noosphere

noosphere (noosphere) i am particularly interested in how memes behave as viruses and create a sort of "noosphere" that effects the physical world. Things that would be useful to model: Meme mutation/rooting vectors Meme spread through various media formats (tiktok, twitter, 4chan) Meme translation between languages Meme influence on physical world (protest signs, graffiti, etc) Memetic recombination Things that would be interesting to read about: Influence of lsd on meme development in the 60s History of goatse History of rickrolling History of other notable memes that have been studied at length Goatse gospels 8chan culture and its effects on meme development 4chan culture and its effects on meme development Livestreaming and meme development Tiktok and meme development The role of the "idiot" in meme culture
