The word "meme" comes from gene, being something that spreads and changes as part of existence. Social Media has been like exposing our memetic code to intense radiation, causing mutations and growths of unrestricted cancer.
That's pretty clever. Was that one of Dawkins ideas or did you come up with it? (I haven't actually read The Selfish Gene) Memes becoming mutated during rapid global propagation is analogous to the woke mind virus that Elon Musk talks about.
I came up with it myself. I haven't read Dawkins either. The high-energy, constantly changing nature of the internet just makes radiation a fitting analogy. Especially looking at the results....
