>you will never develop an autonomous psychic time-tunneling probe that travels through all the ages from the dawn of abstract human thought and finds the one single era with the highest number of seminal luminaries and then get into your own time machine and follow the probe back to that point through the rift it created in the timestream and immediately introduce cellular devices and the appropriate geosynchronous satellites to humanity and use the probe's telemetry to get into personal contact with every one of the important figures of that axial age and then siphon their brilliant ideas away from the permanence writing and into the constant stream of ephemeral lowercase banalities that is texting like some kind of hideous vampire sapping the greatness from humanity like the marrow from its bones

Is the denigration of memes now a meme? And if so, have we trapped ourselves forever in an infinite spiral of hypocrisy, disparaging memes with a smug irony while basking in the meme-ification of this very same irony? The animalistic sense of belonging to a secret society of sorts, an invisible community perennially backing you, your humor, your very existence, a new social hierarchy in which those who meme are omniscient? Will we be forever doomed to an inner falsehood, a subliminal repression of our desire to meme manifesting itself as Freudian slips, pseudo-memes, and a delusional sense of superiority, believing that we have transcended this hierarchy when we have instead gone full-circle…ever returning to the center of the mandala, the meme, the pepe, the doge? Is the millennial generation forever doomed to the pack mentality? Lusting after the power of society’s backing?

“Beware that, when fighting memes, you yourself do not become a meme... for when you gaze long into the meme, the meme gazes also into you.” – Friedrich Nietzsche
