"The Left Side Of Darkness" by Ursula K. LeGuin featured a species of people that switched genders naturally, and only showed one or the other during mating/breeding season.
So you're not really out of line.

>Most memes either originate or are refined on 4chan.
That was true until about 2014. Then 8ch became the nerve center until the shutdown last year. I have my suspicions about where the meme makers will converge next, but can't confirm anything.
>This site is basically the subconscious of the Internet since it allows consequence-free, blunt and candid communication. I usually browse this site in a half-dreamlike state, just effortlessly scrolling and writing whatever pops into my mind unfiltered.
This is what chaos magicians would call 'charging the sigil'. Television puts you into the same high alpha wave state, making it a valuable platform for advertisers to get imagery into your mind. Sex and death imagery also fuels the process.
>Therefore, memes can be seen as archetypes since they come about during a less "aware" state and describe common personalities, desires and states of being.
The meme does not have to be an archetype in itself, but it must speak the language of archetypes (dream logic).

This is some maximum level clickbait.

But yeah, he isn't ever finishing this series. Even if he finishes the next book the TV show will have already finished.

I'm writing my thesis on the idea that high time preference (the econ jargon for impatience) is causing cultural rot.

A culture's time preference is correlates very strongly with its interest rate. Interest rates decrease as technology and economy develop. So in the course of the last few hundred years, we've gone from 15% to 4%.

That's when politicians started fooling with the interest rate. Recently, we've seen negative interest rates. Artificially low interest rates make an economy's demand for consumable goods skyrocket. So people buy donuts instead of buying tomato seeds, they go to the laundromat instead of buying a laundry machine, etc.

Keynesian economists love keeping interest rates low because all the spending looks good on paper, but it makes the invisible hand focus unduly on goods that don't have long term utility.

So what you're saying is just be urself

I do. When I do it on my own books, I only underline some sentences that I really like. But usually I write in library books. Right now I'm reading Werther and often comment on his stupidity.
