps leave him a comment, such as a favored quote from the Qur'an or an obscure hadith, that would prompt a reply to further expose his Islamophobic gibbering.
Certainly, other times in history have existed when dangerous information got quietly removed from common parlance by oligarchs, aristocrats, royalty, or the military, to the extent that people forgot the origin of the lexical item or idiom. Not that we think some mind-controlling cabal forces us to remain as ignorant as possible about transmissible data (memetics) and things that go viral (in terms of memetics that exist beyond the imitative 'creativity' of recycled punchlines). Still, we find it equally comedic and horrifying how these things tend to work themselves out.
Memes embody contagious information patterns that replicate by symbiotically infecting human minds and altering their behavior, causing them to propagate the pattern. Typical memes include slogans, catchphrases, melodies, icons, inventions, and fashions. But memes may also reside within lyrics, jokes, slang words, terminology, postures, handshakes, smells, tastes, or even flirting techniques. An idea or information pattern gets considered a meme once it causes someone to replicate it or repeat it, and infect other people.
So, the memetics of memes represent potent elements of occultural interaction. How often have we unwittingly replicated someone else's overheard or overseen meme (like intellectual property or trademarks) and turned ourselves into a walking advertisement for a random stranger's idea, buzzword, manner of speech, walking cadence, hairstyle, or some other recreatable expression? A memeplex embodies a multimodal egregore comprising a set of mutually assisting memes that have co-evolved in a symbiotic relationship. Religious and political dogmas, social movements, artistic styles, traditions, customs, chain letters, paradigms, languages, and so on all embody examples of memeplexes.
Our inherent natures as humans force us to heap meaning upon every mediocre spate of information or credulous scrap of cultural fodder cursed with the unfortunate trajectory to pass through our radar fields.
A quote, a number, a sign, a lyric --- these things remain part and parcel of the theater of apophenia that rolls out stats, pareidolia, and probabilities like so much proverbial red carpet for our fragile, trauma-ridden psyches. American culture gets so thoroughly mimicked the world over as American culture represents a nonchalantly psychedelic mindfuck rollercoaster funhouse mosh pit that undermines our ontological grasp of the visceral form and substance of our dialectic behavioral patterns.
Lament the surrealists and situationists as multimedia continues to multi-mediate us further and further from rites of passage that afford us our solitary experience of reality—an experience that provides the opportunity to generate profoundly enthralling Unverified Personal Gnosis, enabling us not to rely solely on fake-it-til-you-make-it survival tactics.
This leaves us with a model for memes that contains a simulacrum of clones, end-sequences, and unnecessary mapping data that one can envision as the genomeme. We continue to reiterate that memes represent culturally transmissible units of imitation, which reproduce asexually from one synaptic manifold to the next through our perceptual stimulus apparatuses (vision, audition, gustation, olfaction, or somatosensory modalities such as tactition, thermoception, nociception, equilibrioception, and proprioception), and this duplication process allows memes to promote their existence.
Memes strike us as more contagious than malignantly mutated measles; they seem just as easily contracted in their obtuse, abstract forms as in their acute, categorical forms. We require direct observation to contract a meme, but we do not require direct comprehension.
One doesn't have to appreciate the meme they pass on to continue sharing it. Think of the telephone game; invariably, players keep passing on phrases, statements, or words that seem nonsensical. However, the game does not consist of agreeing with, supporting, or even grasping the information that gets whispered from mouth to ear. In this way, such a thing as mis-replication symbolizes an inherently flawed ideal, as there exists no histameme or vaccime to immunomemetize us from the inevitability of memetic drift. Memes don't care what epitomizes truth or what might seem accurate. Memes only care for what gets recognized and what gets remembered. This exemplifies the difference between memes and folklore or myth. Whereas folklore and myth seem at least slightly concerned with the accuracy of the pattern, memes simply reproduce whatever pattern exists. Memes act more like cliches than myths.
Memes fulfill the fuzzy logistics of inconclusive speculation.
Rarely do we witness their replication through psychick osmosis, but they convey their contents through subtle inference, tenuous implication, or axiomatic suggestion. Contrary to popular sentiment, they do not embody a strictly tautological phenomenon and do not limit themselves to our base physiological methods of perceptual apparatus to fulfill their replication strategies. Astrologers imagine themselves able to predict events based on a non-heliocentric model of our galaxy; that sentiment alone produces ample irony to saturate one's screen in hot coffee. Whenever one of these astrologers comes within a pubic hair of relevance with one of many thousands of guesses provided daily, people who buy into the pseudoscience claim it lends credibility to the archaic art.
Rarely will believers in sun-sign astrology espouse skepticism (to avoid cognitive dissonance, no doubt), such as the medium's use of simple psychological profiling, overgeneralization of personality traits, or plain old-fashioned pep talking. It seems that those with very little common sense will actively seek out gurus who utilize it as a guise for wisdom, but feeding a starving person does not resemble an act of divinity. Nor even an act of generosity, as everyone expects compensation for their actions.
People will believe almost anything that serves their immediate needs. Theologians take the events in the Bible literally. They express concern over how the context of scripture has painted history through its romanticized poetry. This pre-packaging of truth derives from an integral part of political science, as the good man says, "the difference between reality and fiction is that fiction has to make sense." It appears that the average cadaver finds it less challenging to digest fictitious accounts of history, since detailed fiction often comes to a resolution (like moralizing sitcoms), whereas the reality of reality further complicates matters in the observational lens of our analytical minds.
We typically believe that no coincidences exist due to optimization strategies and modification parameters that are often determined subjectively. A narrowband permission structure represents all that remains for functional solutions to propagate results that only apply to an argument's rarest feasibilities.
If you found that the preceding two sentences made any sense to you, congratulations! You remain excruciatingly full of shit! You stand at ease amid the full faculties of your parasympathetic nervous system with intense climaxes of erotognostic catharsis through voyeuristic indulgence in chaotic clones espousing the full breadth of their uproariously farcical and absurdly Dadaist bullshit circus sideshow Heyoka parades of pomp, circumstance, and pre-conscious eidetic memery.
Recently, we concluded that, in the modern world, one can no longer simply buy the ticket and take the ride, as HST would say (even farmers buy special feed that prevents mushrooms from growing on cow patties), and the reason seems clear. The moment you open your wallet, you have 50,000 pop-up kiosks hawking similar tickets at a fraction of the cost and triple the promissory credentials.
However, as most remain well aware, with reduced price comes reduced potency and effects akin to micro-dosing, diet weed, snake oil gummies, and any liquid, solid, powder, suppository, or vapor that claims to act as an alternative form of Adderall, that righteously American pharmaceutical which enables us to accomplish what people with assistants do every day.
We sanitized the previous text according to the linguistic principles of V-Prime to accommodate your psychic inviolability.
In finer detail: We sanitized the preceding text using semantically correct vocabular replacements through a set of prescriptive approximations collectively identified as Vernacular Prime (or V-Prime). We take the time to refine our narratives and create space to reword our writing so that what we communicate to you remains cordial and hospitable to your intrinsic awareness, as well as appeasing and placative to your demonstrably parenthetical subconscious mind. We do this through the most sincere, empathetic considerations of your innate psychic inviolability.
Now, we must allow ourselves the use of the lexically obsequious common tongue free from these prescriptive strategies to explain things a bit more clearly.
V-prime has resulted from the application of General Semantics and E-prime, except taken to the next logical standpoint of aggrandizement. Although it may become somewhat awkward in certain instances within our written article above, mastering this set of tactics is not an easy task.
According to the Anti-Spells of Anonto (e.g. Anontology), there exists "a serious fault in the linguistic programmes which structure your thought, which can halve your effective intelligence," from Psybermagick: Advanced Ideas in Chaos Magick (Chap. 44)
Aside from examples quoted from their original context, readers won't find any tenses of the intransitive verb "be" within this article's lexical content up to the point we write, "Now, we must allow ourselves the use of the lexically obsequious common tongue..." which is where we begin writing without the premise of V-prime.
Tenses of "be" include am, ain't, are, aren't, is, isn't, was, wasn't, were, weren't, been, and being. It might even serve one best to eliminate all words that begin with the prefix "be-" like "becoming" and "behest," for example.
V-prime addresses the fact that Z(enseider)Z has made their underlying axiomatic principle: Nothing has Being; therefore, all is in a state of doing.
One can not "be" themselves. It's a fallacy. It's an impossibility due to the maelstrom of fleeting ideas, thoughts, and feelings inherent to the human mind-body complex. The human mind is so complex that we doubt it bothers to assemble a personality that is its own and its only. The mind-body has many personalities.
When someone says, "just be yourself" or "just be who you really are," we often assert that such concepts do not exist. There is no "true self" with which we are saddled.
Our consciousness is at the center of an indivisible chaos, being stretched in all directions through our emotional auras, each simultaneously repelling its opposite emotion, causing a wormhole to implode at its central axis from the energetic absence left in its wake. To imagine that one miraculous nucleic self is somehow more "you" than the rest is not only foolish, it is ontologically counterproductive to your personal development and insulting to your concept of your own mental capacity.
We have certain patterns of speech and modes of behavior that are detectable to others, but beyond that, very little goes without saying in Vernacular Prime. Even in the symbolic or semiotic sense, the symbols we are expressing in our use of the lexically obsequious common tongue when we summon any tense of "being" into a conversation are one of an unconscious nescience of the silent cues we exchange with the people with whom we converse.
For example, we are using the lexically obsequious common tongue to do precisely what we described. We are vice signaling our tribal relations in Zaza Nazak Zas-Nak Zanaz, our siblings in the Neo-Luddite Technophiles, the fleet of N.E.R.D.S. terminals that arrived armed with herbal tea and dessert cake, as well as other assorted swivel-chair manticores who are currently tombscrolling bsky but are ready to hack at a moment's notice, and miscellaneous paranoid conspiracist bong luminaries who have chosen this packet-switching microverse as their primary reality.
A comprehensive and incredibly lucid account of modern day memetic theory and its ramifications on human systems. I enjoy the interplay of highly specialized vocabulary with easy to grasp idioms. You display a vast expanse of cultural and occultural understanding.
out of the memetism I did a point and click game to sum and to glitch that practice ..
