Natural and memetic selections aren’t the end all. There is another type that encompasses them both: query selection. Queries include linguistic questions but aren’t limited to them: they can be roughly abstracted to “a request for information.” This includes all types of selection, but also such things as sexual reproduction.
There is a class of queries: queries about queries. For example, “How do I ask better questions?” which has the wonderful quality of recursive self-improvement.
Memes become toxic/cancerous/parasitic when they supplant questions. X is the answer, full stop. The memetic war in a sense could be thought of as a war on questioning itself, a war on selection: the idealized viral meme would make perfect copies of itself endlessly.
What companies in the tech industry are concerned with queries? Try Googling it.

The purpose of meme warfare, is to weaponize truth and, thereby, to take the fight to the enemy, with out leavening the comfort of our own computers. You can be poor, You can be weak, and you can have few in number – but this does not matter. There is power in truth. It is not the gun, or the soldier, or the general, the president, or money that decides the course of events – it is the directing cause. The idea that lies at the root of action and gives it purpose
Now as never before we have the ability to reach out, learn, and spread the truth as we know it to be – not as it is presented by the moneyed few. We are presented with a state of affairs unique to history, an age of ideological memetic warfare, in which the controlling principles of mankind are loosed to spread with no physical barriers.
All of the weapons of an enemy may not be at your disposal, but in a righteous fight, you have the advantage – truth, which is anathema to the enemy; this we have and this we can use. We need not invent twisted new worlds to fit lies. We need only make what is necessary and evident palatable and polished
With only our wits and the reach of our computers we can and can change the world. Strike down the memes that direct degeneracy and you will strike down degeneracy itself. I do not overemphasize the importance of the role you may yet play when I say that the future is in our hands if you fight for Truth, fight for Virtue, fight for Beauty!
Everyone is a “memetic engineer” to some existent, but not equally in talent. There are some that are naturally exceptionally gifted at it. These naturals can generally be classified into researchers, content creators and pushers, with an even smaller set that are prodigious in all three. The first step was to identify and study these individuals, which was made possible by the internet. Then came augmentation: testing to see how to make these memetic engineering techniques even better. The final part was when these naturals were tapped to apply memetics to memetics in a recursive process that increased the power of the program exponentially. The popularization of the word “meme” on the internet was the result of this, and also served as a siren’s call to attract more innate meme makers. It has also helped to normalize the concept of meme and make it appear harmless and natural rather than something evil and scary.
All you can do is adapt to adaptations for a time until a new strategy adapts to those adaptions. It is truly infinite in complexity because the strategies build off of eachother
Saying that you’ve solved memetics is like saying that you’ve solved evolution – you may well have a fitting broad theory, but the knowledge of the ocerarching theory does not give you knowledge of how adaptation will occur or even could occur in a given system
At best you can make memetics into a science like economics and your theories can become more refined, but when you’re dealing with a living system that adapts to adaptations you will never be able to rest on any static strategy – the only static things will be necessary truths too broad to be useful.
As soon as the knowledge of whatever insight they have into memetics is itself spread, then the market changes and the strategy no longer applies – you can only front run. For instance, as soon as it becomes known that a certain method of adverrising is effective for getting a consumer to buy X, then, the consumer will be incolcated against this strategy in proportion to their mindfulness. Here socialization comes into play as those that still fall for the strategy are deemed slow witted and made all the less likely to fall for the strategy due to stigmatization
There this. It's a forum with a messenger system. I made it, and there's no zucking.
I'm working on making my own forum. It's new so the community is small. But I'm tired of getting zucked so I made this. https://keksarmy.com/
Well they want to make sure we're not talking about pedo cult.
