If I share an idea with you. Am I planting the thought in your head, or am I cross breeding my meme with yours?Mental Stamens and Tweets as Brain Pollinators.https://t.co/y9uorrbCWL
I just realized that Virility is a word about male-ness and the association with the ability to have child is secondary. I just thought it was a term for being able to get an erection. Now my brain is thinking of mental viruses as vulgar dick jokes. Oh no.
I always thought virility and virality (virus) were the same latin root. But it turns out that virus (poision/slimey) is not the same as vir (men).Or is it? Etymologically speaking, 'virus' was considered the venom of a snake.I could see that as a really really old dick joke.

My autistic obsessions are like a mass of viral memes.People get upset with me for amassing an esoteric collection of them.They get bored, or call me names. Stuff like 'spergelord or memelord, or variations of foamer.I am a carrier of infohazards because I am largely immune.
Like a vampire's fangs, I have to hide them so them so you'll let me in. Masking with jokes, or relate-able analogies. Transforming into delicious insight porn that attracts curiosity. Maybe you'll pay attention if I am friendly.Autistic obsessions are like a Trojan horse.

One would think this is a pleasent process - transferin an idea through some beautiful artform, or whimiscal melody of thought.https://t.co/kZXBwg7f2h
But no; The ideas rip themselves out of me by force. Like a chest bursting alien.https://t.co/oNB5rdrJau
My tulpified self is is polygamous - wandering out on the web and commingling with other thoughtforms and idea parasites alike. But like a friendly cat, it brings back play things for the caretaker. https://t.co/AvLefZVnaZ
Sometimes my mind plays in the gutter and in the dirt. I Come back crawling with parasitic brain worms that leap from host to host.Here's one now:https://t.co/61emBvqrji
All art is generative art, the difference is in which computer is running the program.We see the output like phenotypic expression of a gene, but the code lives inside our heads like a seed wanting to flower, or as a fern sporulates.https://t.co/3zmm91Oy7t
"Those words on the wish to be able to say something new and original are 4,000 years old. They are from Khekheperre-Sonbu, during the reign of Senusret II. If an ancient Egyptian author can despair at his late arrival to culture, what hope have we?"https://t.co/IgMGsHP6gp https://t.co/sXUMXzVcmy
Tired: Which came first, chicken or egg?Wired: Eggs? Oh you mean chicken seeds.Inspired: Why is it so hard to find studies on chicken's laying 'Trophic Eggs' as a food storage mechanism?Fired:https://t.co/1Kv74LxYmX
Technically, egg came first. It was laid by a Junglefowl (Gallus gallus) and at some point in time this transitional boundary can be crossed where the outcome was 'Chicken'.But when? Due to ontology weirdness this may be a variation on the Godel's incompleteness theorem.

"Autists are those whom use their memes without prejudice and without fearing to understand things that clash with their own customs, privileges, or beliefs. This state of meme'ing is not common, but it is essential for wrongthink'ing..."― Leo Tolstoy, 1984, Probably

Some of the jokes I say literally require understanding the history of Mesopotamian herbal remedies.https://t.co/3WRYeU2U8C
It's important to learn about many things, like ancient sumerian dick jokes.https://t.co/SbxaVSKtRJ
Sometimes knowing an old meme is important, because it allows you to resurrect a dead horse.https://t.co/OLRC88KvuO
This is all a set up to show you this weird ancient roman dildo made from a bull's horn.Do you think this is where "horny" came from?https://t.co/QESGtCJZj1

Because culture itself is spread via not just writing, but songs, and pictures and paintings... and even woven blankets and weird bent sticks.The more you know about the world, the more complex the stories you can tell.https://t.co/MqGDrZYzyZ

Al ideas exist in the context of other ideas. So the more you map the territory of ideas, the deeper your wisdom can be.https://t.co/srRGnMfZEo
You can't understand it all; perhaps only "God" can. But you can situate yourself in the web of meaning and find yourself connecting ideas between ideas. https://t.co/avswwN9iThMake meaning.https://t.co/cu1OUxdGuU https://t.co/rMpWq5eZi1
The world is your playground sure. But playing well means understanding the nature of the game.https://t.co/nL0ipLUsRg

Memetics ought be a strong foundational theories by which we describe how Habitus evolves & how societies react to forces in the environment. But of course thats not going to happen. They're locked behind two dueling silos of prestige, policing each other endlessly. Ivory towers.
if you read enough books, you can start to predict what authors are going to say. Then you don't need to read the books anymore.At that point you've become part of the ebb and flow of the conversation.https://t.co/kAwFm8ViVg
@CianOConnor @byrneseyeview If you find out what the author themselves have read you can take this approach as a fractal and just move upstream to form opinions about the source material. For zero to one, I went from Theil -> Girard -> Heidegger and then spot check to see if my model's conclusions align.
Sometimes you can encode entire ideas in a phrase, and unfurl it in context.Like how transitions between scenes in Sherlock help create a sense of narrative coherency and aid in understanding.https://t.co/vEQhQMRMknhttps://t.co/7ynsvay0dn
In the other context? I was referring to all the creative thinking that Sherlock was using to infer signals and divine meaning from the envirionment.https://t.co/6V7H9YLhnjhttps://t.co/bBC001jSCt https://t.co/dLwsu26BHQ
The more signals you have in your idea network, the more far-reaching connections you can make between ideas.The term for this? Intertextuality.https://t.co/RoFS8XcfRb
6) a wide reaching cultural icon using a similar idea leads to a sense of Intertextuality => people get misplaced sense of understanding thru recognition of a past meme.( TL;DR: mimesis contagion via pop culture: https://t.co/ExKwjPb8RF ) https://t.co/tKuJIrvorw
Grow and weed the garden of your mind, or it will be done for you."But why are these things so prevalent on our mind? For what reason have these seeds been planted?"https://t.co/k1IitOPh2A
When you see shared rhyme, you can start to reason with them. To speak to the person, and use their ideas as your own."But why are these things so prevalent on our mind? For what reason have these seeds been planted?" was my metaphor about propaganda.https://t.co/0jRczco1b9

"Much of what may be labeled as 'religious' artefacts in prehistoric collections appears in a very different light to folks who use memory techniques that use features and patterns in landscape or textures as 'hooks' to which narratives are anchored." https://t.co/qbDwNfXhYv

That idea you're thinking about? It's an idea that someone else has chewed on before you, and if you write it down... the next person will digest it more.https://t.co/PKFwL3mLt0

By speaking, you're contributing to the grand tapestry of human thought. You're leaving your mark on teh world one word at a time. You're engaging in the act of creation. To create, is to be Godly. https://t.co/DBlk4IaJPT
@AliAbdaal @rudrakshborana The ancient greek orators used some pretty high level memory techniques to remember their stories. Strikes me that we ought to be framing ancient medicine with that in mind.You might appreciate digging into https://t.co/UXxUPJ5Kma on how modern Memory Olympiads are done.
